Who lowers the landing gear?
leemcabee said:I agree. Touch the ground then 1 full turn in high gear. Too many times I see the "1 inch" thing end up with the handle jammed against the upper floor frame.
fedex says to leave them an inch from the ground and dump the air but i also see some jacka$$ cranking them as far down as they can.
Overton said:We had a driver apprentice who thought you had to crank the trailer over the 5th wheel like you lift a trailer tounge off the ball of your pickup truck hitch.:nono_h4h:
After most of us got to witness it, ( at his expense ) he was instructed on a much easier way.How did that work out? ;)

that's from leaving space dropping a heavy loaded trailer. People who think dropping loaded and empty trls are the same are idiots. Leave an inch or two on a 24k lbs air ride trl and you'll need a hostler to get back under it if it's not unloaded where it sits.I swear some people think the proper way to drop a trailer out is to leave 4 inches below the feet, so that way the next driver has to crank the trailer up and sweats to death.
