Thank you so much for doing these videos. You're one of the trucking channels that has helped me decide to get my CDL and start driving. I had been on the fence about it for quite some time, but have finally decided to pull the trigger and get the process rolling.
Dave instead of winding up the landing gear just dump your air bags then after you get under it and lock the king pin, lift them up to make sure when you do your tug test it’s the trailers brakes holding you back not just the landing gear. And it helps with releasing the first bit of pressure when you start winding up the landing gear. Stay safe from Australia.
I've picked up there a couple times. Didn't actually know they allowed overnight parking, but i've also never had to wait for a load there. And hard agree - backing with the tandem all the way back is a recipe for disaster. Or at least, it's gonna make me take twenty minutes to park
@@Ted_Ventures also he has a habit of trying to crank the landing gear in high gear. That not only will kill you but it will also snap the cross bar. Put it in low until the pressure is off then go to high. Rookies!😂
Because lowering the air bags will allow you under the trailer. Inflate your air bag the system will eventually pick your trailer off the ground. Thus less binding to mess with
Hey Dave quick tip when trailers are to low dump your air bags then try to slide under, if still to low put some wood on the frame when your partially under like you were then bring air bags back up should help lift the trailer and make it easier to crank handle. Stay safe out there driver keep the shiny side up
I like how you make it suspenseful at the beginning of your videos. I’m trucking through Texas On a dedicated. Keep the videos coming bro. Fantastic content
When your trailer is low and you can't get under it, raise landing gear, once you do it enough you can know by eyeballing it to tell before you even get there. Stay safe!!
I sent my son your link. I drove otr from 88 to 09 until I had a rollover accident that left me 100% disabled. He wants to drive so I felt that CFI could get him going in the right direction. And if it benefits you, we'll you're welcome. 🤙
If you can, drop your airbags then back under the trailer. Once you’re under there, raise your airbags and it’ll theoretically make the landing gear easier to crank.
Yiyr doing a fine job, l know trucking has its'tough times, l drove 23 years, wrestled with tough tandems, tandem to the rear is best backing for tight docks!
So if you have a problem with backing up with your tandems all the way to the back, why don't you back up first then slide them back once you are almost to where you it? The only reason I can think why you didn't do that is unless they watch you slide them back before you leave the gate
You could have dropped your air bags on your tractor, and slid right under it, then inflated them and the gear would have been off the ground. That’s the smart way to do drop and hook. Less work on you, and the others who come get it.
What's up Dave I have delivered and picked up there many times when I worked at ROEHL.. pretty cool to see an old place I've been to in one of your videos thx. Be safe out there
Hell yeah Dave I like how you stay proactive and persistent and do what makes sense to keep trucking. Id rather drop and hook and keep going up the road to instead of wasting a whole ten. 💯🌍🔥More Vids.
I’ve been there. Lady at the guard shack is really nice, I dropped my trailer to the left, then had to go past the guard shack to grab my new trailer at the top. Back in February 😬
When u were cranking that landing gear I felt that I Do it all the time every week and it gets old quick keep up the good work got respect for you brother Great video btw
I know this is unrelated but I’m not a truck driver and just generally want to know. How do feel or do you like it when somebody goes past you on the interstate and pumps there arm for you to honk your horn.
You know that feeling when you're 6 years old and you think Santa Claus hass just been to the house so you can't sleep because you're just too darn excited? It's so rare nowadays at least for me as a driver that's about the feeling I get. It makes my entire day especially if I'm having a bad one
@@Reflectivityy one time, i was riding my bike with my friends, i pumped my arm at a fire truck that was heading back to the station, at least I think, sirens were off, so i assume they were heading back. It was so loud the ground shook and I think my ear-drums died😂
@@josephrauso5486 sorry for the long reply but it's a longer story so if ya got a minute. I've scared the crap out of some kids. They'll be on the sidewalk with their parents and their parents will be giving them the air horn showing them how. People don't exactly grasp how loud some air horns are. Like I used to work for a chicken feed company, old trucks, horns were so loud. I don't mean loud for an air horn I mean train horn loud. The roads we usually were on weren't roads that normal semi trucks go down. Some were so tight two cars couldn't pass each other on them so on some curves, hills, etc. you had to make sure nobody was flying down the road or else it was bad news bears. Anyways, the feed mill was in town and so when you went out to the highway you passed through a small residential area. Well there was this little boy and his dad walking down the road and traffic was moving slow, usually my shift started at 5 p.m so everyone was getting off work. The guy stopped and looked up at me to see if I was paying attention and just kind of looked at his son, tapped him on the shoulder and his face got so excited to see the truck. They started the signal and I mean they were giving it all they got to get me to pull that horn. I waved but was nervous because I knew how loud it was. I decided to just hit the city horn and he kind of got sad. I felt bad so I thought what the hell and letter rip. Buddy I tell ya I have never seen a look of excitement and pure terror on a kid's face quite like that. I didn't know whether to laugh or feel absolutely God awful. The kid then started smiling his dad waved at me and I think the car next to me shit herself because I started going at the light and she kinda just sat there for a minute like holy sheet 😂😂😂
Dang it Dave, you were 30 minutes away from me and now you are heading the opposite way. It would be nice to see you on the road and wave, even if you don't see me.
Believe it or not currently in training right now, for tanker. We have a low fifth wheel so all these damn trailers are dropped to high/low(has happened in both cases) if you hook up your glad hands and charge the trailer brakes it makes it ten times easier!
Got to love when you are doing 45 or 55 then the light deiced to change on you at the last minute. One thing that suck when you have flash intersection camera and no truck driver wants that.
He could also try lowering his airbags if it's too low for that as well. Thats what my trainer taught me to do and we had one in midland TX that was sunk into the ground
Hey. Dave I’m in Joplin Missouri started at CFI because of you and zenroadtrucker / Joe. I have meet Joe but I was hoping to meet you as well because you lead me onto CFI.
Drop your airbags and give her that good old juice. You should almost never have to crank a trailer up, especially if you have lift assist bars on your frame of the tractor. I don't know if you've ever seen them but they're really freaking nice. It makes noticing a high trailer that much easier because you should almost always hit those bars before you get onto the fifth wheel. ( Side note, I don't know if that's the actual name for them. They are two flat bars one on each side of the frame that are angled up towards the 5th wheel and have like a small flat surface on the apex of them.)
Hey Dave, I didn't read through all comments, but tell them you'll slide tandems before uncoupling. Keep them forward, back in and then slide them. That way you have tighter turning.
I was riding my motorcycle to my friends house and almost got sandwiched between a pickup and a tanker lol. The semi in front of the truck locked up his brakes to stop for a flagger. I moved to the shoulder so I could get out of the way if I have to lol
Dump the air when your landing gear is down to pull away easily. Dumping the air to hook up may reward you with a high hook. Leave the air in the bags and, ideally, you'll lift the trailer up when you hit the pin, guaranteeing a solid hook.
Mr Dave as a person that is looking into trucking if CFI allows it a video on using the Qualcomm if u ain’t done one would be amazingly informative when u have time sir love your videos God bless
when my dad worked at the Loyd Brothers Farm he would do anything to working on a tractor to driving big trucks all while working 40 hours a week on minimum wage trying to keep 3 boys fed and everytime he drove the big truck tohaul grain i would go with him and one time we was going down the highway that had traffic lights bout every 3 miles and every time we would reach a traffic light we would have to lock up the brakes going there and back.
Did you drop your airbags getting under that low trailer? Also, just me, but I would have ht that turning lane for a minute to punch in the info and send it. Keep up the good work, Dave.
He’s low on his time and does not want to take 15 minutes or so out of his drive to put in information that can be done in about two hours anyway. What if He hit traffic and that 15 minutes that he spent putting in the info could’ve been A buffer he could’ve used to get A truckstop safely and timely
Next time back in your trailer first and then slide tandems back doohhhh when you can and you could here. Also you can lower your airbags to get under it and if that doesnt work then raise landing gear. There is so much to trucking especially in my field of flat bedding.
That's one of those situations where you look at what time it needs to be where it's going; might be planned in a way that you need to pull a split sleeper to make the load work
@@LavenderSystem69 I'll agree with that. Past two companies seem to think they're entitled to stealing drivers break time that really gets me angry, while pretending to not understand HOS. At the dock while responsible for the truck IS ON DUTY.

