    Works better than having it gooped up all over the place and then immediately getting scraped off onto your cat walk when you back under your first trailer.
    Looks good to me

    If you ever quit trucking you can always get a job at a bakery frosting cakes..lol
    I don't mean to Criticize your work but I only grease the back half of the plate cause when I slide under my trailer the trailer will push the grease to the front 1/2 and its not as bad of mess .. that just me
    I'am sure somebody will chime in about how I've been doing it wrong all these years..lol

    I lower my bags and back most of the way under with no contact. Then raise up and hook it. Works most of the time.

    We usually get a small bucket and use a paint stick to apply a thin coat, leave the air down until it’s like 2” off the king pin then inflated and hit the pin

    At Ozark’s main terminal they had a grease drum at the fuel island with a long handle scrub brush that had lived past its useful life. Acted as a grease spatula.

    A few weeks ago I loaded a new tube in my battery gun and forgot to pull the metal lid off. That sure made a mess.
