    Looks like someone didnt check their kingpin. Even if you checked when you hooked. Always check when you walked away from your truck or took a break in the sleeper.

    Wonder if he got to the shipper before realizing his trailer is gone? :D

    Somebody is having bad day.

    To me it looks like he dropped the trailer on the shoulder of the entrance ramp for some type of mechanical issue and the passenger side dolly leg wasn't on the pavement which, caused it to sink through...

    Seen a 20' container trailer with container dropped on 440 in the middle Lane going around Little Rock a few months back. Didn't see the truck anywhere.

    Why you under your trailer, you dont need to check that, you might get grease in your hair. Thats Palaide not grease, Dummy. What was that noise, I dont know but we have more power now....... Pepsi Lckd 5th wheel 2.jpg I take a pic of the locking pin in place, more just to double check it .

    I've never cared for Peterbilts locking jaws, its like a parrots beak. Just can't tell, and will even do an extra tug test with them. Just one more thing I really dislike on a Pete. (and yes, I know its not a Pete in the photo, I just like to rag on them)

    Give me a bar across there that I can see is closed in any lighting conditions.
