Need a quick response.........

because I have to be fixed by 2:00 Friday afternoon. I had my box doors open, got distracted by a jackass and caught left box door on an I beam. Need a place to take door off and replace hinges fast.

Anybody know who can provide that service around Sharonville Ohio, Fast? Not Freightliner.

Does a TA shop do that kind of work? I may resort to them.

As you mentioned, forget about truck dealers. You will be waiting a week.
Look up the below listed trailer dealers. They will have hinges ready available with a welder.
These local numbers should be available via the internet of truck stops. They will be cheaper than a dealer.

Wabash
Great Dane
Fruehuef
Maybe Supreme?

There is a large truck repair place on the east side off 275 that can weld, but not likely to have ready hinges.

If towards Indy, KW of Indy has a 24 hour trailer shop in back.

Well I got it to Trailines in West Chester , Ohio and they atleast have the door off. Not that that does much good but I am hopeful they will get it fixed today.

I should have never washed it and polished the wheels. 15 minutes after getting the it all shined up, BAM, tore up the door. Umm um! What luck I have.

You stole my story, that sounds like something I would do. Thanks for the warning one less thing I won't do. I HOPE?

BP, that story is a lot longer and if I told it you would be able to determine who the Jackass is that I refered too.

Truth be known there was a PortOLet, XM Radio and a Hillsboro Trucking driver all involved. However there was only one distracted jackass and that may have been the same jackass that disatracted me. Get the picture yet?
