Why would someone try to "state a fact" that they do not know about. Not only that... they even decided to go into details about the subject, stating that semi trailers rear axles are not only bolted, but welded also, THEN proceeded to call karlebyrdjr out, trying to correct him.
seen this happen in front of my old job before.........happens more often than u would think.....always seems some idiot forgets to put a pin in .....
in the case in front of my work guy slammed on brakes ..rear locked and truck kept going....left rear axles 120 ft behind trailer...had to use a crane to get it out since the back closed like a tin can around the freight so cudnt unload it..
@orbitofdoom16 yes there is a pin system that allows for adjustment front to rear for different weighted loads.....and in every single case that i have heard of this type of accident is from leaving the front pin out
@orbitofdoom16 The axles of 53foot van trailers are bolted to a sub frame that contains the axles brakes suspension and air tanks. the sub frame is then attached to trailer via a sliding rail system that is usually held in place by 2 to 4 pins. This is done for weight distribution between the truck and trailer. Often times the driver fails to reset the pins after he moves the tandems.
dumbass didnt lock his tandems after moving em lmao

@karlebyrdjr There is no pin that holds the rear axles in, they are bolted, and usually welded.

@orbitofdoom16 99% of tandems on a trailer can be udjusted by pulling pis and sliding the whole axle assembly.
