Starting at Crete 2/18/26

That's just a Freightliner being a Freightliner. Absolutely no subtly. Mine's nickname is Jimmy Stewart because it stutters and hops like Jimmy Stewart on a pogo stick...or else it just says F-it and dumps the clutch and launches.

 

Yep, my Freighshaker does much the same.

 

I have heard that turning off the hill start assist helps with that issue.

 

The Freightliner I drive does the same thing.

 

I think I’m going to start cranking the trailer up if it has too much weight on the 5th wheel getting under.
This last time it barely went under,built up a massive amount of torque and lunged back.I had to slam on the brakes which knocked a bunch of stuff off the shelves,and still was trying to go back until I put it in neutral.

 

Dump your air bags and put the prongs of the 5th wheel just underneath the trailer, then air up. It should make it easy to crank the trailer up a bit. Then dump the bags and go again.

 

Wow! So clean that I can't even see it. Or is the the glare that is blinding me?
Ok, it just showed up.
