Be Safe Out There

Quick short but long story.

I dropped a trailer with a flat week before last at a DC. Tire blew about 15 miles from delivery and we have a shop at said DC.

So I take trailer in guard says to drop in a door I tell him it has a flat and needs fixed he says they're waiting on your freight drop it and let SN know and we'll drop it once pulled from door. I dropped it then went to shop told the Mechanic and he wrote down trailer number and issue.

I did DVIR and even sent SEM a message.

I went back this week and trailer was loaded with pallets and still had flat tire.

Moral of the story I don't know but even telling them don't mean it'll be fixed.

And yesterday it took 2 hours to fix a flat after the approval was called in at a Loves. Man they were slow.

 

Just picked up a preload with a borderline bald tire...put in the report and got a message back that the last dtiver reported it...figured with the way they push safety at orientation that a reported problem would be fixed...silly me lol. If I bring it by the tire bank in Gary, will they just fix it or do I need to get approval first?

 

They will inspect the tire, if they determine it needs replaced they will do so. No need to call first.

 

Buy the food you like and keep in your truck it had a fridge and room for a microwave.

I put frozen croissants in the freezer and hamburger patties, chicken Breasts ( that's right I said breasts...lol) brats, steaks and carry potatoes to cook.

Now I'm hungry.
