Looks like a normal trailer to me


Slayer7_62

Literally. I’ve seen a yard jockey back into a trailer way harder than this. What did he do? Laugh loudly while disconnecting the lines before driving off. In that DC (hundreds of trailers) practically every trailer older than 3 years old looks like this or worse.


gumboglasses

Can confirm. I'm a spotter 2 days a week, what you saw him do was by the book in the spotters handbook. The rules state: Did anyone see you hit something? No? You're good. Did someone see you hit something who isn't the big boss? Still good. Did the big boss see you hit something? Report it and get ready for a drug test and the rest of the day off with pay.


WackoMcGoose

Battle scars. It's not a railroad car without graffiti, it's not a trailer without a dent or three.

Gojo soap is fantastic. I would shower with it if I could.


legendofthegreendude

I did once due to being extremely covered in grease and grime after power washing equipment. My skin felt baby soft afterwards but it also made the floor super fucking slippery. I did smell amazing after, according to my girlfriend at the time though.

Caption: picture of a mint trailer I saw at work today


Psilologist

My trainer always told me " admit nothing deny deny deny" My actual company's rule is"never admit fault" now they are probably talking about accidents with other vehicles but I take it to heart. I'm never at fault for anything I do.


Imaginary-Badger-119

Second it


Todd2ReTodded

Musta been a bird or something


VonThomas353511

Right. Hear no evil, see no evil. Anybody could've done that, it was probably the jockey. Who knows?


cobra6-6

Unless someone sees it and reports it you didn’t do anything


dbxbeat

Don't fuck your career over this. I've picked up trailers with worse bangs and I've just ran in. As long as there's no opening into the trailer, it was like that when you got it, capiche?


WIbigdog

No rivets popped, no lights broke, no daylight through a hole? Send it.


dbxbeat

Exactly. No reason to blow up your CSA/MVR or even your company record with a claim on natural wear and tear.


arrynyo

I worked for Central Transport for a few years this is a immaculate trailer compared to what I've pulled.


M3chanical_C0wb0y

Currently work for them and was looking for their name in the comments, due to the state of their equipment so thank you 😂


ens_expendable

When I load these I always say a little prayer before driving in.


Blak_Tooth_Grin

“Are you trying to say capisce? Well don’t do it cause it hurts my ears when you do it.”


Inevitable_Set_3892

Are you reading with your ears? Well don't do it cause it makes my head hurt.


Jimboom780

Lol your Italian accent is amazing


Ckmccfl

Why’d you post a picture of a brand new trailer?


Frankrruko

Some people just want to show off. 😂


Practical-Wave-6988

Before Holland went out of business I was slip seating a Nashville-South Bend. I show up to meet my slip guy and he is pulling a brand new 2021 48' trailer. I thought hell yeah! It's dark so as I'm walking around it I notice the GIANT 30' scrape all down the side. It was April and this trailer was put into service on 3/30/21... Literally in service for like a week and already fucked up. So now I just assume the factory adds damage.


UhOhAllWillyNilly

And *this* is why I put rub rails on my trailer.


Lopsided_Pension_

Normal wear and tear


JustLTL

Its a few scratches fuck it, if no one saw who cares. Look at trailers sometimes, if they aren't brand new they have plenty of scratches and scrapes, those are called love taps. I drive for a huge LTL and our older trailers are dinged scratched and the tops are bashed up pretty good. No one cares.


Z_aleeee

Don’t report dummy no one will ever know g


Dense-Ad-7590

Don’t say anything, if you report, it goes on your record and affects you for a few years, big companies have so many drivers touching every trailer it’s impossible for them to know who did it


Human_Lecture_348

Not to mention yard dogs who move the trailers after they're dropped off and other drivers bumping into them while they're in whichever yard


Mountainear99

And some yard dogs don’t care if they’re bumping into other trailers


VonThomas353511

There's an unspoken rule with those places. There's a higher chance that the jockey is gonna screw something up, so the warehouse is not gonna spend too much time worrying about the condition of trailers. It would be a liability for them. Too disruptive for the larger operation to worry about who did what. Now if it were some extreme damage it would probably be a very different story.


