How many of you have dropped a trailer?

Never, I'm obsessed with looking before driving after every time I walk away from the truck, no matter how short the time I was gone, no matter where it's parked. Or even if I've just been in the sleeper like at a shipper/reciever.

 

Stop having a pussified work ethic and get ur sorry lazy arse up under there and shine a flashlight at the lock jaw every dam you hook and you'll never drop a trailer again. It's a part of the job and it's not hard so ##'n do it.

 

Sounds like good advice to me.

 

Yea once in my 1st year I forgot to put the landing gear down switching wagons.. Never made that mistake again lol

 

Somebody sounds like a super trucker who never made a mistake.

 

Everyone makes mistakes the difference is not everyone is willing to learn from them because again lazy.

 

Dropped one on my frame once. Went to pull out after hooking, went maybe 4 feet.....BABOOM. Another reason to do things slowly.

Was heavy too. Took a good 15minutes to crank that dude back up.

 

This guy is having a bad morning today. Pulling out from the fuel isle at the loves in Jasper, Tn

 

Mmm-hmm, pi$$ed off someone. They pulled the pin while they were inside. Always check your 5th wheel, kids, when leaving these places.

 

Always do the tug test anytime i stop. Don't trust anyone nowadays
