how high does your trailer feet have to be off the ground?

How about those shaggers and jockies that used to just slam trailers down when moving them before they started putting those slow drop levers in them.

 

All the way unless you are an intermodal driver in Chicago...they are exempt from doing anything the right way.

 

Jersey too.... I used to run out of Port Elizabeth. Yeah......

 

Our landing gear doesn't have a crank, just pull pin, slide up or down, replace pin, done. When they start to rust to the inside of the tubes is when I wish we had cranks.

 

Wow driver....If I actually had feelings, you might've just hurt them.....

From my reply to op-

"OP- Crank them up as high as you can (while you're at it, try squirting some grease in them; it's amazing what that stuff does....lol). I would say try to get them at least 10"-12" off the ground if possible. Then, just watch where you drive (ie- avoid potholes, deep humps in road, steep railroad crossings, etc.)

But hey you're right..... I'm just a danged 'ol Nimrod.....

 

Use some elbow grease to crank trailers that are stiff.Whats going to happen otherwise one day your trailer is going to get caught up on something like railroad tracks or even break the landing gear from maybe a huge pothole ,who's going to pay for it,certainly won't be the company.

 

Seems as if the zombie epidemic has even infected R&L.

 

Both my ND & MI CDL state study manuals say crank all the way up & that low slung trailers & car haulers, etc be cautious with because they can still get stuck more easily on train tracks for example due to their lower clearance than regular dry vans.

 

so if i am interpreting that which i am reading correctly,you plan on having multiple commercial driver's licenses hence the study manuals(?) from two different states. and all this time after grandfathering into my cdl i had thought that the reason for the cdl was to prohibit more than one license. you newbies and wannabes are are swift.pun intended.

i actually saw a swift pulling a cr england or the other way around recently.

 

Somebody's gettin their money back.....
