I see that quite often at Sni, but I am of the very strong suspicion (I mean I have no proof) that it's a mix of people who just don't give a #### and those who are "saving the good ones" for themselves.

For a while, the non-dedicated lots had a problem with sealed empties or kingpin locked empties. They still do have a problem with it too.

Just on the Jcp lot though, I've lost count of how many bent hangers there are. It's not uncommon for me to roll with an "okay" unit, only to drop it at the nearby repair yard.

Most common issue is the abs system. It's not a dot thing, but if I'm going to pull it then it better be in good shape.

Hopefully those 5 phone calls will jerk a knock in their arse so they don't do it again.

We pull Werner trailers as a power only contractor at times. They always load the worst ones for trips to California.

No loads going out tomorrow that I can take so I'm going to take a short week and reset and head out to Hamilton Township, NJ with an Electrolux load on Friday.

Nah, they just save them for you guys.

If Werner had "overachievers" on their team, we couldn't make fun of them!

In all fairness, dedicated doesn't give us much time for any extra and the repair shop, while close, is out of the way. I always have to call and tell someone that I'm dropping at the shop, I'll usually get an extra 30-45 minutes to do the drop (which often times isn't enough).

I doubt they're bent in touching the tires with no flap on them though lol

Bad trailers are a rare thing here. By design. An advantage of working for a smaller outfit that spares no expense on maintenance.

Lol, Thursdays are a slow freight day for us. I was hopine to do a california and back run to get the weekend off but didnt work out. Leti told me to call in the AM if i wanted to gamble but i decided to take one of the two NJ loads so i would have a sure thing.

Heck the yard had hardly any trailers in the loaded area and I had to make a spot for my empty as it was so full. I think they were sending some of the local guys home early.

Thankfully no, that I haven't seen. But there is tale of a trailer that had its dot bumper strapped on using bungee cords and zip ties.

It was pulled for a month before anyone noticed...
