Is the ILWU inspected container chassis next to you on the freeway safe? You don’t know, so stay clear.

Read the ILWU/PMA Letter of Understanding regarding roadability safety inspections.

Letter of Understanding Chassis

The mechanics are not allowed to go under the chassis, which is the only way to visually inspect the brake components on the inside of the dual tires.

If the mechanic can not inspect the brakes, how can he certify the chassis as safe? He can not.

If anyone dies as a result of faulty brakes on a container chassis “inspected” and declared safe under the ILWU/PMA agreement, management should go to jail.
