Thanks.
But that crap can happen. We have all had days like that. It sucks.D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
Does anyone really have enough warm pee to free both sides?
And with the frigid temps, by the time you went around to the other side the first would be frozen solid again.D.Tibbitt, FlaSwampRat and Fold_Moiler Thank this. -
Dude, just wait at the bathroom and round up a group of dudes to pee on your landing gear. Nothing weird about that...
D.Tibbitt, InTooDeep, bryan21384 and 3 others Thank this. -

So the landing gear feet are frozen to the ground and won't crank up or not?
I find frozen or sticky trailer brakes release best by rolling backwards, not forwards. Supply air and WAIT. Sometimes I supply air/dump the air a few times. But when I see the trailer tires are just sliding, not rolling, I stop and roll in reverse to free them.D.Tibbitt and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
Told a guy to use a hammer. Checked on him 20 minutes later. He was having a hard time using just his carpenter hammer.
I gave him my 4 lbs sledgehammer with a short handle. Success in only two hits.
Sometimes many hits are required.D.Tibbitt, starmac, Moosetek13 and 2 others Thank this. -
So I've probably done some inconsiderate things when I was a p&d driver and I'm getting payback for them. This happened to me twice today.
Just realized I put this in the wrong spot....here ya go everyone in this thread...I'm getting payback for being a douchebag lolLast edited: Nov 15, 2019
