Appreciate the video. The very first thing I do when dropping a trailer is disconnect the lines first. It is very easy to get distracted. Just stick to your routine always.
Worked for this outfit 33 years. Distraction on pre and post trip can throw you off a lot. No UPS driver is as laid back as this. Often that move breaks the rear window.🦇
I learned a very long time ago to never let anyone talk to you while hooking up or unhooking a trailer. That was the day I got interrupted by a dock supervisor about which trailer to hook back up to and which door to put it in, I only had to unplug my pigtail (I had taken the two hoses off) . I got back in the cab to pull out from under the trailer I just dropped and then WACK! the light cord came through the back window. The steel socket on the end of the cord struck me in the head after coming through the back window. I had to get 15 stitches and several staples along with 2 weeks off work. I also learned to unhook air hoses and unhook pigtail first when dropping a trailer.
@@jojolopez177until the Union gets back to work that’s the game although it doesn’t appear as though anyone seen it and didn’t drop the trailer so let’s just call it a success
Used to work for United Van Lines in El Paso back in '82. Had a driver pull out without dropping the landing gear. Forklift wasn't strong enough to lift it.....Crank, Crank. Took over 8 hours {box was empty} & he got a nice long vacation after that. Seasoned driver, should have known better. Still chuckle about that to this day.
@@DECILFEEDERSAFETY It wasn't me, I'm a lot smarter than that. {to easy to ease forward before letting the trailer brakes go} It was another line driver that it happened to. He was let go after that.
I have used a 3 point mental check list every time I drop a trailer...I literally say in my head the following 3 things in this order: Landing gear down Fifth wheel unlocked All lines are unhooked I've used this same method since 1987 and have NEVER dropped a trailer or tore an airline or electrical cord
Enjoy your videos ❤. I am a retired UPS Feeder Driver out of Baltimore. Have my own You Tube channel - Trucker Steve CDL Instructor. May I use a part ( small clip) of your video on my channel?
Then you've never done a proper/legal post trip then! If a tire lost pressure for what ever reason, on site maintenance could fix the problem before the next driver picks up that trailer. I myself alway tell new drivers check tires often as possible! I hate picking up a trailer with my time ticking away having to wait to get it fixed because last driver never checked them when dropping it!
You are the worst kind of person. The number of times I came to pick up my trailer and had to wait 30-40-60 minutes for them to change out a clearly flat tire is infuriating. Wastes my time, for no reason. If you post trip it, you tell maintenance and then you still get to drive away. takes less than 5 minutes of your time, and only takes like 1 minute if all the tires are ok. But when I am now late for all my stops because some asshat couldnt take 60 seconds and check their tires, it makes me want to hit someone.
@@bennraxx7908 you wear a safety vest while you drive along with your driving gloves too? Im just givin you some shit but on a serious note you can get out of a truck safely without 3 points of contact. Just hold onto the door or going in just hold onto the steering wheel you can get in and out much faster and not look like a goober.

It is
I kept waiting to hear the riff from " Shake hands with danger".

It's actually the last you do, if a proper disconnect is performed.
Just a normal ups driver.
@@stephenmorris9704there is no proper or improper way. The proper way is the way you do it every time.
That's how they all do it at JB Hunt
This driver used to drive for Swift...got their highest safety award I bet
DONT TALK TO ANYBODY AT WORK!!!!
This type distraction happens anytime your routine is broken. Whenever your routine gets broken start your routine over to avoid this. Stay focused!!
💯

If get distracted in pre and post maybe you shouldn’t drive, what happens going down the road?

Have done that also, didn't come through the window, but hit the back of the cab. I bet that hurt.
Nothing to report equals a flawless shift baby. Cmon man!
Are we going to ignore the real problem here? Dave left his thumper on the catwalk!
I worked for fed ex ground drivers did it all the time and dropped trailers on ground and kept there jobs
Here at ups your fired !!!

@@williamlogullo8452 if you drop a trailer and don’t report it, your fired . If your report it , it’s a warning letter . TEAMSTERS LOCAL 104 👊
We all have done that
I was thinking the same thing.
Who is we ? lol this is a day can he was just careless i always look out the back window when unhooking
Yes we have. Anyone who says they haven't is full of it or hasn't been out here for very long
@@jasonmiller2962 ripped off airlines ? Or got ready to pull of w/ them hooked ?

i did that once and i been double checking ever since. nothing broke but sheesh that is one bang i dont want to hear.
No one gets in a truck like that. But since this is for educational purposes we'll let it slide 😂
too funny, looks like Dave also hit a few things with the trailer. 🤔
That's the 4th time he ripped of the airlines this week ,it's only THURSDAY 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And Monday was a Holiday!
Channel is coming along great. Keep it up! Love what you all are doing down there.
Thanks Guys, really appreciate that!
I have used a 3 point mental check list every time I drop a trailer...I literally say in my head the following 3 things in this order:
Landing gear down
Fifth wheel unlocked
All lines are unhooked
I've used this same method since 1987 and have NEVER dropped a trailer or tore an airline or electrical cord
He looks like a veteran driver. Not a rookie
Sums it up good from what I’ve seen on the road.
Well at least now you will have 3 days off to get some rest
I assume that this was an instructional video… if not, the driver should’ve slapped the cameraman…
It's for training, they are tractors that are being scrapped and we decided to make some interesting videos
@@DECILFEEDERSAFETY cool beans!!! Actually , it does show how easily something can get over looked, 👍
Scrapped? Why?@@DECILFEEDERSAFETY
@@AbelG8781I read UPS never sells their used trucks, something about a liability. Found it on Google.
Not the first driver to ever do that. Our lowboy drivers did it on a regular basis.
I used to pull lowboys and when I started they told me of you only rip the lines off once a year consider yourself lucky. We've all done it.
You do that once as a driver and tend to never do it again……..it’s abit like calling a woman by the wrong name during sex!! 🤣🤦♂️😁
Its hard to find good help.
!
Who is recording this? Who didn't warn the driver? Not a very nice thing to do
Obviously a staged company training video.
Oops 😬 your fired!
Wouldnt expect any less from a UPS driver 😂
That driver was hired from FedEx.........
@@DECILFEEDERSAFETY Doesn't surprise me either
You’ve got a back window, use it, always look back as you are unhooking.
The guy looks LAZY anyway.
I usually am looking out the back window to make sure the landing gear is doing its job
What's a back window 😂
42 years of driving legs line p i n when disconnecting

absolutely
And Dave could lose His Job UPS don't play that at all
LOL typical day driver!
So that's why my u p s prices went up for shipping
i try not to talk to people when im working
"D'OH"
That should be an automatic write up..
Great Acting
I did that once, 30 years ago when I was a rookie
yeah did that once to lol!!!!
I have been doing it for the last 39 years.
OOPS
UPS like running stop signs and red lights
Looks like a training video, why is he checking the tires if he is dropping the trailer , personally I never did

How many times have we all picked up a trailer only to find a flat that was left by another driver.
So your the one that left me with a trailer tire completely off the rim...
@SwiftyMcVeigh851 I always do post trip. I don't believe I've ever left a trailer with a flat or burnt our light. Sorry wasn't me.

What did I just watch? 1. Who actually uses 3 points of contact? I bet he’s real fun to hang out with. Also why did you not tell him about the hoses?
I still use 3 points and I’m 23 not risking a face plant trying to look cool

Like not realizing this clip was staged? 😅
Very much a rookie mistake.🇺🇲👍
This video was staged
This guy should be fired immediately
Dave done screwed up
YOU STOOD THEIR RECORDING HIM AND DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ?!
Pretty obvious it’s an instructional video
