Who actually checks their dolly?

[wonderring99]

I have only found a spring loaded latch faulty a couple of times in 19 years of driving, but was glad I caught those!!!!!!

Hey SoapinTrucker .. good to see you again!! ..

[SoapinTrucker]

Thank you W99! Glad to be back! Never really left tho, just kind of forgot how fun it is to be here!

Of late I atleast bump the dolly tires and do a quick lookover with a flashlight..

See way to may drivers just grab a dolly from the lot and roll out..


twice Ive hooked to my back box and couldn't hook up as there were either two red or blue connectors. Thanks *******s!

So now i make it a point to check it everytime.

My pre-trip used to be simple... The tires look round and I have some lights so let's go..lol..

I guess that's not really funny but that's what I did. I went a few miles with a broken slack adjuster and that woke me up. It's probably a miracle that I'm closing in on a million Con-way miles, but I'm now really thorough on pre-trips. I seriously check everything twice including the fifth wheel..

Well......I completely dis-assemble and then run non-destructive tests on every part of the dolley, before reassembling it to shop specs. Before using it on my run. Takes about 4 hrs., but as you all know, "Safety is our number one priority"........

Well put Micro Brew! Same thing here, every time I find a new problem, it complicates the PTI further, I think I'll make me a check off list soon......at 49, I have to double check crap anyway because by the time I get done, I'm wondering, "Was the lic plate light on back there?", or "Did I have all my lug nuts on that front box right side?" LOLOLOL

Someone once told me if it ain't leaning or leaking its good to go. Those times are long gone now.
