    When picking up 3rd party trailers, always take pictures with your camera of the sides, doors, tyres, dents and any damage large or small. If they try to hassle you later for damages, show them the pictures with the date and time stamp.

    When you hook up to the trailer always do a tug test before putting up your landing gears. You don't want to drop the trailer. Peace brother.

      and even you do your tug test , get out physically and get under the trailer and physically look with a flashlight to make sure that fifth wheel is locked , reason is , I've hooked up to a trailer ,heard the pinning sound , did the tug test 3 times and started to move and used the spike to test the trailer brakes and noticed the trailer pulled away from the truck , what happen you asked ? all fifth wheels have 2 locking latches , in my case the 2nd lock didn't grab or lock , thank god i wasn't out on the road... and GENTLEMAN keep that firth wheel GREASED , I've seen so many drivers with dry fifth wheels , reason why you need to grease or maintain the grease on a fifth wheel , its a pivot point and its on of the critical points of any truck

    Welcome back yousiff. Did you get coverage from your insurance for the trailer. Cause your insurance won't cover any damages to that trailer. You need an additional coverage when you're doing power only. That will cover any trailer that you pull with your truck.

      Strapping loads is like tying knots....if you don't know knots......tie lots.
      You can never over strap a load....and keep in mind that your braking force is hugely more than your acceleration or turning forces...aka lash it so it can't come visit you in the cab if you get have one of those both feet on the anchors and using the wheel for extra leverage stopping efforts.

      @@joshalex93 sorry was not clear. His “new” trailer from auction is likely used. I looked into auto inflate trailer tires. Still not sure how you set psi. But it sounds like it will self adjust? As tires warm, the pressure increases, so it reduces that?
      If system works for drivers?? Super singles might be worth it? But I assume it has to run thru exact center of rim? Truck I looked at has SS. Hope he got a nice trailer with lots of life in it. Online auctions can be deals….

    • @larsharris
      @larsharris 3 года назад

      People decide what they think will work best for them. Flatbed is often a under 50 yr old game. Realize a dry trailer you bucks the wind @ the same empty, or loaded. Empty the wind can really mess you up. Wind can tip a parked rig over. A rough wind with a low flatbed load is dangerous with box trailer.
      As a rule box, refer, grain…. Are less physical work. Power only often no touch loads. Flatbed imo or grain hauling is decent first job. Limited tight quarters backing. Refer, dry van. Every time loading, unloading is backing into a too small dock. Constant sliding axles, constant unhook, hook…
