What's the procedure with this? Wasn't there when I got to shipper yesterday. Looks like it was done while loading, but I would've thought someone loading would've done a better job of hiding it. Guy unloading here at Jung had some nervous energy to him that tells my intuition it was him. I'm not Sherlock Holmes, the equipment owner, or a forklift operator, so not my problem to solve.

Robert and Chris said "tape it and it should be fine for Midwest". I guess I'll try a roll of foil tape and hope for the best.

Sent pictures to Robert and heading to Pilot for some foil tape. Is that pretty much the procedure for this kind of thing? I guess it's not that serious for the kind of loads we run. It'd be different if it was a super high end, ice cream designed trailer running -20 most days.

 

Yeah, I've noticed alignments here are more of an in spec is good enough rather than a spot on thing here lol. I think there's a lot of money wasted on irregular wear doing things that way, but doesn't bother me if it works for them. I'll probably still swing by the shop and get their opinion. The ovals are definitely taking on a rougher texture as time goes which worries me that it'll wear substantially quicker soon, but I don't know anything about tires lol.

Ah man, they got you running hard to make up for the slow start this week. Taking a 34 while empty is always more peaceful than loaded though. Maybe I'll see ya somewhere in CO

 

Yea tape it an go. But always take pics an submit them to safety an larry in shop. Document , document and i repeat document!!! Cover your ##***!! Especially if you discover a customer's fork operator creating the damage. I had a customer actually create a report for trailer damage. Lucky the guy fessed up to messing up the trailer. When in doubt ask someone what protocols they want covered.

 

Absolutely. I've heard too many stories to not document every little thing lol. That's another added benefit of this forum -- it's like a blog for things we found and when we found them. My photos on my phone are 80% pictures of BOL's, trailer damages, breakdowns, etc. I even screenshot Google maps to show my arrival at strict warehouses like Walgreens, Target, and Walmart lol

 

I jumped another guys truck at Tyson waiting to get loaded. Not that hard really.

 

That's rolling well, man. Those 8 minutes to spare kinda days take a toll for sure. Safe to say they made up for Monday with that kind of schedule lol. I'll wave at ya on 70 whenever I pass you
