Or you get a driver taught by an unnamed trainer, to extend the landing gear all the way to the ground and then crank it like 18 - 20 more times, then drop your bags and pull out......then it causes that problem for everyone. Especially when it's loaded and your trying to crank it down to tractor height.

How many people hook up to a trailer with the air bags out? Because when i was hooking up a trailer with Mark in safety, im pretty sure he did it with the bags full. I could be wrong...
-
You drop with them deflated.
Hook with them inflated that should help prevent high hooks. -
I must say I love going to the Western region planning area. Another load to the house just because.

Doesnt sound wrong, just have to make sure you stop right when the fifth wheel is under apron. -
Going in deflated keeps you from scraping the grease off the fifth wheel. I don't always do it.
Jake997, Ray Strack and WalterSobchak Thank this. -
But you pointed it out right in your post. You f'ed up. Get out in that mud and crank it lower first.
Or, this would be one of the few occasions to drop the bags. No traction, get under it, then re-inflate, then check. But caution is called for. You back past the front drive, you're going to hit the reefer. -
Ray Strack Thanks this.

And always deflate when pulling out, and pull out gently, or you'll tear the back plate off the tractor. If you tear it off, Randy marks you down for a preventable. If you just bend it, they can notch it with a torch and he lets it slide. Back plate is $400, btw.
Hey, you were just through orientation, what did the insurance gal say was the yearly claim total?Last edited: Dec 6, 2017
