    Yes and we don't know exactly just yet. We have no estimates yet.. had us get the front Axel's and tires off to steady the trailer, something like that, and haul it back in an empty trailer. Had to have road side assistance for that and pick it up to bring back at their shop after delivery our cargo

    That sounds like it hit something solid if they pulled axle assembly.

    It was a railroad crossing at the turn. Pothole by the rail. So yes it was solid. The police officer said GPS should have never sent us that route. Not made for big trucks to turn and it happens all the time. Very small back road.

    Must have been a huge pot-hole. Did your trailer hit the hole itself or did you catch the rail with the trailer tires?
     
    TheLoadOut, bzinger and Lonesome Thank this.

    Both. The rail was sticking up by it. Couldn't go to far into the grass or we would have tipped over off the side of the road. Even had the tandems all the way up. Just all the way around bad. Makes my husband feel like ####. They don't provide a GPS which they said they did during the initial interview with the recruiter so had to use Truckerspath

    And now we get the rest of the story. You got fired because you destroyed their equipment.

    Yeah. A little more than a bent rim and a blown tire.

    Hmmm. I knew of a J Mar out of Atmore Alabama. They ran those ugly geen FLD’s but they’ve been out of business for awhile now.

    then there was Julian Martins company J Mar out of Searcy, AR. Julian died in a plane crash and his son Mark Martin (NASCAR Driver). Took over the company. Those are the only 2 J Mars I’m aware of
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.
