So my partner took the truck for repairs and left the reefer at the truck stop. Not the first time he’s done it and I always told him not to be lazy and let the office know and pay them if they need their day’s fee. Well, of course he knows better, and laughed at me, saying they told him before that a day or two isn’t a problem and that they can’t tow it anyways because he puts a lock on the kingpin. Well, guess what, today a manager showed up to the truck stop, walked around and had 24 trailers towed. There was a lot of screaming and yelling going on there today as people were coming back to find their trailers gone.
My partner is currently trying to get the trailer bailed out. We’re out of $542 and I’m pissed beyond measure. I do have a couple of questions. He says he can see our trailer and the lock is still on the kingpin. How can they tow the trailer like that? How do they hook it up? Is there a possibility of causing damage while doing so? I want him to inspect every inch of the trailer as I just paid $64K for it and it’s about a month old. Anything specific to watch out for?
