    Drive over the river to the farm here and we'll fix it up with baling twine.

    Guess your in a bit of a bind PRIME likely does not have many flatbeds sitting around up in that area for you to grab in place of the damaged one.

    It's actually not uncommon for the back of a Reitnouer to fall off on its own. They finally added some bracing on the newer ones to keep it from happening.

    It's not really that big of a job to replace the entire rear of an aluminum flat. I was at East and they have stack of complete rear sections waiting to be welded on. I'm sure Reitnouer isn't any differerent.

    Trailer got fixed, kinda. Its welded back on and seems to be welded good. Trailer is back to being legal. Will pick this load up n drop it in OK, then head for the yard so they can do whatever they feel like with it. Ill be getting some truck work too, along with a break. Its an 08 trailer, kinda old for the fleet so, they might get rid of it. Our brand new 2013 trailers are in :D I want one.
