[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1107253, member: 42691"] It amazes me how few drivers do a proper pre and post trip inspection. I irritate the mechanics I deal with, if for no other reason than they see me all of the time. When they sigh when I come back to the shop, I just tell them, "Don't blame me, blame all of the other drivers who don't do what I do." At least twice a week I go to the shop to change safety pins for the dolly because I will not zip tie a used-up pin. And the list goes on. One of my pet peeves is drivers who just ignore tires low on air. This happens all of the time. Most likely, it's because they get a little pressure about on-property times and won't man up and say screw on-property if it means they have to rush a pre or post trip. Nothing worse than a lazy driver passing his problem on to the next driver. Having said all of that, the 6XXXXX rail boxes I see are in good shape. We're only 500 miles down the road from you cahsux. But as many rush-rush drivers that we have, it probably is only a matter of time before someone screws the pooch with one of these junkers. [/QUOTE]
