Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

@rickybobby as soon as you asked on his thread if he "got banned" the mods locked his thread following that comment.
I think that's a clue.

Along with his profile shows up as...




Another one bits the dust.
Shame, I thought he was a good guy and entertaining.

 

How the he'll do you get perma-banned like that? I've got into some scrapes several times over the years here, but am still here(not challenging anyone lol)
That sucks, I liked him

 

I now a certain Marine who is banned..

 

Lol yeah him...hewhoshallnotbename and since ethos is now a staff member he's watching us

 

Have you ever forgot to lower the landing gear before dropping? That feeling when you hear it hit the frame and wondering why it's so low. Thanks to Schneider training I always pull forward till the 5th wheel plate hits, then move on.

 

Or see if the trailer slides. Last winter we dropped on an incline. I knew the trailer would lean once dropped so I had my trainee leave enough space and give a few extra cranks on the landing gear before pulling out. We pulled out and I had him get out and look at the angle. Not bad, but noticible and we were talking about the importance of looking up and down, not just left, right, front and back when the trailer started sliding to the right. Craziest thing I ever saw. Hopped back in and decoupled quick before it made contact (had to stop and crank the landing gear down some more to get under). Yard guy came out and asked what was up. Guy didn't believe me until I showed him the drag marks in the ice.

 

In other news my 5 year old coat has lost its water resistance. Has anyone had any luck.with scotch guard or rustoleom water proffing sprays on jackets?
