    That looks like one of those heavy 48,000 lb. Pepsi loads. Many companies use their worst trailers for those soft drink loads.

    Those soft drink and beer loads are really hard on trailers. 48,000 lbs plus being loaded and unloaded with heavy forklifts wears those trailers out fast. Then run cross country on rough interstates and highways just exacerbates the problems.

    Especially if they are spring ride, they're not just hard on the frieght, but also the driver's spine... Had to pull those at Veriha and they were total peices of crap.... Also considering their idiot drivers always dropped them without getting anything fixed and too lazy to clean the garbage out before going into shippers

    To the op, if your company doesn't report to dac then it won't go on your record. It kinda sounds like a small outfit your working for so you might be ok

    Haha, most of the Bowman equipment I see around Hagerstown is beat up garbage. Along with their stripped down el-cheapo tractor units they always have for sale

    So I hooked up with this one girl at the bar one night, and there's hot girls on both sides of me, often times there are, but I do like I usually do and just gently tapped my way out. But this time one of the hotties fell, her legs just collapsed taking her down . But I still got screwed.
