What is wrong with this picture?

[Engineer]

My wife figured it out right away and she never went with me when I pulled vans, she only went with me in my flatbed days.

Anyone?

the plate that goes in the bottom left hand corner plate holder is missing? if i am not mistaken it identifies the hazards contained in the unit.

my only guess

I thought of that too but if it has no hazardous materials on board I believe you don't need a hazard label.

is it missing a hows my driving sticker?

Iirc the plate in the lower left identifying hazards is required to have something there stating non-hazardous if there are no hazardous products on board.

Well that blows holes in my theory.

Here is a little hint:

The problem isn't with the load or anything associated with what could be inside the trailer. The problem is something that would indicate that there is a rookie hand on the other end of the trailer.

Federal law was changed a few years ago that forbids the "Drive Safely" placard in the placard holder. The reason being is the idea that when responding to an accident the "Drive Safely" placard could misidentify the load to first responders and law enforcement. The new law only allows identification of haz-mat when a hazardous substance is present in a quantity that is sufficient to require placards.

Basically the new directive is intended to communicate "no placard, no haz-mat".

does it have to do with the locks?

It very well could.

Depending on your screen resolution you may not be able to see that one is a seal and the other is a padlock.

[travisr1988]

^ah, my screen resolution must not be good because all I saw there were blurs lol

[LTZ C20]

My screen resolution it's really good but when zoomed in, it's still not clear enough to tell. One door latch has a pad lock and one has a seal? As in weather seal or harbor seal? Haha

They both need to be on the right door then. The left door won't open until the right one does. Would have needed to zoom in to see that though.

i was leaving it for someone else but i think the lock is on the left side and the seal is on the right

[Engineer]

The deal is the shipper's seal is on the right hand door......where it should be. Its presence to the consignee indicates that the load remains untouched since its leaving the shipper. The seal can easily be pulled off with your bare hands. The reason shippers put the seal on the right hand door is because the left hand door can't be opened until the right hand door is opened first.

Placing the lock on the left hand door does not prevent someone from tearing the seal off and opening the right hand door. By doing this you have access to the inside of the trailer. It is pointless to put a padlock on the left hand door.......unless what you are hauling is too large to fit through just one door.

If this driver keeps this practice up sooner or later he will have things stolen.
