    One answer might be crown in the road maybe? Trailer is coming down the slight grade to the shoulder sideways.

    No this isn't that slight off track . I lived in Fl for years so I'm used to the road crown

    This is where you can see the whole entire right side and only a portion of the left side in the mirrors ; while in either the right or left lane and it drives me crazy.

    Right. That's enough for me to go find a shop and have it fixed. Im thinking now the slide rails and so on. Something is not square under there.

    I cannot tell you how many times Ive pulled trailers that were so abused that nothing on or under is square add about two feet to the right side of driving the whole time under it. I usually got rid of them asap. Pull into a drop yard swap a empty update the gaurdshack and go.

    When dispatch wondered about trailer numbers I give them the new good one and if they questioned about the other one, who knows. Check with your people. (They don't have time for that, but know the trailer is in such a yard...) I was so bad in my day. What I should have done was take bad trailers to the shop to fix. But there is no money in that.
