Just Wow! But doesnt surprise me. Ive seen conestoga drivers pull the curtains back and have all sorts of load securment just laying around the deck, with very minimal securment on the load.

Ha! I've dealt with trailers with completely flat tires, no brakes, missing brake and tail lights, roof leaks, broken floorboards, damaged overgoods, holes in the sides, dangling and dragging air lines underneath the trailer, barn doors that wouldn't close properly, missing and broken door latches, and even paper license plates.

Used to be gravity was good enough to hold the trailer on. Then some genius said:
"Oh boy! If he hit a bump big enough to launch the trailer vertically 6 feet at the exact same moment a hurricane were to blow under the trailer reach his trailer will fall off!"
Now they gotta chain them down lol.Bud A. Thanks this. -
November 2014 to April 2016. I’ve had all of the above plus landing gear that wouldn’t retract/extend(moisture got into the gearbox and would cause the gears to rust and seize up) and ABS lights that would come on (and sometimes someone would pull the plugs on those on purpose to try to get pass the inspection lane to prevent the trailer from getting shutdown) and axle hub leaks.
Have had more than my fair share of paper plates(if there was one at all).
First truck was 2653( 2013 Cascadia) and my last truck was 4072(2015 Volvo).
