[QUOTE="red_eye, post: 1256927, member: 36964"]Nope on all... left excel in parkersburg wv.. was still on rt68..lol...I had only went about 1/2 mile..but it did give me the habit of pushing up on the trolley.. But I know where you are talking about.. we pulled a lot of containers to Chicago rail yards.. But I did drop a container on 90 one time.. king pin plate was rusted thru.. Took out 5 pieces of guard rail and 4 head light pole.. I can tell you.. guard rail is 1000 a section.. 4 head light pole is 25000... My company could have fired my butt.. but the IL dot declared it non preventable ..even though really it should have been my fault.. but I always checked the top side of king pin plate after that.. those thing rust from the top side down... the pin was still locked in the 5th wheel..[/QUOTE]
