    We are constantly dealing with our freightliners not being able to get the drives under our trailers. I know they make wedges to add on to the chassis to increase the lift when coupling so that the trailer clears the drives, but I have no idea what they're called or where to get them. Can anyone help?

    Most often, just get a local welding shop to fab some up. Find a shop that works on trucks, a heavy-duty repair/body shop, or even a truck wrecker.

    Yeah, most of the rgn guys have those. Shouldn't be terribly difficult for someone to fabricate.
