Well, JJ, another hit.... congrats once again, All a pro, attention to details. And I got news, just passed my PTI test, on my CDL school. I decided of course to finish in my hometown and then move out of Florida. Might as well after all I pay for. Now, next step is parking and road test.
That was a good video as always. I like the two camera angles. Your comment about having so much room kind of made me chuckle. Your analogy of cranking the landing gear towards the truck when you’re leaving with the trailer and towards the back of the trailer when you’re leaving without the trailer.
Yeah the trailer air lifting the landing gear is a great idea as long as your trailer is air ride. Even though I'm a Reefer driver now (yes, I finished my training in my trainers truck and passed the test out phase) I only actually ran one reefer run with my trainer who was dry van. The one thing I noticed is that all of the dry van trailers that I pulled were all springs. When I hooked up the the reefer trailer it was a noticeable difference with the air ride, especially when we got some weight on it.
Thanks for this video, JJ. These techniques are helpful. I arrive in Springfield for orientation this coming Thursday 10/29/2020 and I want to learn all I can.
hey jj you are one of those guys with the lower airbags ones lolol, to me i see it as a extra step but your right it does bind up the landing gear if it is a olden trailer, the new or newer ones don't have to worry, and my cousin and i always did the tug test to ensure we heard the pin and making sure everything was good to go so keep it up and stay safe!! and of course #american strong!!!!!
Hey JJ, something that's a good habit to get into is check for trailer registration papers during the inspection. I have had to request them 3 times from dispatch to avoid getting a fine from DOT during an inspection at the scales.
thanks for another great video. looks like you need to get a GoPro camera you could wear on your head. love the drone footage too period Keep up the great work.
Great job JJ. I’m brand new started with Western. I see how you think. You’re not just thinking of yourself. You care about others. Karma(aka GOD), sees and comes around ! Keep it up Brother. GB. Thanks for showing me the right way, unlike my so called trainer
Just a friendly word of advice, I been otr for almost 17 years, after you check the jaws and crank the landing gear an inch or two up always tug test, the jaws can look closed but not be latched have seen it happen hundreds of times over the years, always a good idea to tug anytime after you leave your truck just to be safe also
Hi JJ here In uk we work on LAP legs air pin and PAL pin air legs as a routine, if you went to drop the trainer in UK and did not so the legs first or when hooking up you did not do the pin on fith wheel it’s an instant fail every time , I appreciate every where does it different , just says keep safe and regards from Great Britain 🇬🇧
Excellent question John Wick. It's a visual answer and I'll address it in my very next video, to be released on Tuesday. Please keep an eye out for it.
JJ why don't you just have the landing gear touch the ground and then pull away you do this all the time releasing air out of the airbags just wondering thanks
JJ - drone footage was excellent!! Have you ever put together a list of the equipment you use for your videos (drone, camera, editing, etc)? If so, where can I find it - if not how about putting together a list or doing a video about that. And of course keep doing these videos.
thanks Mike. I haven't put that list together yet because I'm still adding to it. In fact, in my very next video I'll ask you guys to help me decide which piece of equipment to get next. Be sure to stay tuned to watch it. It'll come out either Saturday or Sunday.
Here’s a tip for dropping trailers I never see anyone talk about. If your trailer in equipped with a suspension dump valve, sometimes it happens automatically when you set the trailer parking brake sometimes there is a valve near the landing gear or near the release valve for sliding your tandems. If you have the automatic dump get your trailer backed in set your trailer brake only and take your foot of the brake pedal, as the trailer air bags deflate the whole truck will move forward a few inches then set your truck brake and proceed to unhook the way you normally do. If you don’t have the auto dump you would set your trailer brake only get out and flip your dump valve. This process will release tension on your fifth wheel lock jaws making it easier to pull the pin. Also if your trailer is loaded and you leave it with air in the suspension it will slowly leak out and eventually deflate and it will want to push forward which will put stress on the landing gear potentially damaging it.
Thanks. Eventually I may get one, but there are three other items at least that I need to purchase first. Stay tuned for my next video and you can help me choose which one I get next

@@JJtheTrucker one trick to blind side backing is carrying a cane in your cab so you can move the passenger door field of view of mirror farther than the mirror will rotate I used to carry one and with practice became efficient at it 👍.you hook the cane to the door while sitting in drivers seat to movedoor/mirror so you have greater field of view and back at the same time slowly.
