SCHNEIDER SLIDER!!! FIFTH WHEEL FAIL??

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

When my mom and her second husband were driving from Utah to Pennsylvania about 35 years ago, their vehicle died in the middle of nowhere. A Schneider driver stopped and then gave them a ride to the nearest garage, and made sure they were getting help before he left. I’ve thanked every Schneider driver who has crossed my path ever since.

[@jamescwhitfield]

You are a good teacher

[@davidjones8680]

I like it when we see you do these jobs on your own Ron, your 100% total focus and concentration for the task in hand is a real joy to watch. Keep up the great work. David in the UK.

[@howardjacobs1325]

First time I saw you channel like the way you do things I like your rig and yeah I figured lifting differently too but your voice was a good on nice video enjoyed the content sharp wrecker thanks Ron

[@SherrilWoods-jm6ir]

Amen! You’re about the only channel I watch anymore

Passed by Miller Industries on my way home from Maryland. Multi Multi millions of equipment visible from highway!

[@spexs9118]

Ron, as always, I appreciate your manners and professionalism. I am a supervisor and try to keep it as PG as possible. But, compared to you and your team, I fall short. Stay safe and great work.

[@HappilyHomicidalHooligan]

42:12 For those wondering, the yellow wheeled stand to the left of the trailer Ron is walking towards is a nose support stand that keeps a trailer in dock from falling forwards when being loaded by large, extremely heavy forklifts...

NEVER trust a tug check ALWAYS look at.the jaw’s with a flash light

[@BenKlassen1]

Exactly. Hopefully this driver learns from this.

[@wildbill5126]

Always every time.

[@shaneharrison4775]

That's right over my years otr driving I've had a few that wouldn't trip when the went full back in the catch, and some that wouldn't release too among the best were the oe brockway fifth wheels just had to maintain them. The cheaper pressed metal ones seemed to have more issues before I decided to become more local. And dropped to a B license

[@steves9915]

Nice lift Ron.

[@Truck_person]

Still, can’t blame the driver he did do everything right

[@tundramanq]

Ron, your etiquette finger hanging out makes these the most classy recoveries I have seen. Good for at least a chuckle every time.

[@randallelliott1969]

Good morning everyone …

[@2ftrmike]

Good morning Ron. Thank you for your continued interesting and educational videos. Have a great weekend

[@libby5335]

Very well done, Ron. We are always amazed at how quickly you can assess the situation and come up with a solution. Have a good day and God bless!

[@terrynagle7410]

I always check my jaws. I had a trailer fall off the 5th wheel in the yard. I got the shop guys to see the jaws where still locked. They helped me get it up. Then they turn that big nut in the front. No more lost trailers. Get your 5th checked for play.

[@GrandpaDan51]

Great job Ron. My last job I had before I retired Was driving a yard dog it was nice not having to round the dollies up and down just step out the back door and hook-up the brake lines and get back in and release them and raise the fifth-wheel and take off. Put it were you needed it and put it down unhook and you was done with that one. The only time I had any problems was when someone dropped a trialer and we got some snow and it made it set to low for me to get under it. But we had big Forklift and most of the time if the guy that drove it could get beside it he could lift it up so I could get under it. God bless you. Dan 🇺🇸

[@duffross4252]

Good job Ron , shows that there is alot of different ways to rig a container on a trailer . In the tow truck I drove , we put our different length slings and straps in their own bags . The bags had what they were and lengths wrote on them . Made it alot easier to just get the bag out , with what I needed . Also made the tool boxs look neater . Hopefully it may help you if you hadn't thought of it or considered it previously

[@jerrykinnin7941]

High hitches are common in the container world. Schneider has a pretty good set up on their container trucks. They cut the framehorns back to the last x member and mount the mudflap brackets at 45°. This allows them To set the 5th wheel forward so the steer axle can get 12000 on it And keeps frame strikes down on the chassis. I'd love to do that to my truck. Boss won't let me.

[@memyself7419]

It's about more than just weight. It's also about limiting drag to save fuel.

[@jerrykinnin7941]

@@memyself7419 yep. I'm a "can hauler" as well. My specialty is 20' iso tanks boxes and permitted overweights. on 40' tri axle chassis. Nothing about what I do is aerodynamic I'm ecstatic when I can get 6 mpg. Schneider bobbed rear end and a JB HUNT neck 40' tandem chassis Set up tanker spec light is a dream of mine. 51' 5 axle bridge.

No hello Ron nice work 👍😄

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

16:17 it’s amazing how you can do something safe, and complete it successfully, and people on the internet will still tell you you did it wrong. Lol Good job Ron!

[@code3responsevideos872]

Yea but you assume it was open after the high hook. I’m betting the high hook closed the fifth wheel

[@robertcrossley9803]

Everyone's an armchair critic. Your equipment, you're truck, you're job and your responsibility I think the way you did the job and use of equipment was great. Great video. Thanks for taking the time. He did it his way

[@gorillaau]

Plenty of these armchair critics probably haven't worked in the industry. Also could be jealousy from a rollback operator.

