    Those are the corners from the last handful of cat treats. She doesn't like those when she's a coatimundi, cause that's how coatimundis eat.

    Left side looks broken around the hole the push rod goes through

    It is why I dont like recaps. The glue isnt as good as the original manufacture. There was a time when using recaps on drives was frowned on. I guess times have changed. Locals here no longer run recaps and the tire shop sends them to the shredder.

    Well two different slack adjusters. That’s a no-no. So they put 2 new ones on.

    Looks like everything got beat to ####. New hub because the tone ring is eff’d up and the list goes on...shoddy repair leads to more delays. This trailer was brand new in November of 2018. Sad what’s been done to it.

    Took me looking at that second set of pictures to realize that trailer is not air ride....

    No wonder they can't get good freight (and pay the drivers better). Most of it requires air ride even if it is heavy.

    Yup. I picked up this a.m and found it during pretrip. Took it about a mile to get repairs.

    Sad. Hopefully they get it fixed today so I can drop my trainee who is graduating and get home for a two days before I go back out with another trainee.
