Why do some of the old carolina storage trailers have an "R" next to the emergency glad hand. I have seen this R drawn in grease next to the glad hand on some of the current trailers. I can only assume this was a practice at carolina. But what does it mean?

Could it be an "R" for roll door? Not like it isn't on the bottom of that big yellow sticker.

You are correct. Before Carolina started putting a "R" decal close the glad hand. If a trailer was a roll up, the yard switcher would mark them with a good old greasy "R". Wish I had a dollar for everyone I marked that way. Would not have to worry about my pension cut.
