    Uh, I have hauled huge rolls of paper, never a problem on the cross bronx., going south or north bound. All some of us see are sheet metal ripples where someone either sideswiped a tree, a pole or someone side swiped the trailer at a truck stop. You guys with so little experience seem to find fault with too many things that just aren't there. Come back in about 15, 20 more years and then tell us how worried you were over nothing.

    Vast amount of the trailers strength is in the floor. That company stretched many trailers . Many shops did them wrong you add five feet , you do not just add five feet of floor. That leaves a clean break (pun not intended). Floor needs to lace into the floor , at least two cross members. What I am seeing is a floor failure. Even fixing a hole in the floor , no two boards are to end side by side , except one end or the other of the trailer.

    That's what I thought when I clicked on this. A trailer with no top wearing females causing a scene and possible crash. What a let down

    I love a good challenge. Just looking at the picture, I see nothing to worry about. Might change my mind if I physically inspected it with a magnifying glass.

    Like someone else said, but with out looking back, I will paraphrase it,

    "If I was to sideline any trailer with such "minor damage", half the fleet would be side lined"
