Another driver is picking up my loaded trailer and dropping his empty. Only issue is the state of the trailer he's dropping. Apparently a load of ham didn't go according to plan and according to him there's a bunch of ham juice or something in the trailer. I don't know the severity of the trailer yet but would Blue Beacon even touch it? There's a BB in my town but if they refuse to wash it out I'll have to find some alternative method to clean it.

 

They will wash it if it’s just juice. Don’t say anything just have them wash it.

 

Didn't you mean to say the company will need to find an alternative method to get it cleaned once you’re done with hometime?

One would think since it’s a company trailer, it would be there responsibility to get the trailer cleaned!

just sayin

 

Said ham residue wasn't nearly as bad as i thought. Blue Beacon said nothing about it. Parked with the back facing the wind and doors open to air it out overnight. I'll probably wash it out again before I head out just to be on the safe side.

 

Dont know if it will do any good but I would take pics and report it to your company on how that driver left that trailer..thats unacceptable..

 

We have an account with blue beacon there’s an app on peoplenet with their locations, should the company drive the truck to aBeacon for him?

Just sayin

 

He already called and told me the trailer would need a washout. Met him at my local Flying J and swapped trailers. There's no Blue Beacons between OKC and here on 35/135, unless he wanted to backtrack south an hour to OKC to wash it out.

 

At least he had the courtesy of giving you the heads up…

 

Hard to ##### about the trailer wash out when the other driver is rescuing your load. You did the right thing….Enjoy your hometime!!

 

No, just sayin the company will tell him where to take the trailer if BB refuses to do a washout. He acted like it would be his responsibility to get the trailer washed out and how to go about it!
