SCHNEIDER SLIDER!!! FIFTH WHEEL FAIL??
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มิ.ย. 2023
- Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! I hope my viewers are enjoying the new 4K videos!!! Today, I take our flagship Peterbilt 389-X, Miller Industries, Century 1150R heavy rotator towing and recovery unit #11 to assist a customer who is having a little trouble with their fifth wheel. When the driver pulls away after performing his tug test, the trailer drops off the truck during the turn. Thankfully, it was at slow speed. Containers are always trouble for towing and recovery companies and this one proves to be no different. There is a reason they are called "wrecker killers". None of that here, though and no injuries. Just a slight little leaning problem to solve. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

My common analogy, "there are many ways to reach 10". I could have approached this (any) job several different ways. The approach method is important, but more important is achieving the desired result, safely.
Again, a very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taken the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!!!

![BOWKYLION - เจ้านายคะ (work-life imbalance) [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6bFj8G2pOi4/mqdefault.jpg)
When my mom and her second husband were driving from Utah to Pennsylvania about 35 years ago, their vehicle died in the middle of nowhere. A Schneider driver stopped and then gave them a ride to the nearest garage, and made sure they were getting help before he left. I’ve thanked every Schneider driver who has crossed my path ever since.
NEVER trust a tug check ALWAYS look at.the jaw’s with a flash light
Exactly. Hopefully this driver learns from this.
Always every time.
That's right over my years otr driving I've had a few that wouldn't trip when the went full back in the catch, and some that wouldn't release too among the best were the oe brockway fifth wheels just had to maintain them. The cheaper pressed metal ones seemed to have more issues before I decided to become more local. And dropped to a B license
Nice lift Ron.
Still, can’t blame the driver he did do everything right
42:12 For those wondering, the yellow wheeled stand to the left of the trailer Ron is walking towards is a nose support stand that keeps a trailer in dock from falling forwards when being loaded by large, extremely heavy forklifts...
I’ve seen 28ft pups tipped.
Passed by Miller Industries on my way home from Maryland. Multi Multi millions of equipment visible from highway!
I like it when we see you do these jobs on your own Ron, your 100% total focus and concentration for the task in hand is a real joy to watch.
Keep up the great work.

First time I saw you channel like the way you do things I like your rig and yeah I figured lifting differently too but your voice was a good on nice video enjoyed the content sharp wrecker thanks Ron
Ron, as always, I appreciate your manners and professionalism. I am a supervisor and try to keep it as PG as possible. But, compared to you and your team, I fall short. Stay safe and great work.
High hitches are common in the container world. Schneider has a pretty good set up on their container trucks. They cut the framehorns back to the last x member and mount the mudflap brackets at 45°. This allows them
To set the 5th wheel forward so the steer axle can get 12000 on it
And keeps frame strikes down on the chassis.
I'd love to do that to my truck.
Boss won't let me.
It's about more than just weight. It's also about limiting drag to save fuel.
@@memyself7419 yep. I'm a "can hauler" as well. My specialty is 20' iso tanks boxes and permitted overweights. on 40' tri axle chassis. Nothing about what I do is aerodynamic I'm ecstatic when I can get 6 mpg. Schneider bobbed rear end and a JB HUNT neck 40' tandem chassis
Set up tanker spec light is a dream of mine. 51' 5 axle bridge.
Good morning Ron. Thank you for your continued interesting and educational videos. Have a great weekend
Good morning everyone …
I always check my jaws. I had a trailer fall off the 5th wheel in the yard. I got the shop guys to see the jaws where still locked. They helped me get it up. Then they turn that big nut in the front. No more lost trailers. Get your 5th checked for play.
Ron, your etiquette finger hanging out makes these the most classy recoveries I have seen. Good for at least a chuckle every time.
Hmm. not to speculate too much, or call the driver a liar there, but that nice curved path in the grease seems to indicate that the trailer was sitting on top of the 5th wheel when it fell off the side. Mistakes happen though, just part of being human.
Good job Ron , shows that there is alot of different ways to rig a container on a trailer .
In the tow truck I drove , we put our different length slings and straps in their own bags . The bags had what they were and lengths wrote on them . Made it alot easier to just get the bag out , with what I needed . Also made the tool boxs look neater .
Hopefully it may help you if you hadn't thought of it or considered it previously
Very well done, Ron. We are always amazed at how quickly you can assess the situation and come up with a solution. Have a good day and God bless!
Hasn't been a job he hasn't figured out! Definitely makes it interesting to watch 💪
@@bigchevy350boy🎉😚🫣😏
Good morning Ron hope everything is going well. Prayers for your family and all your employees and family. Have a blessed weekend and stay safe
16:17 it’s amazing how you can do something safe, and complete it successfully, and people on the internet will still tell you you did it wrong. Lol
Good job Ron!
