One word about high and low gears on landing gear don't be stubborn lol I like the feeling of using my muscles and avoid low like it didn't exist until... I broke the mechanism cranking a loaded trailer down always gotta be careful of that stuff that and I may have pulled something important during that ordeal lol

By the way, why are you all cranking so much? Crank until you hear the leveling valve start bleeding then drop your suspension. Faster and less work for the same results.

That's assuming the tractor allows you to dump the air in the suspension. Not all of them do.

I have 52,900 all the time. Beer shippers are the cheapest. Make sure how much fuel you had when you weighed it. If you were low your gonna have problems.

Shipper:

The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.
