    That’s pitiful.

    How long were you shut down for? 10 hours?

    He’ll have to answer for sure but I’ll bet just long enough to tighten the strap. That’s what happened to me.

    That’s the only way they can justify there existence.

    me too. I had a 60k windmill hub on one end of outrigger boards and strap over the other end. Needed one click on the ratchet strap. I walked back performed the magic and boom back in service

    This guy pulled out in front of me with his 1/2 ton truck with dump trailer loaded with bits and pieces of drywall. Dropping random parts of it on the highway as he drove 55. Yes I took the picture with my phone. I got close enough to get some detail, then backed off so his trash didn’t hit my truck. Gave him some air horn with a #1 as he pulled into the gas station. No lights worked on the trailer of course. Didn’t see a license either. People are such losers.

    Yep like the other have said, out of service just long enough to get one click on the hand ratchet and do the paperwork. Cost me 6 cents a mile on the month and a cent for the entire year. About $1600 in bonuses.

    More than a few could upgrade their cop skills by watching The Andy Griffith Show, specifically Barney Fife.
