SAIA | Sticky Placards

[Boltseal]

Any ideas on how to remove those :mad: things. They are thinner this year, and they break when I used a razor blade.

make the dock workers,hostlers, and door supervisors do it its their job not the drivers its company policy lol but dont hold your breath

can of white spray paint works good too lol

when putting on peel back the edge about 1" this seals all 4 edges it will not blow off but can be removed with out a lot of trouble, i know this is not what you asked but if everybody did this we wouldn't be asking this question now.

I like the spray paint idea, but I don't think Saia would be pleased!

Heat it up to soften the glue and plastic. Our shop used a heat gun and plastic putty knife.

use a small blowtorch and a razor blade your shop probably has them on hand
. you will be done in no time.

i ran into this once and just turned some placards around to blank and taped them over the stubborn sticky.

GooGone works good.

Spray a little starting fluid on them, light it and let burn for about 5 seconds, then blow out the fire, they'll peel right off. Won't hurt the trailer, leaves a lttle smoke residue but it'll wash off.

What do you use to light the fluid so you don't get burned?

I use a cigarette lighter, light it at the bottom of the placard.

I hate sticky placards, they should just make solid white placards to cover up sticky placards and when they get thick they can take em to the shop and heat and peel the whole stack off

 

[Demolitionman]

they are handy when you are out of slides and flips. That being said, i think every trailer should have atleast two flips and two slides. What really will **** you off is if some idiot stuck them to the trailer and there are empty slots all around.

Let's check after all the paint has gone byebye.

hey guys this is saia no time for all that stuff gotta make that cut time lol

 

[Boltseal]

Maybe management keeps up with this forum, and will do something about it. The other day it was raining, and I had a trailer with no flips, and busted up slides, and I needed 3 different placards. What can I say, I departed late, and arrived late, minus 4 of the placards.

The only good part is the scale was closed.

Cut time? It's a "suggested depart time" in ATL. I've made my cut only twice in the last 2 weeks. It's always like that for certain ones of us departing there. It's amazing that no one cares about that, but let someone depart GVL late for a valid reason and the TM is getting an earful from Tim P. about it.
