    Driver next to ya must of stepped in some dog ####.......It is sad that anyone would do that to another driver! We are all out here just trying to make a living. If I had a problem with something you had done, I would confront you about it, no matter how big you are, and try to sort it out.

    When you endanger the lives of others, it's actually criminal. But what can you do? That crowbar could of easily went through someone's windshield or worse yet, some tandems will hang up until you brake on the highway and then back they go. Possibly past the stop.

    Who did you make mad and why? That person is a sick individual and will have his day. Unfortunately at someone elses expense.

    What does the prybar in the holes do? I see pulling the pins can ruin your day, but the prybar?

    im thinking whoever ripped it off from the truckstop, the prybar and needed too get rid of it found a truck and presto his dum idea went off and while under there pull the handel, very dum idea coulda killed someone, what i did was i set the trl brakes back into it , then you couldnt pull it ,no matter how strong you were,course most mine was drop and hook and old trls and you were lucky if they slide at all.:biggrin_25513:

    first he pulled the pin, then shoved the pry bar in so the pin wont pop back out and lock. Now the rear tadems will slide when brakes applied. Next thing you konw down the road, the rear tandems slid right off the trailer.

    Waiting in line at the fuel island and doing all the stuff the O.P. was doing, should have been done after fueling , in other words, get your fuel, then pull out and then do all the other things you were doing.

    It probably wasn't personal ,but against the company. Disgruntled ex-employee and had thought for the driver good or bad.
    I've had my 5th wheel pin pulled before , didn't see it as it was dark , but hit the trolley brake and trailer hit the frame. had a heck of a time winding a loaded trailer back up.

    He fueled, then scaled, and parked on the side, sounds like He might have taken too long in the fuel line, or on the scale, not sure, but, I dont think it was intentional on his part, but someone did not like him for some reason. Lesson learned, Keep an eye on your equipment. No reason for someone to do this to him.