@@JJtheTrucker hey JJ saw you a bit ago heading East in Wyoming if you shut down in Cheyenne check out R&Bsv in the morning Damn good breakfast burritos
Hey JJ . I think I got a black eye from that video. Lol. The truck looks so good. That trailer looked like a well built one . Do u c any cross country routes coming up? I enjoyed watching the maneuver from the drone and getting underneath the trailer to show the locking cross bar was great not everyone does that extra step. U made it look ez . I was curious if u like the Icons . I saw some from PIA but I don’t think they r as good. The Icons I find to b the quietest . I’m still dragon hunting . Stay safe have fun and keep up the good work
Unfortunately, I don't see routes or loads "coming up" until I'm just about delivering the load. I'm currently on one heading to the midwest. You'll learn more about that one in my weekly update tomorrow. I haven't run into any rain since putting them on yet. That may change in a couple of days. They don't work so well on bugs, but that could also be the tension of the wiper arms. The rain will be the real test.
Thanks. After these, I'm gonna try the SCRUBBLADE again to see how they do with ice, and also to get a good comparison between the Peterbilt and the Freightliner.
How long have you been driving? I’m 48. I start my first job October 4. Hard that they have inward facing cameras. Would you prefer a freight or Peter ? I take it you like Peter better ?
Good video. I love the newer trailers. Back in the day they were all manual. Use to hate sliding the Tandom I super cold weather. So in the fight did you are the phone win?lol The Volvo is doing great .Just put new Michelin low profile tires. They were high but that's what I've always ran. How do you like the Paccar engine?

I line up the rear tires with the edge of the trailer. Since I run Super Singles, I line the outer edge of the tire to the inside of the corner guard (that silver corner piece that protects and joints the corner of the trailer). Then I make sure I'm straight, drop the air bags, slide in until my 5th wheel is under the trailer, raise the air bags and glide her the rest of the way back.
@JJtheTrucker thanks alot jj appreciate it you will be hearing alot from me, never got a chance to drive on but looking forward to it I can drive trucks but haven't gotten a chance to drive a trailer 😁
Hey N2o/Gapped. My work schedule is Monday through Sunday 12:00am to 11:59pm.😁😁😁 Good thing I can sleep at work 😴 I do get to take time off whenever I want, as long as I give Prime sufficient notice.

@@JJtheTrucker the most 3 things you have to do for making a excellent videos , are ..... 1= Good script or story 2= Good audio 3= Good video editing You are doing great 👍 Oh I have my truck, a castredia 😂
A very few number of places actually do that, but for the most part it is more work for them to track every single trailer and what spot it is in and where it has been moved to over and over compared to just having the driver find it.
JJ I am afraid you are going to get hurt very bad or worse some day the very very last thing you do is pull your fifth wheel release handle when dropping a trailer you pulled that handle before you cranked down your legs When you drop a trailer you crank your legs down first then you disconnect your pigtail & airlines then you pull your fifth wheel release then you slowly pull out from under the trailer and leave the frame of the tractor under the trailer in case the dolly legs don’t hold and you have to hook up to it again that’s how I was taught but your backing was good
@@JJtheTrucker No LOL When I started trucking was like two years before the start of the National CDL license program in Illinois it was called a Chauffers license class D C was for a strate truck B was a cube van or school bus and A was for passenger Car I got my C license when I worked for our local Township highway maintenance department as soon as I graduated high school When I decided to learn SEMI I learned a lot from my Dad but he could only sneak me along so many times so I went to truck driver school 10 weeks it was good they should have instructed us more but you got to get out on your own I wish I would have been tested on 5 axles at least a 48’ van but we used a single axle I - H City unit with a single axle city flyer 35’ long w/ a non functioning lift gate LOL Just for your curiosity they did tell us to keep a clean record that a new federally mandated license was in the skunkworks just around the corner
thank you very much. Again thank you for all your help. I just got to go on that link and pay the hundred dollars. I will keep you informed of my progress. I will also be waiting for more of your videos. Be safe out there.
Yes, that is one down side of the super singles, though I've driven on them flat and didn't damage the rim or spray shrapnel everywhere. Other than that one disadvantage, they have many more advantages, including fuel savings, less chance of blowout and better traction and control in bad weather. Plus, 1 SS costs less than 2 duals.
A lot of people say they do t like SS's but never explain why, other than the whole limping thing. I do t understand what you mean about not getting out and pre tripping the trailer. Of course I do.
No tug test doesn't make sense. You claim that it binds up the landing gear. After you back under, the landing gear should be off the ground. Bad advice.
