the etrack bringer downer :drama:

how about the "back scratcher"? I used one for that the other night, it worked great, cant say it works better for bringing them down or putting them up. I'm 6'6 I do it all by hand. we could call them the "shorty helper", or the "midget tool" :poke: :stir: :dance:

I glad to hear you did not use it to scratch something else ..

Had to do it since this is definitely a new e-track trailer.. Looks like the break line at XNJ Newark, NJ to me.. And I can't quit laughing.... Perhaps the dockworkers need a video regarding weight distribution..lol.. hahahahha.. I literally can't stop laughing at this.. I had a friggin overweight on the drives with like a 14,000 trailer and can only imagine the brain power that loaded this one..lol.. Who loaded this?? are you kidding me??lol...

Can't take too much credit since I got it on my cell.. I'm being told this was actually in Tomah, WI by a few people.. Still looks like the break line at XNJ to me though.. Either way, we need to promote the scientist that loaded this e-track trailer..

Still see a few of them floating around.
 
I predict those E trailers won't last more than a year, guys already are getting hurt and have problems with freight getting jammed lodged ect ect. One problem after another. Like other people have said, it may look good on paper but OPERATIONS don't like these trailers!

has anybody actually mentioned what's loaded in it at the time of the mishap? E trailer or not the only way this is going to happen is with only the first 4 to 6 feet loaded in the nose with weight per foot far exceeding our 1000# rule. Looks more like a trailer was stripped to a headload and moved from the dock. A former XCW driver at another reship awhile ago load 4 filled totes off the dock (docked double-stacked) without paperwork and without commonsense, into the nose of a trailer and the outcome was as pictured here. But, this is the boards and opinions and speculations make for a better catalyst than gasoline does for a match.

Our paycut dollars are being wasted at my sc. One morning a couple of weeks ago at our fac a driver had to go to another trailer. It was late and the only mt left at the door was an e track. So for the sake of getting the freight moving they floor loaded it and sent him on his way. The fos was written up for not utilizing all of the space on an etrack, so now the first order of business is to switch out all etrack mts with regular ones and we aren't allowed to plug any load doors with them the entire night. So now we have a nice shiny row of 15 or so etracks that sit and rot or go all over the ne or midwest empty.
