    FedEx is reworking this load now finally. Im putting straps and bars in myself when they are done restacking. Hopefully won't shift and fall over again. I honestly think they should half the seven pallets into 14 pallets so not so top heavy being stacked to the roof so no risk of falling over again. But Abilene told them to redo it how HP had it.....I miss pulling tankers, never had any load issues with those, lol!

    I’ve heard from others here on TTR that Tankers were a great option. Looked into it before coming back here. I guess I returned to the Devil I knew... lol

    It's all rusted!
    Hopefully the doors of the trailer won't fall out on you. I bet that is not even inspected?

    Outside of the rust, it’s the best pulling trailer I’ve had this year. And not one driver added ding, scrape dent or hole.

    The yard is looking pretty good... when they started, I assumed it was just another patch job... but nope... looks to be a full resurfacing... nice surprise as it was the first time back on the yard since they started the top coat.

    for some reasons they thought this needed to be fixed and not just wired up as before... which was good as that was my thought on the issue as well... both side skirts are jacked up... what does a Driver do to them? I know how jack knifing a trailer will impact the vertical rear fairings, which they did that too... but both side skirts???

    thoughts?

    Goodness!
    That team really mistreated that truck!
    Hope they fix everything good for you.
    Is the truck a 2019?

    It’s a manufacturer design flaw. Almost everyone has had the brackets replaced. Mine as well.
