Pulling Container any Rougher than Dryvan?
I pulled flatbed for JB, hauled cans on 'em. In dropyards or terminals, at receivers, unused trailers, in your case, chassis, will be viewed by some drivers as a source of spare everything associated with the chassis. Ya' gotta check everything. Make sure you have your own stash of trailer lamps, a mudflap, and the tools to work on the trailer. You'll also be surprised how fast your time will go during your shift. What Blacksheep said is true too. Make sure you have a tire pressure gauge to check tire inflation, don't rely soley on a thumper. Don't believe the weights that are on the BoL, scale the load. ALL DOT bubbas view cans as a revenue source because they know how poorly maintained they are.
