Conestoga trailer lighting violations and citations question

So it has 2 marker lights on the side and this clearance light on the bulkhead?

 

Who cares? Run the load. If you spend all your time worrying about the small stuff, you’ll never leave the yard.

 

Serious question, how long have you been driving?

seriously.

see here is how it works, if you get pulled over for a roadside or get dinged in a scale, you are the driver and you MAY get violation for it but if you don’t act like an *****, scream and yell at the inspection officer, chances are you will be told to get it fixed. However if you do get a violation, it is painless. You will sign the inspection paperwork, told to send it to the company and they have to deal with it, it goes in one of your records and it is forgotten quickly, it isn’t a big deal.

what is if you have no lights or flickering lights or if your trailer is damaged that it can’t maintain integrity for safety. So far that looks like an average cheap owners trailer and gets by.

 

You can surely tell the uncareing fleet owners in this thread.
If it is, in fact, not legal to drive then simply don't run it till it's legal. I don't care what it said that the odds are you getting caught or whatever, If the owner is too cheap to make something legal then that's their problem not yours. It is, however, your CDL on the line.
After all it doesn't take that much time to get a mobile guy out to fix lights on a trailer.

 

Most of the time I agree with you and most of this post I agree with you, but moving violations affect your CDL, equipment violations affect CSA and your PSP. So if he has a problem, it will affect his job, but not his license.

 

Thats the answer there.
Just go replace the pigtail/light up high, and tell him hes reimbursing you 50$

Takes 20 minutes, 20$ a milk crate or two to stand on and some cursing.
