Scraped aluminum drive wheel

I like the swap idea, but you can trade it in to a polishing place for $100-150.

 

Driveway too. Got fixated on missing a truck parked on my right and forgot they had a guard rail right under my door. Looked horrible, but the shop fixed it in under an hour. Sprayed it white and good to go. Thankfully it was fiberglass.

 

#### puss& boots. That dang wheel has a million miles left on it. Just paint over it.

 

Come on Nancy swing that purse. Unless you have air loss or some new,new,new DOT officer wants to get picky.

If the spot missing bugs ya. Go get JB weld fill In the missing piece and roll. Do this over a 34hr reset or 24hrs if ya good with JB weld.

 

I guess you could blame it on me? I have yet to do a doosey. I had one incident once but got real lucky with no damage. Hooked up to a tanker in the dead of winter 10 below out miserable. I tugged on the trailer and it held. Trailer was frozen to the ground so I pulled hard on it, in an attempt to free it up. It came apart and I dropped the loaded trailer at the farm. It actually stayed up on the gear and nothing broke. That was close. It was a lesson to double double check the fifth wheel in the dead of winter.

Otherwise I haven't damaged anything else. I deliver to oatka milk products in batavia. Very tight backing with stupid concrete obstacles in the back of the bay, they are literally tire busters. The facility is old and designed with 10 wheelers in mind. 10 wheelers are a minority in milk hauling these days.... Everything has gone to class A 48+ ft tanker trailers, yet they won't update the facility. I don't care if it takes me a few tries I'm leaving there with the truck and trailer in the same condition I brought it there.

I get ripped on this forum consistently, I can hold my own. Maybe picking on someone else isn't so wise after all. I have my reasons doing what I'm doing and working for an imperfect company but I do ok. I take pride in what I do, and do it to the very best of my abilities. I have at least enough ability to keep myself out of trouble most of the time. That's half the battle.

 

##### buff that up

 

I wonder which is the greater issue. The nut or the wheel.

 

well, as long as you owed up to it, as soon as you could, rather than later.

sure, bossman may have been ticked off, but crap does happen.

you'll be fine, after you get skinned and lose about 3.5 lives......

that wheel can be refurbished if the owner wants to,, and saved for another mishap...(preferably not by you..??)
