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.
Man that Tennessee Vols tractor is what’s up!!!
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 🤣🤣
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.
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
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 🎥
We need to see more videos that one was very good and helpful
That is the best video yet!
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!
Clear and concise. Nice job.
Thank you brother my big dream is to become a trucker in Canada and cross to the US😍 God's Grace
This is a really good video. Professional!
Hey you're the best Big Rig!
Thanks for the resfresh!
Thank you much more helpful then my trainer jut saying do a drop nd hook while half asleep…
You did wonders with this video bro; I’m a new trucker and I believe my 7 year old could hook and unhook from a trailer with this video
thank u so much, the up close camera angles really helped to understand how exactly the locking jaws work.
Great video and camera views!
Thanks brother. I've been thinkin about driving mules at work. And now I think I will. God Bless you.
Great video and you showed the locking jaw and explained everything thoroughly. Very clear instructions.
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
Very simple video thank you so much.
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.😊
You made it look simple ,your camera was on a good angle thank you very much.
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.
I just earned my CDL 2 days ago & I was thinking the exact same thing.
Good video, simple to d point.🇯🇲
Thx brother, great upclose video
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.
Very descriptive video you show what my driving school doesn’t show will look at more videos you post
Very good video and informative as well
You're a great educator

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👍

Me personally this is the best video yet on how to do this properly very well detailed 👏 👌🏻

Rule of thumb: Always check your gromins/gland hand seals to ensure they are not worn or even missing. God Bless you also Brother. Truck on Safely.
