My Experiance with Watkins Shepard!

there are things that shouldn't be posted here.............................

pulling a dangerous trailer, then dropping it to be reloaded again ?????????


WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sorry just saying what dispatch told me to do. It is very dangerous. Thanks.

 

Hey Trey, you know better,

be careful Driver !!!

 

i keep getting trailers with bulbs out, and one it was missing an entire light altogether. maybe someone stole it, who knows. easy to fix as long as they are the ones i can reach.

 

NEVER NEVER pull a dangerous trailer with bad tires and/or brakes. Don't care what anyone says, especially dispatch, safety WILL back you up. Get it somewhere immediately or call for road service if necessary but don't pull it around, you could hurt or kill someone or yourself. As a driver you have final say on the safety factor and what you will pull or not, and it's your ticket and no one elses....

 

If dispatch tells you to drop it somewhere, and its bad, and especially if your near a shop DO NOT drop it somewhere, tell them it needs to hit the shop asap before being loaded. They can and will let you take it to the shop.

One question I do have for you TD, if you got that trailer somewhere and loaded flour, why didnt you stop in Helena if it was on your way down from Great Falls? Why did you keep driving knowing it had bad tires and brakes? 70 miles from GF to helena if the brakes were bad you would have found out about it at that trip. Load late or not a dangerous trailer is not the thing to be dragging around 3 different states.

 

Interesting parking spot!

 

It's interesting to see your map of where you have and haven't been. How long have you been out on the road now?

My journey to see all the states was very different. I saw both Oklahoma and Louisiana within the first week or few of being on the road. Vermont, on the other hand, was my last state and took me almost two years to see (not counting Hawaii and Alaska as I still haven't seen those).
