[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 1098007, member: 5529"] Drac, I'm not saying you're not correct. You are. ALL the things on trailers should be correct for safety. My statement was in reflection if a burned out license plate bulb was the only thing you find at the rail yard, while a DOT requirement, you're really not going to endanger yourself or the public if you brought it back. Common sense prevails. Ever pick up a trailer on March 1st that had a Feb FHWA sticker that expired hours before,etc? Yes technically the trailer is in violation. But if you find it perfect in your pretrip is it unsafe? If you had picked it up 12 hours before you would have rolled. Im just trying to get guys up to speed on the container problem that has caused boxes to fall off. If you'll notice I haven't even brought up whether the rest of the chassis, tires ,lights, stickers, etc, is up to spec. This is a discussion on pins and retainers. Please feel free to start an educational thread on everything to look for on any given trailer. I'll support you 100% on it. [/QUOTE]
