Did he complain the chain was 15% too short?

That driver needs a mirror just to see his,”unit”. Probably hasn’t seen it in a few years.

Hope he doesn't use a convex mirror - makes it look even more disappointing.

May not have been the drivers fault? Volvo should have done a recall on the automatic fifth wheel release there is some kind of valve that goes bad when you hit the brakes hard it opens the jaws a few drivers I know have had this happen to them. That's why UPS has all manual fifth wheels have to pull the pin yourself.

onnnne of our guys lost 2 million safe miles over it

Don't know ??? But trains go faster than 46 mph & don't think bigger mirrors would have helped !

If that had been an ABF trailer, we could have salvaged it and made a ReloCube out of it. Wong, I think that trailer was custom made just for you. It is now 15% of the length of a van. LOL!!!
