[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1850805, member: 52978"] Got one similar. I rolled into the yard with an EMPTY pup once. No seal of any kind. We used a thumbs up/thumbs down sign to signal the guard. I thumb down. Empty trailer. brand new guard. should be end of story. I'm on the phone with dispatch. The guard walks up to my cab. I say "I'm ok. I don't need anything." She nods her head and walks away. I'm still OTP and I hear a loud BOING. What in the hell was that, I'm thinking? Another loud BOING. followed by a loud bang and my whole rig shakes. I hang the phone up and jump out to see WTF just happened. I get to the backl of the trailer and there stands the guard, bolt cutters in hand. What the blankity blank did you do? ." Obviously very pleased with herself she replied "I cut yo' seals." She had cut the cables on both sides of the roll up door. The last sound I heard was the cable rolling back inside the trailer and going round and round the spool mechanism. Those doors weigh hundreds of pounds and I couldn't even budge it trying to roll it up. The mechanic at the shop was not amused. I can imagine how much work it is to respool one of those doors. Next time I'll tell you about the security guard who lost, yes lost my keys not once, but twice in 1 night between the trailer and tractor. lol. [/QUOTE]
