jeepman, we all have old trailers that are in need of being junked, or some special care. I've gotten a all types to do my route with and I have had those that leaked in multiple spots so you have to checkerboard load your trailer so the freight didnt get wet and I've had doors that broke in the up or in the down position. I dont fault anyone, the mechanics seemed to have their hands tied because they are rushed to get the job done, the dock has to load junk because there are no other empties on the yards to load, I think if the "red house" in cookeville realized how much money is wasted due to freight claims, guys on the hour waiting and searching for empties to go do pickups, down time due to repairs or calling out service trucks and on and on...... they would see that purchasing some new trailers would save $$ in the long run