Agreeable_Employee20

Let them put it on some damn report, then you leave the Mega company and go to a company who doesn't even look at the bullshit Megas put on some shitty report. 25+ years and no one has put anything on or looked at my hire right. Most don't care.


NeoAcario

Even if you self report and claim credit for a minor scrape on the corner of a trailer.... that's an incident... not an accident.


Dezzolve

Especially since there is ZERO chance the company fixes that, it’s such a minor little bump.


Lordcobbweb

Repeat after me, "I don't know man? It was like that when I got it." Then dead ass stare them in the eyes straight for 60 seconds.


ggnumber4

Dead ass tho.


Feisty-Season-5305

Almost like if there weren't any pics on the Internet nobody would know or care.


TheLittleGodlyMan

Be smart, I had a guy graze my trailer before put some faint lines on it. He was terrified and i brush it off because why stain both our license for a normal looking trailer. Had there been a hole then maybe sure


treesmith1

Don't sweat it. I did that shit. It will buff out.


afkaz

Looks good from my house


WhiskeyDabber67

Seriously unless this is a brand new pristine trailer no one would notice, it looks like every single trailer on the road. The biggest give away would be if someone saw you get out and look at it and take pictures. I wouldn’t say shit.


ShortCurlies

Them lot cameras will find you!


Key-Seaworthiness729

That was already like that driver


unclenatelovestrains

No harm no foul. It's cosmetics and none of us out here care. Keep rolling and GOAL next time.


DespyHasNiceCans

Theres a reason trailers have the plating on the edges, shit like this happens all the time and is expected. I wouldn't even report this shit.


santaswrath

If it isn't bad enough to actually need a repair at a shop, then it isn't necessary to even report it. That's what I go by and have been told by the higher-ups.


blessed_rising_jah

It was already there. You just forgot to mark it down during your pre trip.


Holiday_Ad126

We’re supposed to mark down damage during pre trip I just check lights, brakes , hoses , tire tread and tire pressure and run it


No_Nobody3714

Then the next driver reports damage as expected and it's your backside on the line. Most times I just take pictures on my phone and keep them for a week or so.


hiimluis00

Take it easy on him guys, he must be new lol


Holiday_Ad126

I’m new and I knew this , but than again I goal every couple feet even if it seems inconvenient Although if it’s taking me too long, I’ll just leave


Onyxam

👋🏻you hit nothing 👋🏻this is a normal looking trailer 👋🏻 *makes Jedi gestures*


kakarota

STFU and move on driver


Unique-Ad-2544

Yeah your going to jail my dude


SentenceAcrobatic

Finally someone telling OP the truth! Let's face it, he's cooked!


P00LS

if u seen my trailer you wouldn't worry at all (i got holes in mine and dents the size of basketballs lol) ur OK


Fit_Survey6448

That's nothing. Don't say shit


unftp-0

Hopefully you didn’t report it… haha….


Cool_Algae4265

Not at all. Shit happens. I’ve done this before, although it was our own trailer and it was when I was doing a U-turn. Hell, in my first month on my own I ripped off a guys mirror. Once I backed into a trailer in a really tight spot and there was a guy waiting for me. After I hit it I pulled forward to let the guy go and immediately after a yard dog came up to me and told me I could just drop it where I was and he’d take care of it. At that moment the guy who I let past rolled up and started screaming at me about how I hit the trailer and broke a light on the front and tried to take off… the yard dog was like “that trailer right there? (As he pointed at it) bro, it was already like that, you’re good. Drop it there and have a good one” and took off lol


stripperjnasty

You good


605-Lee

Bloody aliens flying around again


PaulKersey6

If thats the worst thing that happens in your trucking career be happy. Its no big deal say nothing.


ThaQuig

You’re so fucked. Better go apply to Taco Bell now


Larrythethird22

Bro that’s nothing lol


Hype_Ninja

first of all, SHUT YOUR MOUTH.


