    This is wierd: !!!

    Got up and went to restroom and upon returning started my pretrip. When I got to the back of my trailer I discovered someone had installed a new LED tail light on my trailer. None of the others are the LED type and all the dirt had been wiped from the area. The rubber boot around the light was scrunched up.

    I couldn't find any other damage and the old one was working. There was no broken material laying around so I am bewildered.

    maybe someone backed into me last night and was honest enough to fix it.... go figure...

    Hey your lucky it wasn't one of those drivers that does a hit and run.
    Its good to know there are still some people with integrity out here
    driving trucks. I have been hit and scraped quite a few times and who
    ever did it just took off. I am sorry to hear you have a medical condition
    that requires a doctors attention. I cant stand going to the hospital. they
    have just as many incompetents as the trucking industry. And thank you
    again for hooking me up with SEC. I am very happy with this company.
    I go back on the road tomorrow and they have me set up on a load al
    the way out to Washington. Not sure if its Spokane or Renton yet. not
    a bad way to start my week.
     
    tow614 Thanks this.

    Wow, you actually do a pretrip and look at stuff. We had an O/O hook up to one of our trailers a while back and pulled it of the stands. It did not have any axles under it. You would think you notice that part when you crank up the landing gear. :biggrin_25512:
