Am I in over my head?

I would bet you would never have to touch a load working for Central or less than one in 100 anyways. (If even that.) Hooking and un-hooking are not a big deal at all....unless some jack hole drops it to low to get under and its loaded. Obesity in this industry is not only from the food, its from the lack of real labor.

 

Hey Acer if all goes well I should be in your class

 

I have yet to find a trailer that was too low. Now too frickin HIGH? Yes. Seemed like 4 out of 5 hook loads I had to get out and crank down 50-100 cranks in low gear just to hit my fifth wheel. Nice.

The instructions on dropping a trailer elsewhere on this site seem to be lost on the masses.

Please! Leave an inch or two under the landing gear when you drop an empty! Drop your bags and pull out. It's simple. Really.

Thank you, from the next driver picking up the load in your dropped empty.

 

Had one that was dropped in a gravel paved yard on ice. Warmed up, ice melted and cavitated under the sand feet, dropped the trailer. Couldn't get under it even after lowering my bags ... had to manually crank until I could get it high enough to slip under it.

 

I envy you. I have to crank them all up it seems like but I have tall 24.5's and it can be hell hooking up to trailers that were dropped like that with low 22.5's.
