A few weeks ago on the interstate I was behind a Fed Ex van whose back door was swinging open and closed every few seconds. There were packages on the floor within a foot or two of the open door sliding around.
I pulled up beside him and tooted (not blasted) my horn and then gestured multiple times at the back of his van. His response was to flip me the bird and speed off. 
I feel sorry for the people whose boxes probably ended up on the highway.
A few years ago I was driving I-8 into AZ from CA through Winterhaven (SW corner of CA). Big winter vegetable growing area. In front of me, a flatbed truck was hauling boxes of lettuce. These boxes are supposed to be securely tied down. Nope, I watched as one, then another fell off the back of the truck onto the freeway. Clearly more were to follow. I immediately called 911, which put me through to the CA highway patrol, which had a station LITERALLY AT THE NEXT FREEWAY EXIT. The dispatcher sounded bored and came across as having no sense of urgency at the prospect of big cases of produce falling randomly onto the freeway. It was getting dark, too, so extra dangerous.
Full disclosure: Neighbor Cat has been living in my house for about a year now, so she’s technically Our Cat via e Cat Distribution System, but the name stuck. (I do feel weird yelling “Kitty-Kitty-Neighbor Cat! Time to come in!”)
Owl cat went to a haul in lesson with me. I opened the lq after tacking up and found her sleeping in my bed lol. I was always careful but after that did a nose count before leaving in the future.
I live out in the Salad bowl of CA and this is a common problem. Often it’s overturned trucks or the whole load falls into the roadway. What a mess. During harvest season I’m constantly driving by bags of salad mix or spinach or heads of lettuce, etc etc
Though I will say I wished I had been around when the raspberry truck lost its load. I would have been grabbing whatever I could and snarfing it down as fast as I could. Sometimes if they lose their load like that, they cannot sell it so it will get given away at site.
where is the spilled load of canned cat food or dry food? Or even litter…grumble grumble…
A co-boarder was going to work in DE. Lots of potatoes on the sides of the road for a few miles.
OMG what I would give for a truck load of Fresh Step Crystals!!! I freaking love this litter, but OUCH it has gone up at least 30% (if it is more than that, don’t tell me!)
I had a similar experience, but with a dog on the back of an ATV. We saw it fall off the side and it was being dragged with the owners not being aware. With the help of another vehicle, we managed to box them in and forced them to slow down until they realized it. The honking and waving wasn’t doing it.
Oh how horrible! Did the dog live?
We didn’t stop, but it seemed more or less okay when we drove off. It wasn’t dragged very long. We could see that the owners were very upset when they realized what had happened.
When I lived in Ventura, CA, a milk tanker truck overturned on the 101 coming down the long hill in Camarillo, spilling milk onto the freeway.
To my surprise it was treated as a hazardous substance, with the workers all wearing Tyvek suites and full-face masks. I’m still not sure why it’s safe to drink, but not to clean up.
Refrigerant mixing in with the milk?
That is one determined kitty!
She really is.
Put a cat carrier in your car and take her with you. 
The cute carriers where the cat sits up high and can see out of the window.
Does Neighbor Cat want to live in your car, perhaps? With you, of course, you would both live there instead of the house.
What does the Neighbor think about Neighbor Cat’s life choices?
For several years my late lab believed that our primary residence was the trailer-towing SUV. We spent a lot of quality time together in the SUV.
Lived on a farm at the time. Once when we were on an off-leash walk around the farm, he thought he had lost me and was a bit panicky. He ran back “home” to huddle at the driver’s door of the SUV and wait for me to find him. Parked under a shed roof about 50 feet from the actual house.
The neighbors I think she came from already think we’re immoral, inclusive, tree-hugging liberals*, but I haven’t asked them about the cat. They think one of our kids is trans, so they sent the sheriff over to tell us not to set foot on their property a few years ago. I just don’t interact with them anymore. Neighbor Cat moved in when it got really cold and stuck around.
*3 of those things are true
I did not know that one could get a sheriff to deliver a message to one’s neighbors. Who knew that delivering messages is a service provided by a sheriff. Not me. 
I think Neighbor Cat made a good life choice there. 
I wonder if Neighbor Cat wants a different new name? To establish a permanent disconnect from the neighbor of origin. 
The TLDR on the sheriff was: neighbors decided kid was trans, called him over to their yard, tried to get him to say he wanted to be a girl, told him he was an abomination and tried to get him in their house for an impromptu Bible study, at which point he noped out and ran home. When the other people on our road started calling us to let us know the weird neighbors were going around trying to get people riled up about the supposedly transgender kid, my husband marched over and gave them a very l is us piece of his mind, and THAT’S when they called the sheriff. The deputy who came out was actually very pleasant, and we assured him we had no interest in setting foot on their property ever again. They have since moved on to a new feud with the people who bought the field west of them.
