<p>[QUOTE=&quot;miss elvee, post: 4460682, member: 103143&quot;]When I train new folks I tell them to remember &quot;5 is the magic number&quot;. Run 5 mph below the speed you would run a 53&#039; at. Crappy weather? 55 in a full trailer - 50 in pups. Etc.</p><p>Steer smooth. Brake evenly. Easy does it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hooking: </p><p>Back your dolly in front of the LIGHT trailer. Drop it. Go grab your lead trailer. Hook up as normal making sure the pass thru valves are closed. Back in front of dolly. Hook the dolly on the pintle hook. Connect the safety chains. Air up the dolly and release the dolly brake. Make sure the dolly pass thru glad hands are connected on the blanks so the air won&#039;t bleed out. Back the front trailer/dolly under the rear trailer. Tug test and check the kingpin like normal. Hook up air and electric from the dolly. Check rear pass thru valves on last trailer. Make sure they are closed and sealed.</p><p><br /></p><p>PTI like normal.</p><p>Common problems are ABS and dolly jaws not properly closing.&nbsp; You can check the jaws for freezing or excess grease, but the springs can also wear out. Double-triple check both kingpins, the pintle lock and both safety chains. Tug test. Then do it again before you leave the gate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
