All companies have some form of devil loads like that which you speak of.
To this day I have not engaged in anything to do with tiles. I made sure there is no tiles in my life after that last fiasco game time of filling office smaller than 40 foot trailer with tiles from Italy.
To this day I feel my blood pressure come up enough to make me reach for a particular medicine as a workaround thinking about it. -
I didn’t read through all the replies, so sorry if someone said this already.
You’ll be able to hear air if your pressure is dropping that fast. Pressure up the trailer and shut everything down. My guess is one of your kids is leaking or the blowdown valve is bad. But if you can’t hear anything from those two then check if you have air coming out of your discharge pipe at the rear, could be a bad hopper valve as you mentioned.x1Heavy Thanks this. -
He had three trailers. All did the same on rock.
When I found that out then the trailers aint the problem it's either driver or load physics. Ergo Rocks.
Alot of assumptions were made allowing for trailers themselves to be in good condition with possibilities for failures. I had a tanker breach it's main checkvalve once when blowing cement to a silo. It bounced a foot in the air, made a VERY human GAG and BOOM quit pushing cement to silo which then raced to the engine turbo itself. That was horrifying. And the customer instantly plugged from top to bottom.
He knew instantly in his office, the crying started prior to the phone calls to my company which rapidly came back to me. It was a really big deal of a problem and a horrible day.
I think they replaced the blower, replaced the valve replaced god knows what else in several days and nights. Handed me the trailer and told me to finish back there with the rest of it off. No one was happy. But It was not a firing situation thankfully.
Its one of the very few times in life I stood there like a statue with my empty mind filled with WTF and unable to process what was happening when that thing gagged on me. It was amazing to see. I hope that never happens again. I did the only thing I could do. Open the big pipe dump. That scoured the brickwall on the other side rapidly. If they are still in business that patch is probably still there to this day.Long FLD Thanks this.
