    This is an incorrect statement. We have some 2013 Peterbilts and Freightliners, none of which have an in-cab 5th wheel release button.

    I can drop and be out from under a trailer in about 90 seconds flat.
    Fire takes a bit to totally engulf a truck.

    In reality usually when the truck catches on fire I mean a real fire the extinguisher is kinda a joke might help on realativly small fires but by the time your trailer catches your screwed
