Give me your opinion

C= Find driver have a little chat. you really don't want to lose a high value account because of a rookie mistake.

 

I agree with report it.
The driver of dropped trailer has already
1) not installed padlock per company policy.
2) left trailer without kingpin lock.

He may be in shop for repairs. Easy enough to find out. Go look.
If he's not there, call your company.
They should know where he is.

What if trailer is already stolen?
Maybe tractor is stolen. Or worse.

You never know what you don't know, until you know.
Good luck

 

then take your crow bar and pry open the doors as the cops pull up. then turn around and advance towards them with crow bar to tell them what you saw.

 

@ DSK333
OH Man.... I was just fantasizing of being a hero...rescuing an entrapped princess. They'd show me on CNN and LOL.

 

You would be a Facebook hero.
You and her would ride off in the sunset
Happy ever after.hahaha

 

that's why, one should never leave home without a LARS. (or MLARS)

 

Man some of you would immediately call on the driver? That’s messed up man. You never know what a guy is going through. My opinion in these situations is and always will be, confront the coworker like a man. Don’t be an ### just talk to him. If his response is belligerent or unreasonable then make the decision wether or not to involve management. Straight up taddle tales really piss me off.

 

Okay, all you guys that are telling the driver not to call in...what would you want done if the you were the owner of the trailer?
Would you want the OP to let you know what was going on, or just take a chance that there's a reasonable explanation for no kingpin lock?

Edit....OP, look around for the driver. If you find him tell him about the lock. Maybe he just forgot it. Maybe he's just having a bad day. It happens.
If you can't find the driver or if you do and he gives you a bunch of attitude for trying to do him a favor you can give the office a call. Call anonymously if you want, but call. If you know there's a high value cargo in that trailer you can bet the thieves do too.

You have no idea what's in that trailer by looking
At the seal. It could be empty and the driver put
it on there so nobody would take it.
Mind your own business.
It's no loss to you either way.

You must be a new driver because a older one
Wouldn't ask this question.
Brown nosing gets you nowhere as a truck driver.
You can't kiss butt to the top, because there is no top.
Make one mistake and your fired just like everybody else.

You've been brainwashed by some megas safety films.
There was a time when everybody dropped trailers
At truck stops and went home for a week.
Nobody said a word either.

 

You don't get it.
