[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 605590, member: 6408"] Well, true, BUT! Here, again, I say HERE, we have a prob with auto mangement. Exam: Last week, a feeder driver had, what he perceived as, bad trailer hub bearings and wrote it up as such. It was a 100% pass-through load and when taken down to the shop, the supe on duty said (go figure), "OK to run". The next driver to pick it up in the same lot to continue it's journey took it down to the shop with (again, go figure) supposed bad trailer hub bearings. The mechanic on duty said that no way was he gonna sign off on these bearings, they were "cream of wheat". Download. Auto supe was furious! Tried his damndest to get someone, ANYONE, to take the load! Nope. Wasn't gonna happen. Funny, too, is that same day, same thing happened later on with same supe! Glorious! Point is...we DO write things up, it ain't fixed. Another exam: Couple wks ago, I had a junky 53 at a meet point. Saw it had hanging top light. Worked but hanging by wires. Daylight so I take it. Blew a tire along with mud flap and bracket. Got tire fixed but upon return, wrote these and myriad of other probs with trailer. Next day I see same trailer in MT by-pass area, no tag, no fixey of light and mud flap (couldn't see other probs fixed). Two days later I see same trailer in load dr with light still hanging by wires and mud flap bracket still bent up toward sky. I wrote it up but somebody probably wrote, "OK to run". My fault? Uh, uh! I did my job. Now, If I get that trailer tonight, you know where I'll be before leaving? [/QUOTE]
