    But they had a couple straps on those should have been good enough. :confused: Probably blamed a four wheeler for stopping in front of them. Crazy what we see out here. Saw a flat bed the other night with some sort of fencing on the deck. Last bundle leaning hard to the drivers side. Real small straps and most were loose.

    While i am partial to reitenours, i can also see that there are many broken main beam pictures, soooo

    In the interest of NOT snapoing mine, what specifically should a reitenour owner be on the lookout for?

    Its not as if theres 50% failure every 5 years due to coils...

    I wouldn't be afraid, Maverick had/has hundreds of Reitenouer trailers in their fleet and being abused daily by new drivers. I don't recall seeing one in that condition and I would think if it was a big issue, I would've.

    This has to be an AI generated photo set. I'm assured daily by members here that guys in W9's and 389's walk on water and never do anything stupid. Me thinks this was a Swift unit and somebody digitally altered it.
     
    cke, CAXPT, 48Packard and 4 others Thank this.

    While the tractor was gone, the trailer with load back upon it, was sitting right there last night, enduring the drive-by of shame.
