I would like to know if you all think I'm being difficult or if I am being rational. I dropped off my load and grabbed an empty and was told to drive to drop yard about three miles away and hook trailer that is already loaded. Cool, drop and hook. Get to yard, drop empty and hook new trailer. Start pre trip of new trailer, ughhh..... no mud flap on drivers side. This drop yard is a place where we have rented a few spots so no maintenance dept or anything. Sent in message saying no mud flap can't take it. Get message back asking to take it and head to a truck stop to get it replaced. There is a loves about thirty miles down the road. My reply is no, I won't move trailer, it has no mud flap and I do not want a ticket. There are cops all over the place as a norm going that way. I can tell they are aggravated because the load may be late, but be aggravated with the person that dropped this trailer here without doing a post trip on it. So, I hear about now its going to add time to the delivery and so on. Not moving, send loves out here. Three hours later still sitting here and dispatch won't respond. In the two years I have had this cdl I have never been pulled over, never had a ticket and managed to keep my csa points at zero. I realize its just a mud flap, but it is a ticket for not having one and points I assume. So my question is, am I just being difficult or protecting myself as any normal person would?
Am I being nit picky