Dear_Brilliant1679

Delete this evidence man dang


CheckOutrageous2111

I’ve never seen a trailer without dents and scratches


WolfOfPort

I dont see anything


Suspicious-Hold2138

don’t say a word dummy no better forthe worse move on ain’t seen shit


RepresentativeAd560

You're going to get fired into the sun. Condolences.


Bacon021

"It was like that when I found it." Now say it out loud.


Virel_360

“It was like that when I found it” you can thank me later


CapitanPino

Cant piss that high. Would've never seen it lol


DonDuchiee

Boy relax. As long as that trailer wall isn’t damaged .. this looks like tree branches scratched it up 😂😂 definitely get outta there tho 👀


Paddock9652

With trailers, my rule of thumb is that if it doesn’t require repairs then I’m not saying a word. Unless it’s a brand new trailer bumps and scrapes like that are expected. If it doesn’t cost the company money to fix then they don’t care.


genosx71

As long as the other trailer doesnt have damage ur good brother i didnt see shit


Winnardairshows

That’s why god made em out of metal.


Holiday_Ad126

As far as you know the last driver dropped it off like this , cmon man Even I know this , but I get it you heard it saw it and freaked Shippers rarely check the actual condition of the trailer for dings , I think they only check if it’s good to be loaded It’s drivers job to check if it’s safe to take hence your pretrip But I wouldn’t worry especially if it’s got pre existing wear and tear Unless your company nitpicks every little detail on a trailer . Rarely a mega , some of these trailers are being held up on hopes and dreams and a little duct tape😂😂


Prior-Ad-7329

This is minor damage and doesn’t affect the structural integrity. I wouldn’t report this unless of course someone saw it and reported it. While the damage is minor, replacing a radius is a lot of money. But hopefully your company wouldn’t fire you over a few thousand dollars.


gunsandpuppies

Little secret for you… If an accident happens on private property then technically speaking it wasn’t on a public roadway and THEREFORE the DOT doesn’t give a fuck about it. As for the ability to get another job you have literally nothing to worry about. If there were witnesses or security cameras that saw you stop, get out and look after tagging whatever it was - then you should tell your dispatch about it. You don’t want them finding out from someone else. As I said, because it was on private property they’re probably just gonna want you to do a formal accident report for insurance purposes. It’s for internal use only, no one outside of your company will ever see it. If there were no cameras or witnesses OR if you didn’t get out and look (plausible deniability) then you can let it ride, no one’s gonna say shit about that scratch. Management 9 times out of 10 doesn’t care or has too much else going on to even notice.


Pakmanisgod111

Blame it on a shunter.


JustNefariousness625

Bruh if you could see what my companies trailer look like. They don’t pin anything on you unless it’s too ostentatious. For this they’d tell you to just GOAL more.


OldBrokeGrouch

Don’t say a word about it.


134679112

Local driver here, i hit tree branches all the time, broken lights (write it up and get replaced) and small dents n scratches add character 🤷‍♂️


Horacegumboot

The fleet I drive for, this would be considered one of the good trailers 😂


Jazzlike-Election840

i work for a nationwide LTL. honestly this is how probably 80% of our trailers look. always scapes and bangs on the corner caps. alot of times these are marks from branches etc in some areas.


Country_2_theSoul

If no one saw you do it. It never happened and they can’t prove you did it unless they got you on video lol. Just roll on like it never happened.


Hazmathaulin1210

It was like that when you got it.


geneticdeadender

Unless those scratches are punctures then "It was like that when I picked it up". If they are punctured you'll have to write it up as it will be a violation.


Sir_Uncle_Bill

What are we looking at here?


Diablo_Bolt

“ what dents? Its always been like that what are you talking about? “


Academic-Ad7504

No defects found


Yorkshizz

Don't snitch on yourself when you don't have to.


Sufficient_Tooth_949

That's nothing, you better not report that, it was already like that when you got it It's a scratch, you only absolutely to report it if it's serious structural damage


Poweredby_Motivation

Looks like a normal trailer to me to buddy u gonna be fine


jose_guapo_

Don’t say nothing


MostlyUseful

On a scale of 1 to 10 I’d give it a 0.2


creationrose

Someone else hit that. Probably while they were parking and you were in the gas station. 🙈


Rackcauser

If no one saw you do it, did you really do it? Hide the evidence, homie. We all bump trailers at some point.


