    Just proves that a CDL is about meaningless.
    Read what rule #2 says in the CDL possession requirements section.

    Well heel I'd hate to ask what no.1 is if no.2 is so basic.

    I’ll be dead honest with you.

    I consider myself above stupid level - but my mind works like flip flop guy.

    The little signs “ Raise trailer - Lower trailer” confuses the tar out of me. Always has.

    Raise legs, raise trailer, blah blah blah.

    Working LTL I switched trailers often. I just learned resistance and watched movement. Memorized it.


    Pulling 5th wheel.

    Still remember the first time one wouldn’t release. A guy I asked explained . . .

    “You wouldn’t want the jaws to release while pulling it , right?

    “No sir “

    “So, back into it a little to release the pressure, with the trailer brakes set, then set the tractor brakes”

    “Aaaaaah. Thanks! Can I buy you coffee? “

    “ I’m good - be safe out there kid”.


    Not all our brains work the same.
