Another thing I do is when I'm backing under the trailer I let the turntable hit the trailer or go just under it, get out and check the heights. Sometimes there's a gap, or sometimes you need to drop the airbags to get under it. Great video, even though it seems simple it can be done wrong and damage can be done, trailers can be dropped.
Thanks for the ❤! I've been driving for 10 years, and there are some days, (not every day) but I still manage to get myself in a binds with dropping or hooking loaded trailers from time to time. You can bust the crank shaft if you're not careful, you can jump the 5th wheell, which I haven't done, but have seen done on loaded trailer, you better hope you're granny gears in the trailer are in good working order, and get someone with knowledge to help you! Good idea to carry a pipe 3 feet long that fits over the crank handles just incase so two people can push on it. What to do if the trailer you need to pick up was dropped to low & you can't get under it. You can't ram into it and hope it picks up. I've had the bolt in the crank handle sheer off several times on me while cranking, so it's wise to keep a few machime bolts nuts and washers with you & a basic set of wrenches with you, because when the handle falls on the ground, you aint turning it anymore. The problem with CDL schools and instructional videos is that they are geared towards help you pass the cdl test, but do not help at all with real world situations that will happen to you. This shit always happens on a Friday afternoon when you're very tired & you just want to go home, but now it's cold, you're in a jam, there's no one around and your f**ked. The CDL school I went to gets a A from me for preparing me to pass the CDL test, but gets an absolute F for preparing students for the real world. Like backing. 100 yards straight line back for the test ✅️ and 45° angle back on drivers side with orange cone markers for the test ✅️. That's fine for starters, But nobody does that in the real world. Your just flying blind in the real world until you get into a difficult place. They should take students to different industrial places, where there are different Doc situations. Start easy, and increase difficulty as student progresses backing, so they don't panic the first time you have to block traffic with your truck from both directions (the 4 wheelers have no idea how much stress the truck driver is under) the road is narrow and there is a mailbox that your gonna take out if you start turning to early, so you miss the mailbox now your ass end is too far over, so you have to try again. That's just one scenario! I digress.😊
Thank you for this video! I have been watching hours of training videos and this is the first I’ve seen that explained this process. I have my Class B with passenger to drive a school bus. I plan to complete this year and over the summer go to a truck driving school for my class A. Videos like yours are so helpful so that I can get familiar with the process. Thank you again!
This video was able to help me help my boyfriend from nj on the phone while he hooked and unhooked his trailer for the first time thank you so much for this amazing video
Nice video I got an idea now I’m gonna apply for western express pretty soon. At trucking school they didn’t teach us a lot on the drop and hooking lol just showed us one time and it’s been past a year since I got my cdl
Thank you. I'm testing for my permit this week and was concerned about drop and hook. But your video made it super easy to understand. Especially the tip of lining up the wheels. I've gotten so much good advice from truckers on here that I almost feel like I could go and drive one now lol.
Hey guy you pretty fancy with them words. 'Stowaway' and what have you. I been calling it gladhand holders. Now watch me get fancy wit it. Not to mention that is some fancy camera work too. You give us truckers a good name.
Best video of coupling and uncoupling so far ! The angle where you put the camera is just what every new driver wants to see . Great Video keep it up 💯
Man your video should be in every training class , this has got to be the first and only video I have saw with a camera pointed directly to the king pin locking in place great video
I’m a new truck driver And I got stuck I didn’t know how to unhook the trailer But this video was so helpful I really appreciate you you are so amazing Thanks so much even my teacher didn’t teach me like that Like i said you before bro You are amazing good luck my man 😉
The very second I hear the hitch engage I do a quick tug test, not a big pull but enough that you know the bar is engaged. And our electrical lead is coiled just like a pigs tail. Good video👍
Thanks! I saw a cab back up to a trailer today but didn't have time to watch the whole process of it getting loaded up. I still don't know how he did it with a post underneath the front of the trailer, in the middle.

Just wanted to say thank you… I’ve been driving tandems for over a year and am planning on going OTR next year… I so appreciate the refresher course.
As simple as this video was .. it was the camera angles that really made this video amazing .. thank you
I agree. This is the best I've seen. I needed that visual.
I didn’t see a tug test but everything else was awesome 👌🏽
That is the best video yet!
Best video ever
The way you explain it is great. The new driver can easily understand by watching your video. I have never seen such a video before. Thanks
And don’t forget to do a tug test, just in case the locking jaws don’t actually “lock” and the trailer falls off.
That I never forget. Thank you
I was thinking the same thing
He wouldn't have passed his test at the DMV 🤣🤣
@@Miguel-xq5ibDMV test doesn't apply here because you are always connected to the trailer.
Best Video Ive Seen on drop & Hook! Amazing camera angles. Very useful for us new drivers! We appreciate your dedication to give us good content 🎥
Thanks brother. I've been thinkin about driving mules at work. And now I think I will. God Bless you.
Another thing I do is when I'm backing under the trailer I let the turntable hit the trailer or go just under it, get out and check the heights.

I bet I bet you graduated from Schneider, good job
I have watched several videos about this topic but I must say that you have nailed it bro. Thanks for the lesson. God bless you too
thank u so much, the up close camera angles really helped to understand how exactly the locking jaws work.
Thanks for the ❤!

I drove the school bus for 3 years and I turned my CDL B into an A Permit last year, I’m about to Ace this third party test. In 2 weeks flat.
This needs a million of views, thanks man!
This is so awesome. I’ve always wondered how this was done!!!
Beautiful... good job broh.. thanks a lot.

Forgot to give it a slight pull forward after you’re king pin latched..to double check..if it latched on properly!
@Dr Pepper Kev yes
