Dealer Letter #104B

SUBJECT: Trailer Winch Stands

Please note that trailer winch stands are not shipped from the factory assembled to the trailer but are instead packaged in a separate carton that is sent along with the trailer. We have received a few claims for winch stands that were described as "missing in shipment" and think that perhaps these items were either accidentally left on the truck or were received but were still in the unopened cartons when the claims were filed.

Dealers are encouraged to check future trailer shipments carefully before submitting a claim for missing items. Should the winch stand be missing, however, be sure to file a claim and mention specifically that the carton containing the winch stand was not received. Also, for your protection, check all trailer shipments before signing the receiving slip since claims for missing or damaged items cannot be made once the receiving slip is signed.
