What would you do?

Wellllllll, I did with a 10 wheel Freightshaker Sleeper with Singlewides......ONCE!!
Lining up the Sight Side, like with Tandems and BOOM, Jumped The Fifth, but NOT into the Sleeper.
ONLY TOOK ONCE in '19!
Trailer was 53' Dry Van, M-T.
Dropped the Bags, Cranked The Gear a bit, just another LESSON!!

1st time EVER with single wides!
CHEERS!!

 

Depends upon Driver Attitude when offering HELP 1st time.
IF Bad attitude, will not calm down, whiny, angry, cussing the world, "call your Dispatcher or Shop".

IF recognizes mistake and gladly appreciates Help, no problem.

2nd: "same Bat time, same Bat Channel". See above.
NO 3RD TIME!!

Chuckles Owt!

 

I've seen some STRONG WOMEN over the YEARS and Learned a few things from them.
My Wife drove OTR for a while and took crap from NO ONE!
She was Solo, like I.

There was a OTR young woman (in 1999 or 2000), who was about 5' tall, pulling a 53' Skateboard and Not Weak as She threw Tarps better than some Men at that Company as well offering advice to those that accepted advice.
I was new to the Game, advice gladly accepted.

There are Women in (or associated with) Trucking that offer advice but have no background to support such advice.

EVERY DRIVER has an Opinion.
The Delivery Of Information May Or Not Contain Sarcasm which, for 1 Factor, denotes Intelligence.
The Receiver Decides If Useful Or Not.

CHEERS!!

 

Brand new class 1 license with a few short weeks on it. Picked a load up in Boston with a dry van. Pulled out of dock and tried to close doors with no luck. I'm thrashing, sputtering and cussing about the POS trailer. A driver couple doors away comes over and tells me if I pull that wheel out of that pothole, the doors will shut. He was right and I felt very stupid. I went and thanked him and never forgot that day.
He was good to help me out with my stupidity. I try to repay it when I can.

 

Lol did the same thing at my 1st job.

 

I HATE trying to close the doors on a trailer when the lot is more pot hole then pavement
