I didn't know running over a curb counts as a preventable accident

it's the truth, he's supposed to be a professional.

 

Find a new company tomorrow

 

The pin is the loading spot. Get in there without curbing a tire.



A Local shopping plaza’s “Truck” entrance. The Center divider curb makes it impossible to enter with a tractor trailer without hitting a curb. Get me in there without curbing a tire.

 

Some docks have curbs in front of them you must go over. Some turns are too tight not to curb and must be taken to enter your point of entry. Gentle, slow, and easy.

 

that's the point you don’t nail a curb. If you have to you ease up on and over it…… angled are better than square edged ones .

I’ve done it hundreds of times with my own tires……..

that company sucks period

 

In the last year since my new steers and 3 axle........one curb.

And it whacked my alignment.

 

Ok, I'll ask the dumb question, "how did the camera catch this?" Unless the curb was run over with the tractor and the shock triggered the camera.

 

Meh, ran one fri i thought was safe cause its the only way to get where i was going, i was wrong, curb had sharp breaks in it, was fully loaded and tire had certainly had some sidewall hits in its day (before me) tire gave up, called tire shop, replaced tires on that axle (been meaning to do all 8 trailer, just wanted dump valve set up first)

am i now no longer professional? Never missed an appointment that i didnt tell everyone wasnt happening at pickup, i refuse loads i cant be safe on, never had a load claim, no accidents, clean dot record outside dot finding "chafed lines" etc.

Go f yerself, if youve never curbed anything, you exclusively drive a short daycab and 28 foot trailer in montana, nebraska, etc and dont know what a city is.
