Ditto.
Old does not mean unsafe and new does not mean safe.
A 45 minute pretrip, if performed properly will make it clear if your vehicle is safe or not. You do not need to run them to the shop, or down to the DOT.
All you need to do is to understand that your life is on the line and then you need to walk away.
No trailer, tractor, or load is worth your life.
