Past Present and in Between in Pictures (Part 2)

Some of our trailers have bumpers that are about 20cms further back from the back doors some are underslung we have hydraulic pipes that are routed to connect under the trailer near the fifth wheel there’s little room between the cab and trailer so split coupling / uncoupling everytime. We have some yards that are tight and uneven so sharp turns cause damage to the back of the cab or virtually wipe out the suzies. All this can be avoided by a relaxation of regulations which won’t happen .Put a Moffatt on the back and the regs go out the window.Extend a trailer to 50ft and it’s all ok .I bet there’s a big percentage of artics on the road that are overlength and will never be noticed.They don’t even check length on the m.o.t so how do you monitor it when changing trailers every day. How drivers picking up trailers from the docks go on is bewildering. Can you imagine a driver ringing his boss saying i cant pick this trailer up its 20cm too long overall
