I Flopped my truck over with a load of rocks.

@D.Tibbitt - sorry to see this. Glad you’re unhurt.

 

That haul road looks like a Mainline in my neck of the roads. If it's that slick & steep throw some iron.

 

Fixed it

 

The aluminum trailers can twist quite a bit and naturally recover from it. The way the trailer repair shop will look at the trailer should be like this. When it was uprighted did it go back down with the weight on all the tires or were some of them still up in the air. ( on flat level ground of coarse) Did axles get out of line at the sructure mounts. Axle damaged only can be replaced fine. The structure and trailer beam is different story. If the trailer looks like sitting normal and checks out straight on alignment machine it is good that way. They will inspect header, bolster, pin, all welds and bolt joints for movement, cracks, breakage or looseness. If good then replace, repair what need be and go back trucking or resell.

Some that have been rebuilt may not be used otr anymore. But regional and local would be fine. It takes a lot of damage or a complete burn to the ground fire to scrap one. I’ve seen Danes and Utility’s fixed with Fruehauf or other competitor parts on so on. I’ve seen both flats and vans after a wreck Lengthened, shortened, overall height changed higher or lower. Roll up changed to swing or vice versa. Rebuilt to different specs for another persons use. If roof was sardine canned it could become a tarp covered hard side with a little work. Stuff was not thrown away.

 

That’s a huge slap in the face…. Last payment, then flop

 

@rank I don’t know how to link...but here it is.

We're you stuck in the truck, after it rolled?