Unfortunately most people don't know how to properly drop a trailer. They put the landing gear down too far, so after you back under, the landing gear is still on the ground. If you do a visual check, there's no need for a tug test.

A very few number of places actually do that, but for the most part it is more work for them to track every single trailer and what spot it is in and where it has been moved to over and over compared to just having the driver find it.
A few mistakes when dropping the trailer, but apart from that not bad, picking up a few mistakes also, but very informative
Thanks Mark, check out the video that was released right after that. I spoke about them based on the feedback that I got.
Thank about it jj
Thank about what, Kinny?
Thank u sir
JJ I am afraid you are going to get hurt very bad or worse some day the very very last thing you do is pull your fifth wheel release handle when dropping a trailer you pulled that handle before you cranked down your legs When you drop a trailer you crank your legs down first then you disconnect your pigtail & airlines then you pull your fifth wheel release then you slowly pull out from under the trailer and leave the frame of the tractor under the trailer in case the dolly legs don’t hold and you have to hook up to it again that’s how I was taught but your backing was good
Thank you for the feedback. I'll use this comment in my very next video, to be released on Tuesday. Please keep an eye out for it.
@@JJtheTrucker It’s just my opinion. Based on the way I was trained at a accredited truck driving school 32 years ago
Did mules have 5th wheels way back then??? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@JJtheTrucker No LOL When I started trucking was like two years before the start of the National CDL license program in Illinois it was called a Chauffers license class D C was for a strate truck B was a cube van or school bus and A was for passenger Car I got my C license when I worked for our local Township highway maintenance department as soon as I graduated high school When I decided to learn SEMI I learned a lot from my Dad but he could only sneak me along so many times so I went to truck driver school 10 weeks it was good they should have instructed us more but you got to get out on your own I wish I would have been tested on 5 axles at least a 48’ van but we used a single axle I - H City unit with a single axle city flyer 35’ long w/ a non functioning lift gate LOL Just for your curiosity they did tell us to keep a clean record that a new federally mandated license was in the skunkworks just around the corner
Good job better than swift 👍 lol
That's not saying much! Lol 😂
Hey Buddy. I sent you a message and I copied and pasted an email I got from Heather in recruiting. Let me know if you got it.
No, didn't get it. Did you leave it as a comment on this video or a different video?
Yes I did. I will send it again on this one.
It got flagged as spam due to the link, but I was able to see it. Congratulations!
Let me know when you have your start date! 👍👍
thank you very much. Again thank you for all your help. I just got to go on that link and pay the hundred dollars. I will keep you informed of my progress. I will also be waiting for more of your videos. Be safe out there.
🇺🇸🦅👍
WHY DO ALL PRIME DRIVERS HAVE SUPER SINGLES? I DONT AGREE, BC IF A DRIVE TIRE GOES FLAT, YOURE STRANDED TIL A SERVICE TRUCK ARRIVES AT THE SITE.
Fuel savings
Yes, that is one down side of the super singles, though I've driven on them flat and didn't damage the rim or spray shrapnel everywhere.
Other than that one disadvantage, they have many more advantages, including fuel savings, less chance of blowout and better traction and control in bad weather. Plus, 1 SS costs less than 2 duals.
You have 40 Acres
I need it to turn this truck around!
Just like the song says ..."give me 40 acres and I'll turn this truck around..."..🤣😎
Glad someone got the reference 😁
First
Yuck. Hate super singles. You don’t usually get out - so you don’t pretrip your trailer? Looking for trouble
A lot of people say they do t like SS's but never explain why, other than the whole limping thing.
I do t understand what you mean about not getting out and pre tripping the trailer. Of course I do.
No tug test doesn't make sense. You claim that it binds up the landing gear. After you back under, the landing gear should be off the ground. Bad advice.
Unfortunately most people don't know how to properly drop a trailer. They put the landing gear down too far, so after you back under, the landing gear is still on the ground. If you do a visual check, there's no need for a tug test.
i have just decided for you , you need to get a dog.
I'm not really big on the idea of owning another living being and making it bow to my will. Lol
@@JJtheTrucker thats not how a dog works..you must bow to his will..lol
I'm not really big on the idea of another living being owning me and making me bow to its will. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Usually after I say the first thing, people say I should get a cat. Then I say the second thing. LOL
@@JJtheTrucker truckers can't have cat's .no no bet if dragons where real you'd have one..haha
