Trailer Damaged - Can It Be Fixed?

**OpenRoadDreamer** · 07.17.2012

Got nailed by a speeder today in the back of my trailer. Its an 08 Ruetinour (however you spell it). The DOT bumper is now strapped down to the trailer, along with the sideplate. The rear area where the lights and all are has partially seperated from the trailer. Bolts are still there, but the aluminum tore away. Not sure if theres anymore damage that cant be seen. Guy who hit me had to be doin over 70mph.

If you post some pics of the damage we might have a better idea as to the extent of the damage

Your a company driver right? You might get a brand new one, so hopefully not right?

Ya Ill get a different trailer. Just looking for opinions. Guy here at Freightliner didnt seem optimistic when he saw the back portion broken away from the main part of the trailer.

It can be fixed depending on the damage to the main beams underneath the trailer. It won't be cheap, but it can be repaired. If they decide not to tho, just drop it off at my house

lol Its an old Passmore trailer from 08. We got some brand new shiny 2013 trailers in. Its all aluminum. The back portion tore away from the deck on the passenger side. The bolts are fine, but the aluminum ripped away.