Go get your cdl, either from a school or pay for training.(I never went to trucking school), learned from my step dads business hauling excavation, construction equipment/ dump trucks. So I learned & practiced, go take your road test. Once you get a cdl you apply for jobs, it’s mostly going to be grunt work your first 6 months-1yr. It will be a mega carrier like swift, cr England, prime, western express etc. put your time in as a rookie/ new driver. Take your time & watch what your doing. Take it slow. Ask for help, other drivers will help you. most company’s want 1 ur experience at least. Most small or medium sized insurance companies won’t cover you until you get 1 year experience. You may get lucky if you find a mom & pop trucking company that will let you learn the ropes or a local farmer. Once you get 2 yrs experience you basically can get any job you want. Owner op, company driver, team driver, hazmat, heavy haul, flat bed, reefer or whatever you want to haul. Keep your driving record clean, keep your piss clean & your golden.
I live in the town next to Danville and every time I go to Danville for something there's always a truck or two parked in front of the vender's village. Could you get another gopro and put it on the rear left of your trailer looking forward and start showing left turns?
So just the other day I saw a CFI drive through my hometown in Pennsylvania I thought it was the coolest thing
CFI is forced dispatch tho you can’t say no lol prolly why they are successful

Do you have air dump suspension? I know that some of the larger carriers don’t. They order trucks without to save money
Did you try dumping airbags to lower backend of the truck? I have seen some people do that when hooking trailer.
Dump the air when your landing gear is down to pull away easily. Dumping the air to hook up may reward you with a high hook. Leave the air in the bags and, ideally, you'll lift the trailer up when you hit the pin, guaranteeing a solid hook.

Owner op, company driver, team driver, hazmat, heavy haul, flat bed, reefer or whatever you want to haul. Keep your driving record clean, keep your piss clean & your golden.
Lower your air bags Bevis!🤔🤦♂️🤷♂️
I live in the town next to Danville and every time I go to Danville for something there's always a truck or two parked in front of the vender's village. Could you get another gopro and put it on the rear left of your trailer looking forward and start showing left turns?

Sca/essity loads are usually on the lighter side.
In a tight spot axle all the way back has no back swing and backs easily with no bumping other trailers
Do you like the fright liner cascadia?
Last time I was there there was only about 5 trailers in that 1st lot
Dave instead of sliding your tandems all the way to the back before you park the trailer, do it while your trailer is parked, Trucking 101
Next time DROP your air BAGS. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why didn't you let your air bags down then back underneath trailer
