While dropping the trailer off for a bearing repack, I needed to put my chocks under the trailer. Normally, when I drop my trailer off for service I ask to use wood blocks at the service station. Due to the number of trailers they handle and that they are often moving the trailers around the chocks and block for the front tongue often get lost. This time I was running late for my diesel emissions test and didn’t have time to request wood blocks so I left my chocks under the tires.
This time the service station did a great job keeping the chocks with the trailer. However, when they were moving the trailer there was a miscommunication with the team and they accidently rolled the trailer over the chocks. This resulted in the chocks being run over one time too many.
I would like to say this was the first time the chocks have been run over, but they were already deformed from forgetting to remove the chocks a couple if times before. The service stations employee was very apologetic and wanted to get me a new set of chocks, but especially since this wasn’t the first time it was not necessary. I was just pleased that he told me about the incident.
While there are many different chocks out there, I stick with the Camco Chocks without the rope. These two chocks allow me the move the chocks into the correct position either on the same side or opposite sides of the trailer. They are lighter weight and cheaper than the heavier duty chocks. So when they get lost at service stations or possible run over again, they are easy to replace.
