Wow I bent and broke off a landing gear handle

Obviously your company doesn't maintain landing gear at all. I'd take a set of jost gear ovet a set of Holland gear any day of the week. Jost are harder to crank for about a year...I grease my "no lube" Holland gear weekly and they're still a PITA to crank and I'm the only person who pulls my trailer.

 

Yup the hole. Well i drop and hook cans so someone elses problem when it arrives.

Obviously you like to make dumb assumptions. You also like to talk out of your backside. New jost gear are maintenance free for 5 years just like Holland. They don't last that long though.

 

Dumb assumptions nope clearly you either have drivers who don't know how to hook to trailers and bend the hell out of landing gear so a set of jost gear don't work or they just don't take care of anything.

All gear now days are maintaice free for 5 years and have been since roughly 2010 or so. But again I'm a person who talks out his backside and makes dumb assumptions remember.

If you'd like you can fight with those Holland gear on the junk I pull during the winter. You'll learn the difference between jost and Holland quickly but again what do I know I just swap 10-12 trailers a night 23 days a month from November to February and also have the luxury of maintaining and greasing them when it's below 0. But like you said they're "maintaince free so you don't have to grease them at all. But again what do I know I make dumb assumptions, and talk out my backside I have 0 experience with landing gear. I only swap 230-300 trailers a month in the winter yep 0 experience with landing gear.

Good day sir

 

I made a simple comment that I didn't prefer jost gear. You then thought it necessary to insult my companie's maintenance program. That is your dumb assumption. Sorry to hear you are worked like a dog all winter and have to do your own maintenance as well. Maybe you need to come here, where someone else does our maintenance, and Holland works better than jost. And we don't get dogged dropping trailers all the time like that. Good day to you too.

 

And clearly another assumption you made is to attempt to insult our drivers ability to drop a trailer. I've been dropping trailers for 23 years. Not in a slave labor environment like you, but I know how its done. I dropped a trailer today. Holland gear. Can crank it up or down with 2 fingers and a thumb, its so smooth. But I guess dropping them wrong makes them that smooth.

 

Again with you're dumb assumptions.
1. That gig is local I work a whopping 8 hours for $700 and run 250 miles.
2. My paperwork for the night is sent in at about 4 am and I have a check cut by 7 am the next morning so yes they really dog me dog the hell out of me.
3. The assumption that you're company doesn't do much maintaince is justified as the average trailer in the fleet for drop and hook is 12 years old. On those trailers the jost we can grease and they seem to work better the holland no matter how much grease we put on them they're a royal pita to get up and down and god forbid you crank them up when there's a load on.
4. If you'd like to throw insults be my guest for the work I do I have no problem laying under a trailer and greasing the gear.
5. Your company maintains you're equipment I own my equipment and for the most part I'm the only one who touches it after working on it I've got the experience and knowledge not saying you don't but if a set of jost gear aren't working correctly there's a problem because they are a higher quality land gear than Holland will ever be.

As I said good day. I have my opinion you have yours. If you want to see how "dogged" I am all winter I'd be more than happy to show you what a gravy gig that is long as you don't mind a little work.

 

Girls, girls. Your both pretty.....
