Try to restack it, don’t tell the boss?
If the load has shot forward, drive backwards sharpish, then jump on the brakes.
If the load has tipped backwards, drive forwards etc.
I once took a load of flour (sacks) to a place in Leicester but the load had slipped backwards slightly, and the elves (& safety) refused to tip it. So I said no worries I’ll go restack it and be back in 10-15 minutes. So off down the ind estate I goes. Once round the corner I floored it then hit the brakes. Then pulled over, jumped in the back to see if it had shifted enough (No), so I repeated the brake test. Jumped in the back for the 2nd time, figured out it looked ok but could do with a little shrink wrap once tipped. Then went back to the place and the elves took delivery. All I had to do to keep em happy was put a bit of shrink wrap on each pallet as they took it off

^^This is possible, then think about how much you didnt secure it enough for it to move in the first place and see if you can avoid it in future if similar load

How the Hell will a Load shift?
I had a whole load shift forward, 26 pallets of cans needed restacking by hand.
I was in line for the sack until I produced my dashcam video showing some [ZB] [ZB] [ZB] Woman driver pulling from Lane 2 - 1 then virtually stopping to turn into a petrol station without notice over about 100 yards.
Dashcam = Paid for itself!
I had two pallets of unwrapped cans of coke move but not fall over restacked them but makes you wonder why it’s acceptable to send them like this as unless you put a pallet on top to I can’t think of a way to secure them with a strap

Shame there isn’t some way of forcing the woman to restack your pallets as way of punishment. That would teach them.[emoji3]
tell the boss, blame numpties who stacked/loaded it in the first place, restack it so it gets accepted, be the hero.
If you get to a drop and it is refused/cannot be unloaded because the load has shifted.
You should be re-stacking it, because you have not secured it properly and or you have driven like a ■■■■■ 99 times out of 100.
If you let something get loaded on your truck that is already falling over. Then you should be re-stacking it for being foolish enough to let it get put in the truck like that! 100 times out of 100.

+1. It’s the drivers responsability so make sure it’s secure
+2

If it’s a case of loads not secured properly on pallets that’s a warehouse/shippers problem.The driver’s responsibility ends at refusing the load if the load isn’t secured to the pallet or can’t be secured to a pallet because it should be in a stillage or a cage. 
How are you supposed to know whats inside, for many of our brethren driving van/fridge lorries/trailers the reality is that they don’t see the load until they pull off a loading bank, they haven’t a clue whats beyond the two rearmost pallets.
Personally i preferred it when we had flat trailers and could stick the odd pallet upright between some dodgy looking stacks, we could also direct, up to a point, where and which way round we wanted the load as in those days we supervised the loading, even if we didn’t and in the morning arrived to a temporarily sheeted lorry we could see the shape the sheets traced over the load, and with sensible rope placing apply pressure exactly where it was needed, directly to the load or on the sheet between pallets.

Then you go inside and check. Use a bit of common sense
Difficult to check a sealed trailer though.

Common sense isn’t allowed in the UK any more, try climbing the load to inspect (how you gonna see over two full width pallets with 18" clearance from the roof?), and short of climbing up a rope suspended from a sky hook and then monkeying along the top of the load how exactly do you do this with a trailer out in the yard?
The reality of the situation doesn’t allow for sense any more, how would you inspect such a load in H&S lunacy land ?
Can’t believe the shot load comment hasn’t attracted dipperdave to the thread yet 
Had some ■■■■ refuse a pallet because the actual wooden pallet was damaged.
“Can’t take that off…drive,unless you restack it”
“Leave it on then”
was just fastening the last strap…when apparently he’d had a word with his boss and was gonna do me a favour.
