Message:: [QUOTE="Road Jouster, post: 5160533, member: 174941"]I am a SNI company driver and going to convert to IC as soon as I can. I have to ask the same question about trailer heights. One thing  I found is there are a lot of lazy drivers. And ICs too. If an IC truck is running 24.5 wheels (which I've seen) rather than 22.5 wheels, The trailer will be higher than normal as soon as the pads touch the surface. I've seen drivers crank the gear extra revs like they were prepping to slide the 5th wheel rather that uncoupling. I have a newer SNI tractor with dumps and load transfer settings and can sometime still be a pain in the ### - especially when the gear and crank are maintained so well. A worse problem I see is drivers that report a trailer as not having defects when one may.Too lazy and will leave for the next driver to deal with. I report those occurrences, but frankly I doubt anything comes of it.[/QUOTE]