Yea but you assume it was open after the high hook. I’m betting the high hook closed the fifth wheel
Great job Ron. My last job I had before I retired Was driving a yard dog it was nice not having to round the dollies up and down just step out the back door and hook-up the brake lines and get back in and release them and raise the fifth-wheel and take off. Put it were you needed it and put it down unhook and you was done with that one. The only time I had any problems was when someone dropped a trialer and we got some snow and it made it set to low for me to get under it. But we had big
Forklift and most of the time if the guy that drove it could get beside it he could lift it up so I could get under it.
God bless you.

Hi Ron, watching you maneuver with your extended pinkie reminded me of my later grandmother. She was part of a research team in Johannesburg, South Africa, that developed the vaccine for Polio. She was involved in a laboratory incident which resulted in the bones in her pinkie being fused. She always looked so elegant when she drank a cup of tea,
I hope your injury heals and gives you full functionality.
Keep the videos coming. I enjoy watching your analysis of the situation and then implementing the solution.
Good morning Ron and everyone.
You are a good teacher
Watching you work Mr. Ron Pratt. Is like watching a piece of Art. You treat every job with such professionalism, Precision
and patience. Its very great to see as a tow recovery operator myself in Beautiful upstate New York. As always great recovery! I always tell the drivers I encounter to check with a flash light then perform the tug test. I’ve recovered a fed ex frieght trailer and tractor that had a similar situation. Job well done Sir!
When you were pulling out rigging I noticed that you checked the weight limit on the straps, even though I'll bet you've got it all memorized. Good professionalism.
Based on what I've seen / with some inferences, Ron seems to have 4 different infinite loop "models", 2 different strengths (which seem to be denoted by color, I know the chains have a similar system), and 2 lengths (8' and 20'). In other videos Ron's reading the labels aloud to check the lengths, so there doesn't seem to be an easy way to check the length at a glance when they're all in a pile in the box (obviously it's immediately apparent if he took them out of the box, but that'd take longer).
@@Underscore11 Straps have either different colours or a different number of stitching lines on them to denote their weight capacities.
I’ve seen this so often, the drive attempts to couple too low, the king pin slides over the 5th wheel plate and drops over the front edge of the plate, he then does a tug test and it feels solid, as soon as he turns, the king pin slides around the plate and off comes the trailer.
You will always find a shiny score mark on the 5th wheel plate where the king pin has been dragged across the plate. 🇺🇸🇬🇧👍
Everyone's an armchair critic. Your equipment, you're truck, you're job and your responsibility I think the way you did the job and use of equipment was great. Great video. Thanks for taking the time. He did it his way
Plenty of these armchair critics probably haven't worked in the industry. Also could be jealousy from a rollback operator.
"More than one way to skin a cat"! Love how you are lifting from the bottom right next to the sign that says "TOP LIFT ONLY". 🤣 Thanks for the video.
If everyone did it the same way, it would be boring
The best way is the safest way to get the job done. Great video Ron.
Interesting problem, Ron. You and your "baby" did well. Stay safe out there!!
I always enjoy watching your problem solving skills in action. I see the finger is still wrapped. It would probably heal faster if you didn't use it😉 Thank you for sharing another interesting video. Please stay safe, and God bless.
Good morning, Ron. That is one dry fifth wheel. I bet there is nothing wrong with it. Driver error only
Trailer says "TOP LIFT ONLY" ... Ron says "forget that!" 😛
Good job Ron...! Multiple way to get to ten...! 👍👍Always glad to see a nice safe location to work in... !
An interesting turn of events. Glad everyone was OK. It could be driver error or equipment failure either way the trailer didn't stay where it was supposed to & Ron you did it the best way you knew how sir good work.
Hey Ron, do you think the boom cam will make an appearance anytime soon? Appreciate customers come first of course so it may not be practicable to get set up. Enjoying your videos from this side of the pond! 🇬🇧 😎👍
Another great video. Thank you Ron keep up the good work.
Enjoyed the video. Driver was super nice. Other guy was right there with paper work. Glad it was a successful job for you. Have a nice day. May God bless you, your family and your business.
Yes Sherry I agree on all points. I also enjoyed in the first few moments, when the kid asked "what are you thinking" and then traced the hookup of the lift lines and followed the procedure. I do hope this is mechanical failure, he seemed like a good and sharp lad, either way he learned a lot. 从 m
Good afternoon Ron hope u & ur family/crew has a great day! Stay safe out there. Much love
Another awesome job Ron you are a hard worker Excellent job
Great professionalism, equipment and skill! Top notch!
Schneider slider! Always loved the names you come up with for titles !
I love your vids! Keep up the great work! Love the channel!
Hi Ron, luv watching your channel. Like yourself,I had a garage and used to do recovery work.Nice to see good safe operating.