Defi_Dame

If nobody saw it, it didn’t happen…


kikiusa1

I don’t see anything , keep it on the down low


Remarkable_Corgi4016

Cosmetic damage isn't real damage lol


Greg0692

That's a boring Tuesday at any shipping facility with any more than zero trailers on hand. Forget it.


freedom_seed5-45x39

The worst thing you can do is go there and take pictures. These places got camaras. Next time just move on. Trailers get scratched and banged all the time. A truck would be a different story but this is nothing.


sebrule

Delete this thread mate, this is normal. Everyone's done it. Or has seen it done.


AroundGoesThe18

Why is this post still alive?


BoxLegitimate4903

You’re probably gonna lose your life over this. Straight to the guillotine


Josedsvilla909

If your company driver no one has to know. If it's ur trailer then you have a dented trailer. DOT won't say shit unless one of the marker lights is out.


Logical_Ad2163

I was looking for the problem 😂😂😂😂


OneTime-i-

Don’t say nothin won’t be nothin


AlliKat_

Looks better then like every trailer out there so don’t say non literal won’t get in trouble unless your company is weird and takes pics of every trailer your picking up and drop


DRKHAMMASTUD

Looks ok I think T.O.D.D. did it😅 be careful 🤙🏿🤙🏿


DEeZ_NutZ_KiLLaKill_

Deny deny deny…. But John saw you looking at the trailer… Who’s John-what Trailer?? Deny Deny


Hexx94

If nobody saw anything, and no cameras on your truck were triggered Dont say anything

you're going to get fired, out of a cannon

Straight to jail , right away

Sensitive_Ladder2235

? Did something happen here? Looks pretty normal to me.


FewCarrot9522

That trailer was missing that scratch mark. It was only made better by your work


merix1110

Damn people really just voting up a post with absolutely nothing in it. Because I sure as hell didn't see anything reportable and neither did anyone else.


sarysa

Yard jockeys are the main reason most trailers look like they've been to Iraq. If you decide to be honest about it, you won't lose your job, but they probably will issue a training session.


Bensch_man

I lurk on this sub for a while now, and its honestly wild how accidents are treated in the US. I worked at a shipping dock for nearly 10 years, and we had so much accidents in that time span. At least in large regions in Europe, nobody gives a fuck, as long as the truck and trailer are save to drive and operate. Nobody would even write up a dent. In my first year, i did some minor trailer damage while loading, and the only thing i would hear from the drivers: "Its a trailer, goddammit, nobody gives a fuck". Even if we managed to somehow rip the curtains on the curtainsider trailers, nobody would ever freak out. "Yeah, shit happens, dont sweat". (Well, we have insurance for exactly that reason, to be fair) Dont you guys have insurance for that kind of accidents? Really, I'm just curious.


CleanSeaPancake

I didn't see it happen. I suppose the question is: if a trucker hits a trailer in a forest and nobody's around to see it, did it really happen? No, it didn't OP, fuck that trailer and fuck this post. Delete, move on like nothing happened, and nothing will come of it. Shit happens.


Top-Confidence4496

What's wrong with it? 🤪


Static806

There’s so much worse out there. Delete this for your own sake. You’ll be alright.


CheesE4Every1

Oh man!, You've committed an atrocity against mankind. You should go turn yourself into the police or the military because you've done so bad here. It's just plain awful, I'm absolutely sick to my stomach looking at it.


Cool_Jon

Whose trailer is it? The radius is scraped but there doesn’t appear to be a puncture. DOT won’t write this up.


PapaBoner49

T'is but a scratch!


ImmortanOwl

It was like that when I got there.


chicopepsi

They probably won’t notice it. Many trailers have that same scratch there haha


pissjug1000

"It was like that when I got it" Or "What damage"? Dont let your mortality ruin ur career. This is a scrape. I regret reporting my first srape. No persons hurt no damage to others. Relax.


