Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

There is only one thing that pisses me off light years ahead of anything else and that's the amount of 10+ year old trailers here with broken tandems.
Every time I pick up a preloaded trailer that's a TA9 series I'm crossing my fingers

For those who think it's no big deal well it is a big deal when a customer rejects you because they want the tandems slide to the rear but they won't slide and then you go have to blow half your day going to a repair shop to get the trailer fixed all of which you won't get paid for. Yup that's happened to me twice now. One time was a quick fix where a pin needed to be hammered in from the passenger side, the other time forever.

I've asked around and nobody says much about it... there's no way I'm just this unlucky with trailers.
Since day one this has been a huge problem for me.

 

Schneider has a LOT of brand new trailers soo many but they also have many old trailers too.
You misread what I said.. I said "which you won't get paid for".
I don't pay to fix their trailers, it's their trailers. I was saying nobody is paying my fuel or paying me during the hours I spend babysitting a POS trailer being fixed.

 

Let me just say that this only happens when I pick up a preloaded trailer.
When I get an empty I always go for the newest one. If I have to get an old one I make sure the tandems work.
This trailer I have now the handle won't pull out all the way sooo I can't release the pins.
Schneider does have a lot of new trailers. I've had a few 2016 trailers recently as well but they just need to get the 10+ year old ones off the road.
