    I have been there several times. No one has ever inspected my cab. The trailer they do. So make sure it is washed and fueled.

    I have received more phone calls while I'm on home time from mentees than I do while I'm on the road. LOL

    5 for 5 on new trailer needing repair. Two badly leaking air bags. So audible you can hear it from the front of the trailer and strong enough to make my compressor run every 2 min or so.

    Breakdown has to be tired of hearing from me.

    Glad I'm leaving good trailers in my wake.

    Brakes were so weak on this trailer I had to plant the tandems against a curb in order to slide them. It makes me wonder how the driver that dropped this trailer even was able to move the tandems to the far rear.

    Next time hook your red line to the service side on the trailer. Then supply the trailer. It will engage the service brakes on the trailer to help freeze that tandem so you can slide.

    Trick I learned at Werner.

    Good sign the brakes are out of adjustment.

    The only thing you have to worry about doing that little trick is if the brakes are worn out bad enough is over caming them. Could even have a self adjuster that's either broken or frozen up.

    I wish... I'm trapped in the northwest. Delivered in Seattle but due to my 70 had to swap my AR load in Rawlins WY for a load going right back to the Summer Costco...