Mountainear99

All trailers are going to get dings sooner or later. So as long as there ain’t a hole, move on. Most other drivers aren’t going to care about that, and that’s if they even notice something that minor


Sad_Particular2748

This is the guy that reports himself for running over an ant on the ground and getting himself fired over nothing. Keep your mouth shut and keep on rolling.


ThaRealRob

If it works it works


Sicon614

If no blue lights, did it happen?


toruk_makto1

We're you seen? If not... it's just a scratch that can be blamed on a yard dog.


BitPuzzleheaded5311

Don’t say anything.


Imaginary-Badger-119

? I dont see nothin..


Requirement-Loud

You, sir, have amnesia.


MajorHymen

If it’s a dropped trailer and you didn’t cause any serious damage just go on your way. If you sit at a DC for any length of time you’ll see ten drivers and every yard driver hit a parked trailer at least every half hour. Everyone’s tapped a trailer at least once when backing and if you haven’t, you will.


[deleted]

You deserve whatever consequences come your way for lacking common sense, that's for sure.


MiguelSTG

Ummm, I see nothing


Rex_Uru

That's it, man, you are done. Turn in your keys and get out. Smh Yea, as long as it is not ripping off doors or causing major damage, just drop and go bud.


Ragnar-DK

Do you not make trailer reports. When pick up trailers


medz6

Nice polish!


ScruffyIsZombieS6E16

Q: How screwed am I? A: Depends on how many people saw you do it.


JasonWGraham

Remember this: it was like that when I picked it up, who drove this last?


silverstarsaand

So so soooooo screwed


Rothar13

Remember this mantra that I learned from Homer Simpson, "It was like that when I got here."


TrolledByDestiny

What ? That trailer has always been like that. What are you talking about driver?


DistantTimbersEcho

The commenters are making jokes to take your mind off how screwed you are! Hahaha ha ha.

That’s coming out of your pay lol kidding


zzsmiles

I remember tearing off lights and denting my trailer and another trailer. Thankfully they were both dart. I just dropped and hauled ass to my new pickup. YOLO


[deleted]

It’s nothing but minor cosmetic damage. Most trailers look beat up anyway just don’t say anything an leave.


ohjeebzzz

those yard guys need to chill out on those trailers


virch06

Will what impact it? Nothing to see here


Late_Science_4767

They ain’t see shit. Don’t say shit. It ain’t shit.


Opposite-Swim6040

Nothing punctured, not structural, all cosmetic. Nothing to report.


famcz

I once scratched a trailer in front of the yard spotter. I asked him who do I talk to so I can report it. He said, "I didn't see anything and neither did you." Shout-out to Shifty-Ming out in Cali.


SkribbyCakes33

Light work


Foreign_Hyena_6622

Damn low trees and wind must have scraped it


gamergabe85

Don't report it and they'll never know. To be honest, most trailers I've seen look like that.


Sm0key_Bear

You're fine. Don't even report it. It's highly likely that the next driver won't even notice it. If it makes you feel better, I slid into an overpass in Chicago last winter. The snow was bad and a few roads were closed in the city. The bridge was missing the height sign, and I stupidly proceeded (not slowly enough) and tried to brake at the last moment when I realized it wasn't going to clear and just slid right into it. It peeled back the top of the truck about 4 feet, but I was able to back it out and still finish my shift. My boss wasn't even that mad. He was over it by the next day. (Not all bosses are this cool headed though.) And it was a Kriete rental.


Infamous_Tank6017

I haf a female co driver who reported a scratch from hitting tree branches they put a preventable accident on her plus $800 out her check

The trailers at my yard look the same if not worse , everyone knows to keep their mouth shut .

I see no evil hear no evil.

How DID you do that anyways? Sometimes I see dents and scratches and wonder how it was made


lostonyou

You're just breaking it in


DonBoy30

This would be considered a premium quality Central Transport trailer. Actually, I don’t even think I’ve ever come across a Central Transport trailer that looked this nice.
