    I had a place one time that wanted me to unhook from my trailer (Crain load) I told them no way that's not going to happen everyone had to wait in the parking lot while they pulled my trailer inside out of my site, I was pissed ended up wasting 4 hours fighting with them and broker paid $300 more ill never deal with that broker again he said I was being stupid about it, my trailer was $31,000 I'm not letting anyone drag it around when I'm the one paying for it.

    My dispatcher is fighting to get more money for it. We will never deal with him again.

    look for a truck parts store like truck pro on your route. if you can get near them, they will bring part to you. I would not worry about a leaking shock. wipe it off & get on your way & get it replaced in route when you can. it's not like a air leak or something major. though paying someone at a small shop should not cost much if your not sure. I did mine, but one had to be heated, so I took it to my local shop to have them change that one out.

    Always change shock in pairs or the new one will be doing most of the work. If it's a drive, change out all four. There are better shock available than the ones that come from the dealer.

    I can wear short pants in the Winter?

    Why did they have you drop your trailer?

    My guess is because they couldn't close the building doors with the tractor attached.

    I have to do that before. Drop the trl. because the bay were to short and they wanted or thought they need to close the doors
