Hey, your back door is open...

Recently, I've even seen some boxes with roll-up doors on the side, a sort of alternative to the curtainside. Roll-ups were anywhere between 12 and sixteen feet wide. Of course I've seen sectional barn doors doing the same thing on the side of the truck.

I personally have a roll-up with tuck-away liftgate.

I have to wonder if this thread was intended for the soapbox?

No dave,

That's just your nasty mind at work... :o :o

The title came from a frantic CB call
I overheard while at a truckstop.

I found it funny because it did not in any way
identify which truck it might be..
(turned out to be a "major carrier" rig leaving...)

I must admit, as a new T/T driver,
I did get out and check my trailer's doors... :7 :7
(All was OK... the locks and seals were in place..)

STAY FROSTY ... :+

Just an observation.

Keeping it locked while backing into a Dock is the least of my worries.

Barn doors have larger openings, less expensive to service. Thus both those factors keep more $ and another run in my pocket. So whats the other reason for ROLL UPS? Like I have something to worry about getting stolen, since its the customers freight anyway?

Plus rolls ups are just UGLY.....

One advantage I will give rolls ups, is big winds. Now be carefull with those barn doors.
