I am: you didn't alert he drivers to the problem. They may not have known about it, but you did.

Huh. Thought it was pretty clear that solving the water (clean or otherwise) coming off a trailer in front of you on a sunny day is simply solved by passing...:twofinger

That's just me: once I see something that should be fixed or or someone alerted to I automatically take action. Comes from being a service mechanic for 27 yrs: Once you know something is wrong it's your responsibility to act on it.

Too much "meh" in the world

under what law?
i do not have a badge on me or a red light on my pu truck, saying i can do anything to help/stop/prevent/other,

sure maybe get there eye and then if they stop.
but sure under the "law" only clean water, and feathers off live birds are allowed to legally fall off a truck. a rv?

as a truck driver and a rv owner, it is just bad form to have anything fall, drain, other from your load/trailer/etc.
kinda like the fool revving his motor till the valves float. :wtf

best to drain out both tanks at a proper clean out station. but sad many have messed even that up. dumping oil, other chems, or just fouling up the clean out area.

Who said law? And where did you get the idea I wanted to pull them over? Ever wave to someone to let them know there was something wrong?

What's the big deal: wave at the guy, point to the trailer and hope he understands and checks it out.

I amazes me how some people just don't give a shit about simple courtesies but get completely bent when someone points that out.

And why is this under training?

you had posted it was my responsibility to 'fix" a problem.

sure if my truck/rv i would be keeping a eye on things anyhow.
and as a driver someone in a cage pointing to my rig i just blow them off. i have stopped before and no there was nothing wrong with the truck.
with the company i work for now i would have to explain why i stopped. computer monitor systems. and there is now a threat of getting hijacked.

The "your responsibility" was intended as a generality, not pointed specifically at you - sorry for that, poor syntax on my part. :blush

no problem, many at times misread what i post.
sometimes it is just how we think ver how we type things out...
and how the "other" guy reads and understands it.

have a great Christmas.
