    We should start a new club. JTOG. Janky Truck Owners Group. We can host our own truck shows only allowing POS trucks to enter. We can have our own calendar. Select one truck for “Bucket of the Month” each month.

    Don’t set your tractor brakes when you park, just the trailer. When the air comes out of the trailer and it drops it just pushes the tractor forward instead of shoving it against locked brakes.

    I'm finding it real hard to give any straight answer on this thread but yeah, Volvos do this too and yeah, it's kind of annoying.

    It always seems to happen just as your drifting off to sleep. Add a janky sloppy fifth wheel. BAM!!!! WTF??

    Scared the hell out of me when I first started driving. Thought someone hit me in the middle of the night. Ha Ha

    I would think that the jerking would be happening when you are turned on, and as far as getting rear-ended... I suppose that's just a lifestyle choice.
