Any idea what problem is? Running lights fire but not brake lights and it’s only affecting this trailer? I switched trailers today and all was fine.

I’m part of a relay team. I meet another driver in a somewhat remote part of WV. Today he brought down a trailer with both brake lights out. I checked the fuses and all looked good. It seems like it’s an issue with that particular trailer since the other I hauled down worked fine. I call my dispatch and they are telling me just to take it to the nearest Loves. I’ll need to cross 3 state lines with a drive time of about an hour. Of course I’m not thrilled about doing this. Would you demand roadside assistance or drive to nearest facility? Thanks

You’ve got to be a real dirt bag to be doing stuff like that. I had a gas cap stolen a couple weeks ago and came out to be $80.

…If you have a sore back.

Thanks for heads up. Funny, every weigh station I passed today was closed.

Try to get a job as a yard switcher/hostler and gain some experience that way.

Thank you guys for the info. I appreciate it.

I’m part of a relay team and was just sent down a 48ft trailer with 2 axles. The front axle is a lift axle. I’ve never seen one on a 2 axle trailer. The way it’s set up now is when the trailer is in motion, the tire lifts up and once parked it drops down. We are mail carriers and typically run very light trailers. Can anyone shed any light on the best way to use this trailer? Thanks

I think in this situation the same rules apply to commercial vehicles vs non commercial vehicles…

I recently had a brake light that was out. I noticed it was riveted in place. So, I stopped at a Loves and it ended up being a 4 hour repair. I’m guessing I could have just drilled out rivets and replaced with a screw, although I didn’t have a drill on me at the time. My question is are the brake lights universal and why in the world would they be riveted in place? Thanks