Another great job Ron mate you're the man
👍Good job Ron, thanks for sharing. :)
Always a pleasure watching you
Hey Ron, have you seen the newer Pete with an upgraded rotator which has dual steering axles up front and a triple set of duals in the rear? From what I can tell it packs a bigger powerplant under the hood, a higher lifting capacity, has more storage and is 1 heck of a beast. It would be the perfect semi-retirement present you can buy yourself while the younger generation is still cutting their teeth on your 2015 model. It would be a great father-son combination at any scene. If you haven't seen it yet; I can share the TH-cam link with you. I do not want to post another persons video link on your site, it feel it would be improper for me to do so, without your knowledge or permission ahead of time. Speed Safely.👷👨🔧
Miller makes a 100 ton version that youmay be talking about. I believe even the 70 ton has two steer axels now.
Another fabulous job done. Great Job Ron!!
Another great video Ron. Thanks for sharing. God bless
Enjoyed the video Ron! keep them coming and I will keep watching.
Very interesting I never knew this could happen wow!!everytime this old woman watches something new to see and learn love your videos👍
Awesome as always! I really enjoy your videos
Well done Ron, "KEEP ON TRUCKIN' "
The wonder man with his wonder truck makes it safe again! Fun to watch!
Beautiful to watch you work.
Looking like another excellent job Ron!
Wonderful job Ron
8°😂😂, love your channel and the diversity of your job. Much love from The Netherlands.
Thanks you for the video ,Nice job .
Schneider sure uses nice wheel covers
Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there
The mark on the fifth wheel explains it.
Another great Job Ron
Awesome video thanks for sharing
I miss the driving portions.
Stay safe Ron and crew!
One time I hooked up to a trailer that the bolt for landing gear handle was missing. thankfully my BIC pen fit, and held up to raise landing gear! ALL drivers should carry the pins with the clasp on it
Awesome job Ron ! Stay Safe brother !
Great video keep up the good work God bless from GA
Stay safe out there Ron!
In my opinion we should not critique you because we are not there even if we did your type of work. You are very professional in your work and have pride and hart in your work another awesome video. Denis from Santa Rosa CA
Great video, always enjoy the ride along on your adventures, No trafficor ARC chances here
If I ever end up around your way Ron, my oldest would love to see tator up close. Considering that you’d have time and would allow my 8yo to see your facility. All he talks about is “I want to be a tow operator like Ron”. He knows all the specs of the rotator. And he loves rigging. I bet if you were able to simulate a roll over he could tell you almost exactly how you would rig it up without you giving him any hints/clues.
God Bless.
That's right teamwork makes the dream work Ron
Good Morning Ron and Crew this could have been a SWIFT run lol hope all have a great and safe day working , ps I drove for them back in the late 70s
Nice job Ron.
I knew a guy that drove for Yellow and was driving through a neighborhood with his truck for a delivery and he said he noticed the power company was working on the overhead lines. As he turned the corner his trailer caught the power lines and they started popping off the rooftops until they got him to stop. He told me that was the first time that had ever happened. It spooks me when you park your truck so close to an object when you lift but I also know it's better to do that for balance with a weight load.
Back in the 80 s one of the company trucks we worked on ripped the cable from a neighborhood bar just hours before Monday Night Football
@@Rocketboy991 ooof bet they weren't happy
@@Rocketboy991lol. Cable TV wire is easy to fix.
thank you for sharing with us God Bless have a Blessed day.
You see folks, he teach those pictures for his scrapbooks Ron is still a kid at heart
Congrats on 500k subscribers. 🎉
Another job well done Ron 😊
Keep up the good work love watching you on TH-cam god bless
Great job Ron love your video
I pick up loads out of that p&g all the time! Awesome video!!
Another perfect recovery! It was Eazy Peazy! Stay safe.
Very clean looking lot!!
Smart idea!
Your finger hasn't healed yet, or is this just another "old job?" God Bless Ron, and stay safe!
Nice smooth job!👏👏👏👏
Good afternoon Ron
It's unlike you to leave your ends on the spreader bar and how your finger doing
I noticed that too. The spreader bar also looks to still be partially rigged with a strap too. At a guess, this job came immediately after the non-container - container lift from last week's video.
Don't worry what others say, they weren't yhere doing the left, you were! & you did a great job!
Good work, Ron. It might take a while because you’re so safety minded but you and your truck get it done and that’s a good thing being safety minded.
Good job as usual keep it safe
Awesome job
Always doing a great job man
I have seen that king pin break off then the unit pulled away and the trailer dropped to the floor ,thanks for the video
Hey Ron I just wanted to say that a few days ago was my last run doing over the road driving and I got to pick up in cape Girardeau and it was cool being here in person one day I hope to get the chance to meet you but until then keep making great videos 😁
Good job ❤
Good videos your good job
"Many ways to reach 10," but I think that was the simplest, safest and most reliable way.
Awesome performance as always 🤓🙋♂️👍
Cool love your videos
Nice to have a standard Ron video again :)
