I can't wait until you start driving your own truck.

The first time you hook up to a trailer with banged up doors or whatever and drive by me, I will just have to think the same thing about you. After all, it is what you are saying.

As far as the turn, accidents happen. Things look different at night and in the rain.

By the way, I don't and never have driven for them.

Roadmedic,
Huh? Did I miss something?
I poke fun at the fact the door has also been recently replaced and you get bent out of shape at ME?
Did you read the remarks on this thread?

Is it just me or is there something wrong with this picture? (no pun intended)

It is the way you put the blame on the current driver. Like he was responsible for the damage on the trailer doors prior to the recent bad turn.

When you go to pick up a trailer, there are always some winners.

Yes, I read the posts and I also noticed that you as a student was making the comment about the doors.

Not meaning to be mean or anything, just implying that other drivers will have similar thoughts when you are unlucky to pull a gem behind your truck.

You might also be unlucky to have a truck that has been dented or whatever by a previous driver.


Best of luck.

Not trying to be sarcastic, but if you pick up a trailer that you can't find some sort of damage with it, you aren't looking hard enough.

I especially like the ones where they decide to shop for the lights rather than go and buy new ones on the trailer another driver picks up.
