How To Couple & Uncouple A Semi Tractor-Trailer

[@danstafford5977]

Sometimes the trailer is too low for your fifth wheel to get under... you can deflate your airbags to get under, after you slide under reinflate your airbags... this will pick your landing gear up off the ground... this will make the handle a lot easier to spin.

[@blkcobra03]

Also, when I drop a trailer, before pulling out from under it, I deflate the airbags so then when pulling out, there is NO drop of the trailer as you heard in this video.

[@whatsup24_7]

​@@blkcobra03you didn't hear the trailer slam because she had the landing gear all the way down. What you heard was the 5th wheel popping up when she pulled out

[@agustinmendez7984]

@danstafford5977 what if trailer to high?

[@whatsup24_7]

@@agustinmendez7984 then you lower it.

[@NeshBlessing]

I hope you're doing well. It's been a while since you've uploaded. Is everything okay? An update video would be appreciated by all of us if you can ever find the time for it :)

[@kylemerritt9]

Awesome tutorial of coupling and uncoupling from the trailer. As a newer TA in training, all your videos and vlogs have become very helpful to me and I believe everyone else that watch your videos. Thank you again💯

[@briatrucking]

Great to hear! I am glad they have been helpful :)

[@RachelChristina528Hz]

Getting my CDL Training now. Great Video SIS🌟STAR!!!!

[@danstafford5977]

The trailer has three connections the power lead for the lights... and two Airlines the blue is for the service brake that's your foot pedal... and the red line is to add air to the trailer to release your spring brake.

[@projekteva]

Good video. They never taught me this in CDL school so I have to make sure I do it safely.

[@YoMrRice]

So weird that they only teach you how to pass a test and nothing outside of the test. Even at what I would describe as a "great" school, they showed me the process twice but never once had me do it.

[@Lovepowerandrighteousness]

Their insurance and fear can't cover their costs, tall need faith and Jesus to do anything good

[@jackNimoy]

I’m a week away from starting my CDL training and I’ve been trying to prepare myself for it with reading material and similar youtube content. This was very helpful, thank you 🙏

[@ZengeTube]

You done with the CDL training? How was it?

[@jackNimoy]

@@ZengeTube​​⁠yes I finished in April 2024 it was a bit lacking in my opinion for the $5k price but they still did provide pretty much everything necessary for me to obtain my license which I did with all my endorsements as well with no restrictions. I started new job in May and am working 6 days a week at a local farm in E Oregon

[@StrangeAngel66]

Hey you’re back all right! 👍

[@briatrucking]

Yes :)

[@duncansimmons1849]

I always clear the landing legs from the ground before clicking in and doing a tug test even if just a inch or two so that theres no possibility of torqing on the landing legs and causing damage like i have seen alot of other drivers do

[@Mohsen_Ali9]

By profession I am IT Engineer in GCC country but I love watching trucking channels on KZbin and also subscribed them for their updates but it's more interesting watching tutorials like this and knowing some different knowledge of trucking life.

[@angeletherly5055]

Love to see a woman in action and so calm while working I really appreciate this video

[@freddyfreddy42]

Some guys say leave the landing gear feet like an inch off the ground and then pull away so the next driver could just back right on there and won’t have a gap for the kingpin

[@mickkeeps8077]

Hi Brei I thought its been a while, maybe you and your significant other bought A hooded 96 inch sleeper Bright red Peterbuilt and were running team for Schneider. no ? still rocking 105?

[@briatrucking]

I wish! But definitely still rocking to Live105 🤟🏻

[@johnpaki1534]

Hiya it's been a while, great posting my friend, fyi adjustable tandem airbags if equipped eliminates you from jumping in and out of your truck when hooking up no matter how high or low the trailer is, good to here from you, much love from nz❤

[@briatrucking]

Yes you are correct and thank you. That always comes in handy when the trailer is too heavy 👍

[@johnpaki1534]

Hey I was wondering did you do a tug test?

[@briatrucking]

Always, as everyone should.

[@georgehasler142]

Hi Bria thank you for sharing this information with us I really appreciate all of your videos and as always drive carefully

[@SanchoBerto22]

Welcome back.

[@donweden7199]

You're adorable! And also very knowledgeable...I'm impressed. Best of luck in LTL. God bless.

[@FAK1220]

Hay good to see you back 😊 Your vlogs are always very interesting and helpful to understand about trucking operations. I like the way you cranked up / down the landing gears. Usually for some female drivers that's the tough job to accomplish. All the best & stay well.

