Hook to the trailer, drop the air in the bags (tractor) and attempt to slide 5th wheel...no movement! Air up bags and attempt to take the pressure off the pins...trailer moves right with tractor....NO AIR LINES ARE HOOKED UP...NO AIR TO BRAKES...SHOULD BE FIRM IN PLACE...NOT!

    Walk over to shop, get the mechanics to come check things out....tension springs on both sides are broken on trailer brakes, air leak in drivers side suspension bag of trailer! the driver that brought the trailer to Sacramento from South San Francisco could not be bothered to write up the trailer.....24 days ago!

    THIS TRAILER WAS JUST FINE AND DANDY WHEN I DELIVERED IT IN SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO! WHAT HAPPENED? AND DIDN'T THE DRIVER NOTICE HE HAD NO BRAKES ON THE TRAILER....PROBABLY NOT!

    So now I have to delay my trip while the shop repairs the issues!
    The other drive may not have even known the spring brake was broken. It has nothing to do with the truck stopping.

    But the leaking airbag should've have been noticed, if it was leaking bad enough.

    Quick shower and grub break in Rock Hill, SC. It's really really nice to be walking around without even a jacket.

    Dagnabbit, I'm not working right now, Sonny, so I'm not down in the area. I knew you'd be this way while I wasn't down there, just the way my luck runs. Don't give up, it's gonna happen

    If you are ever near that peterbilt dealership. There is a bar right across the street. When I got my truck serviced they gave me a coupon for lunch. Nice little pub upstairs. BEST hamburger I ever had. I sat there and watched them tossing lobsters on the grille. Talk about a good eats place...
