in their defense, it really is the package loader's fault for not blocking off the trucks properly. I used to work for Yellow Freight, and I saw that a lot for a couple reasons: improper blocking (not making sure all the pieces fit well in the trailer), improper loading (not enough, or too much crap), or poor driving etiquette. This happens a lot for freight stuff, so just make sure to have fragile posted all over anything you might be shipping that might make its way to a freight vehicle (I've sent cases, and DJ equipment out, and I was always scared it would never make it to its destination in one piece).

Truthfully, those pictures only show a few of the disasters that happen while shipping. But truth be told, more than 99% of all packages shipped make it to their destination perfectly fine. Cheeers!
