Seal don't match load from mexico

No offense but I wasn't trying to be , it's just the truth

 

Yeah, that's not really helping your case. Lol

 

lol, didn't mean to offend anyone y'all

 

That's ok. You guys will say anything to hang out.

 

Having pulled a few trailers that went across the southern border and came back I can honestly say that you simply can't do a 15 minute pre-trip. They will replace aluminum rims with all steels, replace new tires with old ones that won't pass inspection, replace all the LED lights with regular incans, IF they bother to put them back in at all. I've heard of trailers where, after replacing the wheels with steel, they didn't even put the tires on the inside rims, only the outside ones.

I dropped one load at the Melton yard in Laredo and had to untarp it (was crated glass) so a couple mexicans could put their own tarp on it. The one they used was a K-Mart special that had holes in it and wasn't even long enough to hit the deck. At all. Lol

Sit at any of the warehouses close to the border and watch the trucks/trailers that come in from Mexico and you'll quickly appreciate the standards we have for truck condition.

And for those saying just note the new seal on the bills and run it you are far more trusting about what was done to that load in between the time the shipper put the original seal on it and the time you hooked to it. Simply put you have NO Idea what happened to it in that time. And while that's true if the seal would have been intact at least there you would have had a real case to say that you had no way of knowing what was put in the trailer as well as no real way to inspect the freight (unless you live loaded it, of course, but that's obviously a whole different situation to what OP experienced.) The fact that you wrote the seal number on the bills opens up the claim that you changed the seal as well. Maybe I'm just paranoid after my time in the Navy and driving truck, but one thing that has been reinforced over and over during that time was CYA.

 

I love some of these comments, just role, put it on qualcom, lol. You Will get jammed up at some point with this. These are not meat loads out of Kansas. I'm telling you first hand how #### works down here, but YOU DO YOU. We are a small company with a small yard down here, I'm telling you, those dogs at the checkpoint don't give two ####s what message you put in the qualcom. Just ignorant. But, you guys rock and roll, roll on trucker. You dick around down south where Im from, we'll that's riding bareback on a 20 dollar hooker.
