I ran over a sign.

Here’s what you do... you drag the trailer down the road far enough that the downed sign will not be attributed to you.

Then you call the company and tell them that someone blew a tire and you hit a big piece of retread in the road.

 

Yea. That streak of rubber left from dragging the trailer will never lead anyone to you.....

 

Running over signs is no big deal. Those ones that say “Photo Enforcement”? I run those over all the time.

 

I was going to say, air lines.

Don't be running over stuff.

I once took on a truck tire and rim. Truck took it. But my paycheck did not, miles of new airlines. The second time I saw one laying in my lane, I horsed it around pretty hard. Tossed the front end out and damaged the sidewall belt on one steer.

More paycheck pain. Yes Boss I'll be good next time. Yess sir boss. kissy kissy kissy. Ugh.

These days you are simply yelled at and then fired.

 

Those are not lawful in my state thank god. Not like there is anything to worry about. However the cameras are there and the video is sent to the Highways and also to selected users within the Government who thinks there is value in real time watching a intersection. Idrive dot com certainly benefits.

Maryland however DOES have a border wide system of cameras that will flag a stolen car via tags or some other problem vehicle when it enters the state. My CHL is tied to the Drivers License which happens to be tied to the tags. So the Law knows there is a gun carrier potentially when the tag is run.

Im still working on a Non Res permit for Maryland, It will take a while.

 

The first time I needed one, I didnt have one. Now I always carry one, and the box end wrench that fits it!!

 

I hit a light pole in Hartford ct ! Tandems all the way up in the front - Trailer swung and hit the pole, the pole landed on the utility wire (I was lucky!)

Stayed there & called 911
Cops noted I didn’t leave
Utility crew came and put the pole back up.
Have a nice day sir

 

If it’s just one brake, I wouldn’t bother with a caging bolt. Just back the slack adjuster off and run with it.
