So I'm hooked to a trailer right now that looks like its bowing in the middle, not up or down.. but to the right.. I have a load of shingles thats off-center to the right by maybe 3 inches. I don't know if its actually bent or just the mirrors and load playing tricks on my mind. If in fact it is bent is that a violation? I've gone all the way up and down under the trailer, no broken welts or cracks in the frame. I have a couple pictures of what it looks like in the mirrors I can put up later
Bent trailer

As long as no welds are broken who cares?

an off center load can change everything,and just because you dont see broken welds or bent crossmembers dosent mesn somthing else might not be wrong.

Most likely the mirrors.... get out and look at it from in front of the truck and behind.

Why not grab some string or rope, and tie it to the front of the trailer while walking to the rear and holding it tight?

"It looks bent in the mirrors" that had me rolling on the floor

Is the thing dog legged?
-
find a lot and drive in sharp circles the opposite way of the bend, that should straighten it out
