    This locking pin issue points to something that still makes me want to throw things. If you are about to drop a trailer somewhere and it has damage like this, why can't you write it up? I don't know the history of that stop, and you can bet it was an OOS too. Somebody either did not pre-trip or they did and just said screw it. Not one of these videos is DOT cops being nasty either. I wonder! Did a life get saved maybe by getting this garbage off the road?

    The loose front axle should not have been a problem, it was well lubricated!

    I would love to tell the average flip flop wearing mega driver he has a loose axle bolt and watch him scratch his head looking for it.
