    Hey some of the trailers are just junk...I had a 05 Millis "air" release trailer when i pulled the handle it snapped its ugly ### and grabbed my glove and put a gash in my forarm 3 inches wide by 4 inches long..as I scrap along bottom of trailer....took 2 days to stop the bleeding. I was shocked at how it grabbed my glove and as a Captain I wear really nice gloves...The glove didnt give...Thank god it wasnt shark week.. Trailers suck.

    Be Safe Out There

    It wasn't a lot, probably around what I'd earn after fuel working a full day on a pretty good paying load.
    But they washed the truck too but that's no big deal.

    I certainly didn't do it for the money because overall I probably earned less than I could have because I had to take that cheap load to get me there.
    I did it more so for the adventure and doing something different that will probably never happen again in my life.
    They said it was just gonna be my truck when I accepted to do it but then in the process they sneaked in pictures of me in front the truck.. for a "memory for me" and it won't go online.
    I haven't shaved in like freaking two months.. imma be real pissed if they post that mess all online lol.

    I've never gotten paid anything nor have they paid for my fuel going out of route dealing with POS trailer drama.

    Usually I try to get myself out of a screwed up trailer when in my judgment I think it will be a big issue or take a lot of time to get resolved.
    I do that by calling in and pleading my case which SO FAR as worked.
    There was one time I actually just did a swap for a different load at the same shipper I saw on the load board so that wasn't much a hit besides a time hit. That was one the times there were multiple missing pins on the tandems.
    Bare in mind these kinds of things only have happened when I picked up a preloaded trailer, I don't take POS empty trailers and screw myself.
    There have been times I rolled with stuck tandems and some of those times I got rejected by a customer because of it.. aka those times I went for repair.
    It's not a good moment when a customer rejects you because the tandems won't slide :oops:

    That Beckley service plaza is the only place I have been solicited so far since I've been driving. I'm also on the band wagon of not stopping there just because it irritates me when I have to get up while I'm sleeping. If I'm short on hours I generally stay at the Walmart north of there, no clue on the town or exit I just know it's where I get off.
     
    freightwipper Thanks this.

    They are good but not if that's all you can eat all of time.
    How about some variety Peelot? maybe a little? please? [​IMG]

    I went to the Sheetz truck stop in Virginia a few days ago. Wooo man that place is great!
    They've got touch screen menu's with sooo many food options you can customize and then they make it for you on the spot! I wish places like that could be everywhere...
    I got Cheese Curds and Garlic Parm Chicken Tenders (almost said Chicken Tandems lol) when I was just there. Heart attack to go baby! lmao!
