Lowe’s Trailer Repair

05/31/2025

I’ve always tried to do my best at everything I do. I take pride in everything I do that’s for sure. Me as a person, an employer, a friend, a mentor, a father and so on.

3 weeks ago I went to tha local weigh station on the interstate in Mebane to do a repair on a log trailer. They let me do it in the parking lot which was great. DOT put the trailer out of service and not tha truck so tha driver left it. I went after hours to do the repair. It was rather peaceful. No one around to mess with me or look over my shoulder. 6 hrs later I was pulling out to head back to tha shop. They paid with a credit card and everybody was happy. This company is out of VA.

This mornin I get a phone call from their office. (I haven’t ever dealt with this certain guy before) The guy instantly went into cussing me out and telling me I had no idea what I was doing when I repaired their trailer. He “demanded” me to come to their yard in VA and fix what I screwed up or refund their payment. Once he quietened down, I just told him he had one more time to cuss me and I was gonna hang up. Well, I wound up hanging up. 7 phone calls later, the owner calls me. He immediately starts apologizing. (He had no clue what was goin on.) We had a very great conversation and I asked him to get me pictures of where I screwed up. 45 mins later I started getting pics of a recent repair someone else had done. (On the opposite end of the trailer). I told the owner, now crawl up under the tandems and look at the driver side spring hangers. All 3 of them. Then call me back. 20 mins went by and he calls to tell me thank you for doing what you do. I appreciate you and I will handle my employee. He then asked if the next time that trailer was down my way, if I would look at the fifth wheel plate. I paused and just told him, you need to get back up with the company that fixed it in the first place. I just ain’t gonna be caught up in someone else’s mess.

It doesn’t matter how good of a job a man can do. There’s always gonna be someone out there that will try to get over on you.

Here’s to an amazing Memorial Day weekend. All we can do is show our appreciation to the ones that led us to this day. For all of those guys and gals, we are so very thankful.

Been quiet some time since I’ve posted about work being done but we’ve been so busy and I’m not one to think about “Oh lord I’ve got to put this on our page”. However, a dear friend brought us a trailer with a suspension issue. They replaced an axle leaf pack going off the existing part numbers / vin of the trailer. They did the right thing. On the flip side of that, these days with older equipment, you have to do 5 times the research on getting parts. Come to find out, that said original spring leaf pack had been discontinued and an improved pack took its place. Which leads to, if you have an old one, it won’t match the new style. Therefore you have to buy “2”. It’s all a money racket to force people to spend their hard earned money. It’s so ridiculous yet that’s the way the replacement parts go this day and time.

End the end, the customer got his trailer back and it’s ready for the next go round.

Had a customer from Charlotte call and asked if we’d be willing to build them some 300 ton crane boom racks for trailers so they could move some of their cranes on their own. Of course I said yes! I love helping people. Especially people willing to ride hours in order to get to me because they know what they’re gonna get.

Thank you Structual Unlimited, Inc for y’all’s business!!!!

When a customer calls and says, here’s what I want and I’ll send you pics… I tell them I’ll re-draw it and send it back to you cause you failed in art class while being in elementary school. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Here’s to another few sets of crane boom racks for a flatbed. I love those 300 ton cranes!

It’s amazing to me that so many “small” people/companies are going out of their way to try and do for this detrimental storm. It really just warms my heart. To see these “small” companies OR individuals organizing things in order to help these devastated people on the west side of our state, it’s amazing. I honestly didn’t realize there were that many great people left. I personally have brought together (as of today) 7 tractor trailer loads of items ranging from human personal needed items, (including elderly, infant, toddler and middle age) which I am so thankful for. Now to mention the agricultural needs of the western farmers. I have been blessed to fill 3 tractor trailer flat beds with post, wire, hand tools, hay, feed, gloves, I even got a post driver donated which almost made my grown ass cry. With this being said, I’ve not heard nor read of much from the “government” where they are trying to help. Which infuriates me. They can send billions over sees yet when their own country is facing hardship, their offer isn’t very clear.

Point is, it seems like the small people of the state are the ones trying to do everything they can to do their part in helping.

Maybe this devestation will bring this state closer together.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and every one that sees this msg.

It’s amazing to have the amount of people who have reached out to me / us about gathering items for these heartbroken people in need in Western NC. It really just warms my heart. Thank you to each and everyone one of y’all. I’ve spent around 13 hrs on the phone since Sat night. I am so proud to have the clientele and friends that I have. As of right now, we have successfully loaded 3) 53’ dry boxes with much needed items for these people. I am beyond blessed!!!!!!

I never would’ve imagined it would be this hard to try to do something for free! These people in Western NC need help. Seriously. With that being said, I’ve personally reached out to so so many different organizations. It’s almost disappointing. I’ve spent almost all day on and off the phone with people and I’ve gotten no where. Then I called H & H Towing Inc and at least got some much needed info. At this point, all I can do is hope for the best.

I’ve been on the phone with American Red Cross disaster relief for almost 4 hrs. Still on hold. I’ve been trying to make a “contact location that’s capable of receiving 1 or 2 tractor trailer loads of items for stranded individuals, rescue personnel and just plain out EVERYONE. Yet, I can’t get anyone on the phone. I will say, this is NOT the first time my business has done this. We’ve done this 3 times for 3 different detrimental storms. One was in TX. I was blessed to fill 3 tractor trailers and send down there. With that being said, I have to make a “contact location” and an “acceptation location”. Seems like I am failing on this one. I’m about to go to the news channels.

These people in the mountains in NC need help. Whether they want to admit it, they need help. Even the first responders.

God look out for these people. Please.
