[QUOTE="City Driver, post: 503632, member: 20145"] the landing gear was snapped and buckled up at a odd angle, youd have to see it but the trailer was resting on the wheels like normal, and the corner of the bottom of the trailer [IMG]http://i336.photobucket.com/albums/n352/carloscoy135/pupcorner.jpg[/IMG] the corner i pointed to in the yellow arrow was resting on the ground, the trailer was ready to tip saying a pup cant tip is absolutely ridiculous remember, it was a yard tractor, with a hydraulic 5th wheel, which means the landing gear stays in its exact position and the 5th wheel platform raises the whole front end of the trailer a foot off the ground maybe......in our yard we have to raise it all the way cuz our yard is in absolutely terrible shape and if you dont then you will scrape the ground with the landing gear dockworkers and ups freight employees are not qualified to be doing this kind of work at all, its like saying the tenants of an apartment complex should fight a massive fire before the fire department gets there because "the sooner the fire is out the better" they were all ordered by management to do this, nobody volunteered this....i think the steward showed poor judgement and so did all the dockworkers (many who arent very experienced at all) and yes they are 55 gallon drums, usually between 400-700 lbs [/QUOTE]
