Logging Pretrip

And as usual...My timing is perfect!

 

OK...till tomorrow..got to get some sleep before the wonders of the Shasta/Dunsmuir scale (SB)...might as well mess with their heads and be legal on the log as I go by!

######..brought the thread back to logging...MY BAD!

 

But for what it's worth....What's it worth? Worthless if you ask me...But as a way to pass time it's worth wonders! But I must wonder after all...Is it really worth it?



See you tomorrow my friend...For what it's worth.

 

I see some real smarties here.
I dont check my brakes every ####### day. I do check them. They aren't going to wear out in a ####### day. All i ####### said is that i dont have to get under the trailer to look at them...

 

Now driver..no need to get harsh!

 

Phroziac yes you should check your brakes everyday. I have a excellent example. I was pulled in the Castaic Scales for a Lvl 1. The trailer got a fix-ti ticket because a brake pad had come loose. The pad was in such a position that it was still effective. Every since I take a closer look at brakes. Oh BTW I P/Ued the trailer in the comapny yard and it was fine.

 

I check the brakes on every single trailer i pickup unless i get lazy, which happens sometimes. But thats not a pretrip. That's part of the process of picking up a trailer. Every once in a while i get to pick up an empty and have a choice of which one to take, and i look for...brake condition, body condition, E-Track or not, air ride or not, and tire condition basically. And air slide tandems vs the BS handle that never actually works.

I usually dont have the same trailer more than a day so it usually doesnt end up on my pretrip. but if i do than i do..

I still dont get under the trailer to check it!

i used to get under the trailer to check my kingpin but i recently learned a way to do that without getting under from another driver. Just get behind the landing gear and stick your head under there. Thats all.

 

I need Doyle to help me interpret this .

Be careful what you ask for. I'm still trying to decipher the majority of Doyle's primary thread.
