I noted this morning while doing a quick inspection of my tractor and trailer (not going anywhere, just had a feeling I needed to do a walk around) that I'm missing mudflaps on the curb side of my tractor and trailer. They were there yesterday when I ran...
So that brings me to my two fold, and potentially stupid, question.
Im running through Ga, Al and at some point Ms. What's the dot's stance on these sturdy pieces of rubber?
As I said, they were there yesterday morning when I started. Did someone steal them or did they get ripped off? (Curious how something that isn't supposed to be touching the tires got taken off...)
Well, here's your chance! (Dot and missing mudflaps)

You backed over a curb more than likely. Not required on the tractor as long as you have a trailer, use your left tractor flap to get you going. Replace them all later.
CargoWahgo, Getsinyourblood, Panhandle flash and 3 others Thank this. -
Ill give SNI maintenance a call and see what they say. -
Mudflaps go for about 30 to 40 bucks and are easily detachable, so it wouldn't surprise me if someone stole your mudflaps.
Big Don Thanks this. -
I hate to say it but I was thinking the same. Especially since they are on the passenger side...
Big Don Thanks this. -
I think somebody needed some flaps. Were you in a lot, maybe at the edge, maybe that side was dark?
-
put your spare mudflap on and if you don't carry a spare go buy one
DrtyDiesel Thanks this. -
Im a company driver, so I don't carry spare flaps. I'll call SNI maintenance and see what they have to say. I don't care if I have to buy them, but I want to be sure there's not a better option first. -
You must have the mud flaps or you will get a write up.
I speak from experience.
its even a civil and DOT offense in some states
