    Sounds so simple, and straightforward yet is so difficult

    Dude I’ve ripped off so many mud flaps just get to a kw or Peter I’ll and buy a new one that’s wat I always do speaking of which I’m missing one lol time for a kw
    And oh yeah don’t laugh at me I run flatbed and go to a lot of construction places with uneven ground they always rip since they sit so low to ground like when I back up they come off with every little pothole annoying especially in winter my trailer I’ve rupped em off back when I was reefer at truck stops because of the curb it’s whatever tho really minor ####

    I hit a stop sign my first load out. No real damage but my company made an issue of it. Dont tattle on yourself. Just fix it. Or be like "idk I went in to use the toilet and.... or etc" They pay you pennies on the dollar and treat us like were disposable. Get yours because they're gonna get theirs.

    I’ve always tried to fix my #### ups myself. Usually find an old mud flap at the Truckstop parking lot. Ive never called in unless absolutely necessary, they usually don’t want to be bothered anyway. Especially in a trailer pool, always a problem passed along. Wasting your time. Sometimes easier and faster to just fix it yourself and go.
