The story says the truck backed in, they unloaded the hot tub, then after the weight of the tub was off the trailer, all the sudden it was too high??? Hot tub must have weighed 42,000lbs?By the picture, I am gonna say the container hooked the steel beam and pulled it out.
And I checked with big Dave Outwest. It was not a coop truck.

UPS to Wind Down Freight Pickups With Strike Looming

https://www.ttnews.com/articles/ups-wind-down-freight-pickups-strike-looming

"UPS Inc. will stop accepting overnight freight pickups after Nov. 7 because of a potential strike in less than two weeks by about 11,000 union workers.

Freight employees rejected a contract in October even though Teamsters leadership recommended it for approval.

Workers will begin voting Nov. 7 on what the union called a “final offer,” with results set for Nov. 11."

Los Angeles, CA (AP) After the breaking news that Khloe K. finally dumped Tristan and has her sights set on Mr. Outwest, TMZ released a secret video of Khloe courting Mr. Outwest while begging him to call her. Sources say Mr. Outwest already has Khloe’s number but couldn’t confirm that a call had been made. Neither Khloe, Mr. Outwest, or Wideload could be reached for comment.

Wage gains pass 3% for first time since recession

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/02/us-created-250000-jobs-in-oct-vs-190000-jobs-expected.html

"The ranks of the employed rose to a fresh record 156.6 million and the employment-to-population ratio increased to 60.6 percent, the highest level since December 2008, according to the department's household survey."

"But the bigger story may be wage growth, which has been the missing piece of the economic recovery. Average hourly earnings increased by 5 cents an hour for the month and 83 cents year over year, representing a 3.1 percent gain. The annual increase in wages was the best since 2009."

Interesting how prevelent brake problems are out there.

I think FXF would not be an exception to the percentage because of amount of old pups. Think of the rusting nose stands, P1, and non P trailers.

Had a trailer for 200 mile run with the brake chamber hanging off at the loading dock.
Last driver failed to post trip AND yard jockey.

Lots of trailers with ABS light on, not sure anyone fixes those.
