Well, you meant it could be worse? Cause it didn't look like a good discovery to me either! Did see you a few weeks back at 245 pickle park west bound in a middle of the day....

Sounds like you lucked out here in a way, kind of like the way I did with my cracked trailer.
I couldn't imagine what kind of damage stuff like this could do.

If the trailer would have came off the truck, it would have been catastrophic, I had 25 tons on, I had gone past at least 7 other trucks, there would hae been no where for them to go,would have needed a helicpter to see the carnage, I was shakin' for a few hours after that.

Yikes. I guess that's why they weld king pins from the top side huh? Trailers should come with access doors in the top deck so we can check the welds.
