side rail damage, will dot put me its for this?

Well Cluck, I guess I've been doing it wrong for a long time as well..

 

Some guys have only rubber tire sticking out. Some have nice SS flap hanger, light bars or fenders so they might wanna keep their goodies tucked under the trailer so the forklift with short forks doesn't hit them. If they think the rub rail is their bump stop they'll hit anything sticking out past it.

 

Yeap Nd if you come to my state i will stop you in a minute now guess what else i do other than driving truck... DOT eh eh

 

Mind quoting that reg that says you can put a truck oos over a rub rail being damaged? Guys cut sections of them out in specific applications every day. Installing pipe stakes permanently is one example of this.
