Now due to shortage of OTR drivers, way too many either do not speak or understand English or Speak English and no clue about big trucks ! Too many drivers do not under what a differential lock switch is for the tow driver have to tell them!

If they weren't immediately proceeding to a towing job, you should have had them take a chain or strap out of their tractor cab, and strap that down onto the tractor unit in some way. That way, they'd have a backup failsafe if it fell off again, which, given their lack of understanding English properly, would be quite likely if they couldn't figure out the instructions to secure it properly the first time. If the police saw that unit fall off, they'd understand the citation they'd get issued way faster than the level of communication with you that they displayed!

So should they not pull a trailer with the only securement point being the 5th wheel? Your comment seems a little contradicting to how the truck is built to be used, as well as the detachable tow unit. The issue here is, there is a fifth wheel issue causing the jaws to not lock properly. That is why the adjustment nut on the front has a gap between it and the fifth wheel plate.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE If you ever come upon a situation like that with a piece of equipment that you're not intimately familiar with and they don't have a full set of manuals, RUN don't walk away. That setup was far from complete and I'd be afraid that you could potentially expose yourself and your company to liability if they'd caused an accident after you helped them. Personally I would have called CHP and/or DOT to let them know that I had concerns about whether the piece of equipment was complete and/or properly adjusted as well as whether they were qualified to operate it.
