I'd roll if it were me.

Why not call breakdown and get it fixed? Why leave it for the next driver? I swear this me me me attitude. This is one of the things wrong with this industry now a days. And yet they expect the company to keep the equipment working as it should but the driver doesn't inform the company about needed repair and then the driver complains that the equipment is ####. So much for personal responsibility.

Dropping trailers in need of repair is one of my pet peeves. It cost me time and waiting to the #### fixed that the previous driver couldn't be bothered with. And it's a dick thing to do. If a trailer breaks down on my watch I will get fixed. The load can be swapped or rescheduled.

Are the tires rolling while trying to slide? Been my experience that it's usually the brakes are in need of looking at.

This causes problems for us too.

The linehaul drones coming back in the morning don't write up their trailer issues, so the outbound dock shift loads them the next night so the driver can sit at the shop getting issues fixed that should've been addressed during the day.
