What do you do if the kingpin jumps your 5th wheel?

After experiencing first-hand how the truck I was driving reacted to the grooving in the pavement, I wouldn't automatically blame a driver. If it weren't for the truck being governed, I might have put it in the ditch. ####, that was scary as heck! Suddenly feels like the steers are on ice, and I start swerving back and forth. Thought I had blown a tire.

 

What fun is a mistake if you can't repeat it?

 

I did it once one night. Tilted it opposite way and stuck a soda can under to keep level and pulled out easy.

 

I've seen trailers with two holes in the front where somebody stabbed the 5th wheel through the front the trailer.

This reminds me of a guy that was parking on our lot, making it hard for our trucks to get in and out. I ran him off and told him not to park there (our private property) but about a week latter he dropped his trailer in the same spot. I went out there and ran his landing gear all the way down (loaded). Needless to say, he didn't drop a trailer there anymore.

 

Lol did the same the other night but used a crow bar to keep it level and dropped the bags.