[@burtoncummins8970]

Good morning Ron hope everything is going well. Prayers for your family and all your employees and family. Have a blessed weekend and stay safe

[@mikerowley464]

If everyone did it the same way, it would be boring The best way is the safest way to get the job done. Great video Ron.

[@hlwehlwe7106]

Hi Ron, watching you maneuver with your extended pinkie reminded me of my later grandmother. She was part of a research team in Johannesburg, South Africa, that developed the vaccine for Polio. She was involved in a laboratory incident which resulted in the bones in her pinkie being fused. She always looked so elegant when she drank a cup of tea, I hope your injury heals and gives you full functionality. Keep the videos coming. I enjoy watching your analysis of the situation and then implementing the solution.

[@MattyMatt80]

Watching you work Mr. Ron Pratt. Is like watching a piece of Art. You treat every job with such professionalism, Precision and patience. Its very great to see as a tow recovery operator myself in Beautiful upstate New York. As always great recovery! I always tell the drivers I encounter to check with a flash light then perform the tug test. I’ve recovered a fed ex frieght trailer and tractor that had a similar situation. Job well done Sir!

[@larrytengwall5989]

Don't worry what others say, they weren't yhere doing the left, you were! & you did a great job!

[@Bluelinechevy82]

Good morning Ron and everyone.

[@bryanfoy1288]

Good work, Ron. It might take a while because you’re so safety minded but you and your truck get it done and that’s a good thing being safety minded.

[@user-mg4yw9yc7l]

Yes Sherry I agree on all points. I also enjoyed in the first few moments, when the kid asked "what are you thinking" and then traced the hookup of the lift lines and followed the procedure. I do hope this is mechanical failure, he seemed like a good and sharp lad, either way he learned a lot. 从 m

[@saskiavanwijk6976]

8°😂😂, love your channel and the diversity of your job. Much love from The Netherlands.

[@Samanthareneeheart1]

An interesting turn of events. Glad everyone was OK. It could be driver error or equipment failure either way the trailer didn't stay where it was supposed to & Ron you did it the best way you knew how sir good work.

[@craigpridemore7566]

When you were pulling out rigging I noticed that you checked the weight limit on the straps, even though I'll bet you've got it all memorized. Good professionalism.

[@Underscore11]

Based on what I've seen / with some inferences, Ron seems to have 4 different infinite loop "models", 2 different strengths (which seem to be denoted by color, I know the chains have a similar system), and 2 lengths (8' and 20'). In other videos Ron's reading the labels aloud to check the lengths, so there doesn't seem to be an easy way to check the length at a glance when they're all in a pile in the box (obviously it's immediately apparent if he took them out of the box, but that'd take longer).

[@agentcrm]

@@Underscore11 Straps have either different colours or a different number of stitching lines on them to denote their weight capacities.

[@shanemadden1907]

If I ever end up around your way Ron, my oldest would love to see tator up close. Considering that you’d have time and would allow my 8yo to see your facility. All he talks about is “I want to be a tow operator like Ron”. He knows all the specs of the rotator. And he loves rigging. I bet if you were able to simulate a roll over he could tell you almost exactly how you would rig it up without you giving him any hints/clues. God Bless.

[@wukilla8ee]

I had a high hook the 1st week i was out here on my own. I did a 37 point turn to get the angle of the truck enough where i was able to get kingpin to clear the skid plate. It was diffiicult with no damage but i sure did learn a lesson.

[@dl33tc0dr6]

Like how you made it look so easy to get your line around to the far side. They say top load only for a reason which I know nothing about but you obviously know the equipment far better than I do.

[@18robsmith]

It's all down to the way the container is constructed - when lifting the container on its own the lower points are not stressed for lifting only holding. Ron was using the 5th wheel "pad" to take the load.

[@angelina20161]

Random funny story for ya Ron... Last weekend I needed to buy myself a ladder to finish decorating the bedroom, so off i went to the DIY shop.. i asked one of the shop assistants where the "short ladies helpers" were.. he replied "you must watch Ron too" lmao. worlds a small place sometimes i guess.. what are the odds? had to share!!

[@grimreaper6557]

Awesome lift surprised you didn't bring a helper 😊😊😊😊

[@Grandpa_Stinky]

I like that you thought about using the under reach first. I had this thing happen when I was a spotter. We used the spotter to ease under and lift it. We successfully lifted it, cranked the dolly's down and the original carrier was able to back up underneath it and hook back up. He didnt have a bad 5th wheel, just missed the hook up.

[@larrymercer3448]

Awesome as always! I really enjoy your videos

I have done a high hook and I had to crank on granny speed till I got the king pin high enough to clear then crank back down. Got my heart rate up that day.

[@thatdave86]

With the noise levels it maybe that you camera/microphone is of good quality,as hearing you and those around you with clarity ,means that all noise is picked up . Many KZbinrs of late seem to have poor microphones that won't pick up much more than the person using the camera .
