I have been in trucking for over 35 years and have never seen so many trailers with broken cross-members as I have in the last few months. Does anyone have any idea what would cause this damage to numerous trailers? none of the drivers have had any blow outs on their tractor tandems that would create flying rubber to wipe out the cross-members. Spotting unit has a very short frame ... could no reach the 4th cross-member to damage it. No damage to fifthwheels or rails to reflect possible interaction with the cross-members. Looking into possible damage done while dropped at other locations. Any ideas?????
