Passed full Level 1 and got a sticker for the windshield

Had a driver that was a little lackadaisical about inspections, and usually had one or two nit picky violations. Then he got a clean level one, and magically, all the pre-pass sites lit him green.

$100 for a clean inspection didn't motivate him, but those green bypass lights made him a believer. He hasn't had a violation since...

And for the record, it took me 8 years to get my first clean level 1 (only had three in 8 years, but still...).

 

Not to get too far off topic, but I had that problem on one of my trailers. Chased it and chased it. Ended up being a worn out pigtail plug. Running lights never "flickered"...but if the the ABS pin has the slightest break in current, the ABS light will come on. Try a new pigtail cord and see if the issue goes away.

 

Done THAT already. It's somewhere in the trailer ABS unit. I can hook to any other trailer, on a power only basis, and never have an issue.

It's in my trailer. I may need to strip off major sections of wiring and rewire the sonofabitch, or grenade that ABS and install a system that can stand up to driving off paved roads.

 

Also check the female recepticle on the trailer itself. Seen them with excessive wear that would cause the same issue as the pigtail cord being worn out.

 

Yep. I'm canoodling whether selling my 48' spread axle flatbed and buying a 3 axle step deck will make business sense. This morning I spent a good 15 minutes Jonesing over a 3 axle Benton in the row ahead of me. I stopped slobbering and got back in my truck when I noticed the driver giving me the stink eye in the rear view.
