Turns out the plant that used the trailer for outside storage of whatever when needed had removed the NUTS only on the dolly legs. Unless you crawled into the frame of the trailer you would not have seen it.

IE... That's different. Didn't you notice anything when you backed under it? Like gravity not being your friend or something :?:

My first week as a regional driver I'm sent to Medina,OH for a pickup. It was night time and snowing. The street that I was traveling on suddenly became a DEAD END/ONE-WAY street, if that makes any sense at all. I was supposed to turn right at the beginning of the one way. I kept on rolling and after a 1 1/2 blocks I was wondering, "Why is traffic driving in my lane directly towards me?"

Thats when all of the (Do Not Enter)and (One Way)signs began appearing. My first thought is OH #####. Now I'm a rookie driver who has to backup about 50 yards with cars parked on the side of the road/ traffic driving directly at me and straight line backing through an entire intersection without hitting anything or person.

When it happened I was scared,embarrassed, and nervous but I lived and I learned.

No the BOLTS WERE RUSTED TO THE FRAME ENOUGH THAT THE LEGS CAME UP. However once I started to move they vibrated out and then BOOM. Had to pick it up and put it in the back of the trailer then drop it on oil drums and used brake drums at the yard that was fun when I did that. Funny part was when I got there was the plant called and was looking for this trailer they wanted to put something in there.
