What should I do today if my trailer tongue cracked on the road?
Do not keep hauling the load on the cracked tongue. Park somewhere safe, unload if you can, and call (918) 303-0746 to reach a local pro. Tell them the location, the trailer type and whether the crack is through the full tongue or only partway.
Is it safe to weld a cracked trailer tongue?
A properly done weld can restore a cracked tongue, but the repair has to be sound. Ask the pro whether the crack needs to be ground out and prepped before welding. Weather matters too: Tulsa's normal November rainfall is 2.66 inches, so wet conditions may delay on-site work.
What should I check when hiring a mobile welder?
Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before work starts. In Oklahoma, welders are licensed after passing a weld test given by a state-certified weld test inspector at a state-certified facility. You can verify active licenses on the Oklahoma Department of Labor's public license verification page.
Does a welder need special education to work in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma says there are no specific educational requirements for welder certification. A working knowledge of the occupation is necessary, and the state licence is issued after the weld test is passed.
