On a recent trip to Florida, we stopped for a fill up of gasoline and during the fill up, I noticed that the rear wheel on the left side of the fifth wheel was tilted in at the top compared to the front wheel on the same side. I had never noticed this before and became alarmed thinking there was a wheel bearing problem. Before going back on the interstate, I needed to be sure all was safe and in order. I located Tri City Spring on Google and backed the fifth wheel into a designated spot. Two people came out with a floor jack and lifted the left side of the fifth wheel rear axle so the bearing and lug nuts could be checked. Everything was normal and the manager taking a long look under at the spring shackles confirmed the shackle rubbers were starting to show wear, nothing to be alarmed about but enough to create the condition I saw. Having confirmed there was nothing o worry about, the People insisted on not charging me anything but the peace of mind was priceless. I would highly recommend any travelers, truckers, or even locals to support the efforts and the professionalism that I know this Company is capable of. Once again, thank you, Rick and Lou for the professional service with a personal touch.
