What Do You Do When...

Just slam into the trailer..shell hook.

Well that explains why so many trailers have dented aprons.

1: drop your suspension on tractor.

2: lift the landing gear in low gear just enough so that it clears your frame but not your fifth wheel.

3: back under the trailer so that just your frame is under it. At this point the trailer isn't high enough to be coupled.

4: raise air suspension on tractor and that'll lift the trailer a few good inches off the ground.

5: raise landing gear then unhook from trailer and hook back to it. At this point it'll be tall enough to clear fifth wheel.

Damn Daniel you weren't supposed to give the answer this soon.

Guyjax, you know how to play nice, Daniel darn if you didn't give it away, oh well Ding, ding, schools out. Stay safe everyone.

Since most all the trailers at celadon,I always lower suspension when backing under trailer.The autoshift only has 2 throttle positions, Granny and full power.I watched a hoser in Laredo continually ram into trailer until hooked... funny as heck.
