One thing I like to do with the air ride dolly is hook the air lines up to the lead trailer. I keep my trailer brakes released after backing under my rear trailer. I leave the trailer brakes in and just connect the back air lines on the dolly to my rear. That way I don’t have to go back to the truck till I’m ready to roll.

I know the Columbus yard when I see it! I was out of Perrysburg up north. Safety tip - Cross your chains from the dolly to the lead trailer instead of just hooking them straight. What it essentially does is prevent the tongue of the dolly from touching the ground if it somehow disconnected from the lead trailer.

Great video driver! I drove for a contractor out of Rialto CA a couple years ago but i ended up getting sick and had to get off the road..i was lucky enough to have had a dedicated route going from the rialto yard to tacoma WA. Three loops a week ..great miles..but i did run wild for the first 6 months the last time i stepped food at the ohio terminal the drivers lounge was being remodeled..it felt good seeing your video lord knows how much i miss driving! Stay safe driver and hammer down!

Used to be plenty of parking, all that is out there now are the solar drivers, nobody can drive all night anymore, the new breed has to park up before 5:00 pm, and that's why you can't find a parking spot anywhere.

First day driving apparently. Trucks park like that everywhere, get used to it or hang it up. Lot was most likey full by the time they got there and that was the only option. I really hope your driving is 100% by the book, following every rule to the T. Out here calling people a dummy for what? Maybe next time you should give up your space for another driver. Then you won't be bothered by another drivers parking. Or maybe just STFU and worry about your own rig.

Dragging a trailer loaded with the landing gear down will do it everytime. Some people seem to have the idea you have to drag a trailer halfway across a parking lot to tug test it.

Little tip..always underhook those chains..and a quick way to visually see the plunger lock against the pintle is to leave your air supplied to trailer when hooking up. Turn your lead air on and you can see it visually lock.

Well as someone that has loaded and unloaded a few trailers it is nice to have it kind of level with the floor. It sucks to have to drop down into a trailer and going up hill isn't much better. That does look a bit high. Hard to tell from outside and without a good shot at the dock
