I don't report #### all to the driver's company if it didn't hurt anything we own. Last spring we had 2 trucks in one day bury themselves up to the axles because they drove exactly where I told them not to in the yard. What's the big deal, took less than 10 minutes for the yard kid to scrape some mud and yank them out.
People get wound up for no reason.Sons Hero, D.Tibbitt, BoostedTeg and 4 others Thank this. -

Exactly why I'm pretty nervous. Not sure lucky factors the trailer being light and no damage have any weight vs the preventable incident.wulfman75 and hope not dumb twucker Thank this.

Just remember if you were with Schneider, you’d just lost your job. Be more careful…remember….

Some places you're fired no discussion. And that will lead to guys screwing the trailers all up and hiding it. LOL
" Hi! I'm in Cave Creek Arizona. I tried the crank of shame but my landing gear is half a mile away. Anyways, keys are in the battery box. I took a flight home. Nice hauling for ya!"
Just don't do it with a tanker.Vampire, Cherokee65, wulfman75 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Had a friend who worked there. That's not totally true. If you dropped it at the non Schneider DC he worked at the local manager wouldn't report it. But yeah outside the gate you were terminated.hope not dumb twucker, broke down plumber and Lonesome Thank this.

I watched a lease op get his contract pulled at the OC in Houston, he pulled straight up and it fell on the frame. They pulled his lease even, and all he did was dolly back down and back up under, didn’t hurt lines or anything.Vampire, hope not dumb twucker and broke down plumber Thank this.

yeah no chance in hell you'd survive doing it at an OC. But if you're on a dedicated account, can crank it up yourself or your boss rushes a yard jockey to lift it, what happens in Vegas...........
