    looked pretty good, did you let the air out before you pulled out from the trailer? it looked like the landing gear dropped a lot but could just be the camera angle.

    I don't think Schneider has trucks that can dump the airbags.

    Draped up and drifted out. Know what I'm talking about? Three in the morning, just stashed up my stash spot.

    The new bonus parameters are too complicated. And overspeed is now anything over 60mph. If you cruise control at 62, you are overspeed. I'd be interested to know if any solo drivers are going to actually attempt to get bonus anymore. Seems more logical to just keep the pedal floored.

    Nice backing job.

    Just some points.

    1. You didn't GOAL

    2. You didn't use 3 points of contact when lowering the landing gear.

    3. Don't let an OSR see that video, I would take it down immediately.

    Nope, it's a fact, can't drop the airbags in Schneider trucks.

    LOL, OSR's REALLY hate it when you spin the lever with your finger. I did that in my first annual without thinking and heard about it immediately

    You can dump the airbags on bulk tractors. One thing that's annoying about bulk tractors is there is no trailer hold switch, making it impossible to check your brake lights. We have a switch for the sliding 5th wheel when I don't have a sliding 5th wheel.
