    Well I am truely honestly a truck driver. Very much a true story... If you'll notice I didnt start it out with "DRIVER YOU AINT GONNA BELIEVE THIS"...

    Yeah when I go to pull that pin again I am gonna be "GUN SHY" but in time I will get over that.

    I feel your pain..... no really!
    I too had a shredded labrum.
    Recovery is a long road, and the pain never really goes away, just settles down.
    Best of luck on your recovery.

    YES I am truely and honestly a truck driver... This is a true story. I definitely have the scars, pain and photos of the surgery to prove it. If you'll notice I didnt start it out with "DRIVER YOU AINT GONNA BELIEVE THIS BUT...." LMAO.

    Yeah the next time I pull that pin I am definitely gonna be "GUN SHY" but I will get over that slowly but surely...

    Um read the post again and you will see that I backed into a hole next to another trailer being on the driver side hence 'being between 2 trailers". And I do believe I know how to hook and unhook from my trailer..... thanks anyway...

    well, obviously udon't or u wouldn't be here asking us how to do it right.
    u didn't take the pressure off the king pin b4 u put ur gear down and jammed the lock.

    See like everyone else you read the first post and precieved it in your own way. I was not asking anyone how to do it it right. I was simply asking for a simple answer to a simple question. The landing gear was down, pressure was off of the 5th wheel and King Pin..... Please re read the post and it will make sense.

    Thank you and have a nice and safe day
