Axel, if you put a mountain dew bottle 10 feet in front of the tarp, he wouldn't end up too far to the left side. All you have to do is back around with the front trailer axle. I would do that myself sometimes , just so I would know for sure where the trailer is in relationship to the hole. He did a great job, and number of backs don't count anymore, but the number of hits do! So many people worry about how long/how many backs, hey backs are free, hitting someone is what costs.

what is the reason for dumping the air while backing up ?
@DRTY3RD4 жыл бұрын
Sharper turning radius--or backing radius, lol. Spread axle trailers don't turn or corner near as true as closed tandems due to the friction on that front axle; the pivot point is actually on the rear axle. Dumping the air on the rear axle puts the pivot point on the front axle to help shorten the radius--but if you're not careful you can cut a corner too sharp. I ran with TMC for four years; haven't had a dump axle valve since, but when I did have one it did save my behind a few times.

Also spend hours and hours waiting to load steel. I switched to reffers. No touch, good pay and very little waiting. Also, TMC like Swift, Warner, Cr England and a few others is mostly new drivers. Ya gotta earn your stripes somewhere though. But I would recommend a dry van or refer company. Tarping in high winds or the dead of winter is a killer.

DMVs aren't creating a culture of safety. If they want to focus on safety, unlimited GOALs. They should allow as many pull ups in a ratio to trailer size. 53 ft trailer / half or more. 1 GOAL and 1 Pull Up just add unnecessary stress and are not realistic. I spent the last 4 weeks doing backing manuevers from 8AM until 6PM, an extra pull up or two prevents stress, increased accuracy/confidence and decreased cones hit. Better to measure 10 times and cut once...

Step 2: pull in alongside at the end, effectively making a new unauthorized parking place (that probably blocks in a few guys parked perpendicular in marked spots from being able to pull out) because you're too lazy to back into any of the 25-50 spots still available. #3: Repeat until there are at least 3 guys per row parked illegally. #4: if you are a flatbedder, just park where ever you feel like it (curb, fuel island, street, travel lane, etc. Because flatbedders are Super Special and Very Important conceited Drivers that don't have to follow any rules. 😎
