Trailers are extremely monocoque[sic?]. Everything on that structure depends on everything else. A crack or damage from a tree limb that deforms the top rail can weaken the entire structure. Maybe add the repetitive motion of a flatspot on a wheel (maybe) that has just the right harmonics to get that trailer flexing repeatedly and with ever-increasing amplitude and presto- a total loss. Knowing a little about Schneider, I would expect to see huge rolls of paper in there; how will they get'em out?
