In Cab Release Fifth Wheel Lock??

You must work with your sleeves rolled up to the elbow

 

Well, as much as I can appreciate the flattery, I'm quite ordinary.

Nope, don't do that, either. Is that really a thing, getting grease on your clothes pulling a fifth wheel? I've just never had that problem, and I've never used a fifth wheel puller (although I do use one now if I have to drop a trailer in order to bring the power unit into the shop). I just don't get it.

 

heck anything can go wrong, the manual fifth wheel handle could even break off, I just haven't seen one that didn't have the handle.

 

I agree with you.

I don't get the point in it. I already have to roll down the landing gear, unhook the airlines and pigtail, and pulling the release handle is the easiest part and I can visually inspect it immediately after pulling the release.