[@Evandromk]

Thanks for the video Bria, a Like from my friend from Brazil

Amazing and talented and beautiful ❤️

[@melbertserdan8134]

Hi.your so beautiful. I like your vlog. I learned so much more on coupling and uncompling. I'm also a truck driver..I'm from Philippines working here in new Zealand as a bus driver in the city and mountainous area of Wellington

[@alonsospassion924]

Thanks for the advice and great detail and your very pretty as well best of luck and thank you again

[@joelserrano612]

Thanks for the video.

[@alberthechme4001]

I’m going to school for my CDL now, I’m sorry to ask but aren’t you supposed to hook the lines first before you hook in order to supply air to the trailer to lock the breaks?

[@StephensStudio-1]

Okay, I have watched your video on Coupling & Uncoupling a tractor-trailer. I am a Certified Evaluator & Instructor, and I have driven trucks for almost 50 years. The name you were looking for is a "Pin Puller" to disconnect the 5th wheel. You get the Gist of it, there are many steps you have missed, and the fact you did not drop your airbags, is a No-No when you're Hooking or Unhooking. Don't get complacent with your hooking and unhooking. As for getting under, if you feel that the trailer could fall on you, then I would refuse the trailer, or you hooked up wrong, some how. You need to get under to be sure you are hooked up. It is NOT going to fall on you. Not bad, and I have seen better demonstrations, like I said, you get the Gist of it.

[@EagleMiles]

Did she not also pull away too far.. the trailer was resting on the truck frame. Should it not rest on the rear part of 5 th wheel plate. Just a precaution in case landing gear is weak . And re hooking is required 🤔🤔

[@GeorgeGuci]

Thank you, it was one of the best videos I have seen.

[@Travellingbrownguy]

hi..can you recommend any other schools in the bay area as the one that you mentioned is a little far..from dublin

[@alvinmccray5368]

Talented and beautiful 😍

[@Krispy-3]

Hey Bria thank you for uploading thought you were done with YT your videos have been very helpful giving me much needed insight im currently in week 2 of my training starting the offset backing thank you for all your help. if you have any tips on the offset backing please im all ears! thank you stay safe

[@briatrucking]

I’m happy to hear that my videos have been helpful for you! Offset backing can be tricky, but the key is to not overturn your steering wheel because you can lose sight of the trailer in your mirrors. Always take your time. Your instructor/examiner wants to see that you can back up properly and not by how fast you can finish. I wish you the best of luck!

[@AZWDRDUB]

Do you drop the tractor air bags?

[@moorthi5388]

Very good information thanks you ❤❤

[@chinto6389]

Thank you Bria!

[@alvinmccray5368]

Hello nice video

[@briatrucking]

Thank you :)

[@kz-zj2rt]

Very good teaching

[@henryzhang5602]

when you couple the trailer , after the kingpin was surrounded by the locking jaw. you don’t need to push the release handle,it is automatic. am i right?

[@anthonynavarrete925]

Cool to see you back Bria! Thought you may have moved on from your AFP. If I’m an experienced driver, do they send you out with another driver for training? If so, how many days?

[@briatrucking]

Thank you and yes, even experienced drivers go through 1-2 days of training 👍

[@pauldileo1020]

Hi Bria, Just curious and wanted to know are you working out on the East Coast or the West Coast?

[@andrewdoxa]

Thanks for great information ℹ️

When a truck driver works by mileage, they count only one way or round trip as well.

[@Yosoysmg]

When you got with amazon, did they require experience? ive heard people say they take new cdl holders yet an AFP i contacted told me they require at least 3 months experience. Their job description didnt state any experience as a requirement either lol

[@briatrucking]

Good question! It depends on what freight partner you are looking in to. I came on board with 6 months experience, but I see new drivers as well. Experience can be required or recommended depending on where you are applying.

[@Yosoysmg]

@@briatrucking oh okay, thanks. Yea it seems like the south & the west is more welcoming to new cdl holders. Im in the north east & its required heavily. Im just not interested in doing over the road, salute to you for doing it while going to school lol

[@bc9661]

amazing video. thank u

[@ed.a.4232]

good job >>> Clear and nice your video

[@yacoreyes9459]

Brianna does Amazon tripp if you bring a ride along or is it just a no go cuz your Co. Insurance does not permit it....please let me know. I would appreciate it. Jacob

If they are an employee, yes. If not, then no.

CORRECTION: TUG TEST ...YOU PUT ON YOUR TRAILER BREAK ONLY AND YOU SLOWLY TRY TO MOVE THE TRACTOR FORWARD JUST TO CONFIRM YOUR " TRACTOR" IS ATTACHED.

[@jimkontos4221]

Take the key out of the truck while connecting and disconnect the tractor trailer for safety

[@a87nomsirrah35]

Unnecessary. Both brakes should be set to prevent both vehicles from moving
