I made a Choice to come to Schneider

If it's a live unload in Laredo you aren't releasing the trailer to anyone (you're leaving the receiver with the trailer) and therefore, you don't need an inspection. However, whenever you drop a trailer at the receiver and leave it there you have to have an inspection done at the OC

 

Sounds like you're doing well for your first week out. It's not until you get into your 5th week that you run into trouble like three trailers in a row that needed new tires because the last idiot didn't do a post trip or just didn't care about the next driver. Frustrating part is these were all dropped by fellow IC's.

3/4 inch bolt in the tire on this one


These brakes look very safe for sure


Then of course there is the tread cap that's coming off


Plus there is the damage from being hit or sideswiped and still reporting the trailer is in perfect condition


Which that leads to a bent up landing gear handle


And finally let's not forget the sidewall damage where you can see the cords



Let's just say I'm happy I don't carry a gun with me in my truck because I feel like I would want to use it on a few IC's out in the middle of nowhere, lol

 

the reality is there is a reason some are called steering wheel holders and they dont all work for CRE SNI or Swift
they live breathe and cohabitate among us
look like us and talk a good story at the coffee counter

 

That's the only drawback with working with a mega carrier is the idiots that don't care.

 

Hmmmmmm.... i absolutely have no idea on how I confused myself with 94 and 04. I must have had a long day that day.

 

94xxxx trailers are actually 2003 or 2005 model years

 

All I know is that I'm hooked to a flawless 2 month old TA156xxx right now with 1486 miles to go and I couldn't be happier!

 

Lucky, lucky lucky. I'm attached to a TA135XXX right now and it need a new tire which messed up my schedule for delivering this load tonight
