I think someone posted about the ice road truckers and there was some info about the carrying weight of a moving truck compared to a stationary one. IIRC there was about 20,000 pounds difference in load, moving vs stationary.

The pressure point is moving and is not static, so the stress is not in one place for long, Sort of distributing the load over a wider area, instead of one spot.
