Defective 5th wheels on yellow dollies.
Lately I've been hearing of a bunch of dropped trailers around the company because of these Holland brand 5th wheels coming uncoupled after the driver has driven sometimes 100's of miles.
Recently I heard down in Cincinnati that a driver has been fired for dropping one after the garage had determined that there was a problem (defect) with this unit.
Can anyone else share their information on here about anyone else going through this & how to protect his or her job. What to look for, problem signs.
I've asked many different mechanics & received many conflicting instructions on what to look for. Especially concerning the adjustment bolt sticking out the front.
