Hell, I was turned loose with a reefer trailer, without any idea how the reefer worked. Not hard to figure out, but if there had happened to be a problem with that first load...
I actually found another reefer driver at a truck stop, and had him explain it to me.
Dumbest question you've heard...draining air tanks?

If the truck isn't equipped with a drain cord, which isn't likely, you would have to open the valve manually to drain the water. if this is the case, DO NOT get close to the valve when you open it, as the water will shoot out under pressure.
I hope this answer helps.Last edited: Feb 28, 2016

You should never assume that a question is dumb and wait to get it answered. The way we look at it any driver that asked any question about the truck is a driver worth keeping. After awhile you'll see that doing the daily checks and routine inspections will save you money and time even if you are a company driver. You make money by driving and getting paid every mile. So for you to make the money the truck has to be working. Catching a part before it explodes or delays you will save you money.

Laying underneath and figuring it out would have been my first thought.

Well look for the tanks first on my 2011 its under the steps on the driver side but to drain those completely it took 30mins. But just look for the tanks and follow any string coming from. Them.

No water in them -
