How do you guys drive so close to the ground

...i was running car carrier for 7 years ...got used to being careful

 

Some have been hit by traines, they got hung up on the tracks. The Drivers I run with are very good.

 

My question is, when you drive a truck that’s so low to the ground with all the trailer fairings and fairings around the semi drive wheels, how do you grease the thing? The only possible explanation I can come up with, is going to the back of the trailer and sliding the entire length of the trailer and truck on your belly.

Ok, seriously I don’t suppose those trucks ever get greased.

 

I remember a coworker years ago telling me about doing a clutch on a car carrier. Had to put the old clutch on a creeper and roll it out the back of the truck, then bring the new one back up the same way. Sounds horrible. I think a pit would be essential for those types of trucks.

 

On my truck exhaust and tool box on pass side had to be removed for transmission replacement

 

If you have i thought that you might not make it - you better not try it

Nope most fleet trucks have just about everything sealed. They are lucky to get greased every 60k.
How do you do a proper Pre trip with all that crap in the way
