Tandem slide damage

And there is the rub.

I hae a theory that training is more of a circus circut to whip kids into a (When you are past 50, anyone 21 and younger are essentially children... with the exception of Armed forces etc) they do not take a moment that teaching these people to say the word No. To that dispatcher who says YOU GOTTA TAKE THIS LOAD. WITH THAT TRAILER DAMAGE.

It is a further thinking from myself that maybe some of our younger truckers don't yet have the courage to stand up and say no. Fix it please or find me a good empty trailer. Or reload at shipper into a good empty. Or let's find something else all togeher to haul.

Some companys REFUSE to accept such backtalk. How dare our young ones stand up and say the truck or trailer is broken.

I don't know how to express my thought that there needs to be a CHANGE within the management who has the power in every company engaged in trucking to support the younger ones and actually FIX that stuff or dispose of it and get good equipment.

I suspect that's kind of hard to do with 50 more in the orientation trailer ready to go next week.

 

Here in Canada it is 75% or more. So 3 out of 4 puts you at 75% therefore out of service. Every word is put at the right place!

 

Pins are the least of your worries the whole chassis will pull out from under the trailer under hard braking it’s jumped the lockdown clamp.. that’s why the pin won’t go in

 

the tandems have been known to slide off before trailers don't bounce very well,

 

The pins have very... Very minimal Spring pressure behind them to seat. No worried my friend!

 

This trailer needs to be placed OOS immediately!!! DANGER !!

 

This is safe compared to pics drivers have shared here in the past.

 

Short answer, Yup. easy to fix though

 

trailer isn’t being held down onto to chassis other than by pin pressure
