    Roger that, just my 2 cents, but double, no triple, check that that's all that's damaged.

    As you know, I run mostly specialized contract freight within a 300 mile radius, home every night. What little bit else I take on, if I choose to, is all local work. I park it for Jan-Feb, heading to Albany, NY tomorrow and likely VT on Thursday. At 61, I'm not real keen anymore dealing with brokers and running the spot market for OTR work. As much as I loved it back in the day, my OTR "wandering" days are long gone, LOL..

    I pulled the hood and checked it out while I was getting unloaded. It looks good from what I can tell. Still drives the same. So, hopefully that's it. We'll see. Gonna call and get a quote on a new one installed. I'm guessing around $8k out the door in today's money......lol. any guesses before I call?

    #### the bad luck man,

    I did not. I've got some decent Yokohama on it right now. I'd imagine they are pretty close.

    MC and DOT on the side box door, ifta and inspection stickers are on the stainless trim under the door. Screw all that extra mess that they put on.

    Automatic trucks don't move unless you're on the throttle. Prolly jabbed it to get it moving and it took off on him faster than he expected.

    My food service company all our reefers were spring.

    Edit. The newer spring ride trailers ride pretty good even empty

    That's crazy. Last time I've seen a spring ride trailer it was an all steel flat hauling coils.

    All your LTL companies have spring ride trailers along with all your big van companies.
