The only was if can see this happening accidentally is if the driver had to slam the brakes REALLY hard in order to avoid an accident, causing everything inside the truck to shift forward, crushing your package. (Pun intended)

But even in that case, the driver could have taken much better care and secured the cargo... Especially if there's fragile cargo.

I doubt very seriously this was the drivers fault! I work for an LTL freight company and trust me, if you knew how this stuff got handled, before it even reaches the delivery truck, you would NEVER ship anything again. (I don't work for UPS btw) all of your packages get stuffed into a trailer by some guy who's getting a paycheck whether your package is in good condition or not. (keep in mind that not all of us that work for these types of companies are like that but 85% are).
