Looks like the shipper was trying to get 2 loads shipped for the price of one. Some Fluid Film on the 5th wheel slide and trailer slide will make life easy on the clutch as well and I always throw on the diff lock as well when sliding. Good information as always.
Thanks, i appreciate it. Those are some good tips! My other trailer has the lever that pulls the pins. It's a lot easier on the truck to just use the hand brake.
Can you clarify why you slid your fifth wheel? You were legal on your steers and your drives. If my math is correct all you had to do was slide your tandems back six holes. Just curious.
@@jptransport8830 oh OK. Got it. I know you know what you’re doing. I was just curious. Speaking of which, when you mention not being able to get your transmission into manual, are you just pressing the button or holding it? I know of at least seven drivers that didn’t know you had to hold it to enter manual mode.

I slid my 5th wheel back as a precaution. I would have been very close on steer axle weight once I put another 1,600 lbs on the drives.
