I agree. I drove OTR for 11 years and then 5 years for local delivery before finally earning a promotion that got me out of trucking. I still maintain a CDL A for “just in case” (still drive in an emergency/employee shortage). I learned very quickly that it’s everyone for themselves out there. I rarely turned on the CB because of all the negativity spewing out of other drivers. I’d rather get stuck in a traffic jam than get advanced warning and detour. That’s how bad it was. I ran into lifelong drivers over 70 years old who were completely in awe of how bad it’s gotten over the past 30 years. I couldn’t wait until I got out. It really takes a special kind of personality with extreme patience to deal with all of the over regulations from federal DOT and the drivers like this who are so bored and twisted that they have nothing better to do than mess with other drivers.

I offered to buy his breakfast and coffee for moving back for me. He said it was all good and he was going to roll out in 15 min anyway. Well when i inspected my truck after a nap i saw that he had put an armored abloy lock on my trailer with a note cusing me for bothering him. I actually remembered his company name and truck # from talking to him and about 6 months later i saw him in the same truckstop. Well while he was asleep i pulled his valve cores on all his tires (all 18 of them) and left the lock peices hanging in a bag on his mirror so he would know why it happened. The lock ended up costing me around $100 to remove it ( had to buy a grinder, extension chord, and grinding wheels) but cost him a lot more.

I used to drive truck years ago. Two simple rules to live by are; whenever you leave your truck for any reason and for any length of time, do a walk around inspection. No exceptions. Second rule; the first gear you always put your truck into is reverse with the trailer brakes set, then forward with trailer brakes still set to test the kingpin connection. The guy who pulled the kingpin is a real jerk, but the driver should have known better. I'm sure he learned his lesson after this.

Think they know everything, done everything, done it better than everyone else, yet when you see them on the road, their the ones with the road rage, speeding 10 - 20 mph over the speed limit cutting people off, forcing people out of a lane just because he wants to, carrying 2 -3 different log books so they can drive when they want to, popping pills to stay awake for an entire week cause that loads gotta get there.

Yeah, we (cops and I) caught someone who did this to me. He pulled the kingpin AND tandems, all caught by the left mirror camera. Idiot even posed for the two dash cams (one normal full HD, one wide-angle full HD, blinking red record LED and blue transmit LED), demonstrating his limited imagination in giving the single finger salute for several minutes, making finding him on the 64 GB chips quite easy. He told the female cop he was angry seeing a woman doing a man's job. Not to terribly bright, and a few fries short of a Happy Meal. Arrested for driving with a revoked CDL and criminal mischief. Cameras do not lie, have no bias or malice, and are a trucker's best friend. So is a quick walk-around VI whenever away from visual range of your rig, after a nap, etc. It's how I spotted the problem in the first place. It is sad to see this still goes on, even after more than 6 years involuntarily retired from the road (crippled by my last company). Y'all be safe out among the Idiot Factor.

Brian Krian it absolutely can be an act of terrorism. There are trucks carrying all manner of hazardous materials. Ranging from poison to radioactive to flammable to explosive. You can sometimes pull a released trailer for a few miles before it slides off. Imagine a tanker full of gasoline coming off in the middle of traffic at highway speeds. Then tell me that's not an act of terrorism after seeing an explosion like that.

The old New Braunfels TA. I've been there a few times. Had my first "backing" accident there in 2004 but I was the one that got backed into. I just HAD to park next to a KNIGHT trailer (with no truck) and a few hours later after I went to sleep the driver came in and for some reason did not look to see if he was lined up with his trailer and backed right into my truck. He was very remorseful. We just took info, made our calls to our companies and that was it. There was minor damage to my rig but it was drive-able so I drove it back to my company the next day. No retaliation, no cussing each other out, no fights; just handling a situation professionally like we are suppose to do. I guess that wasn't very exciting was it? Probably won't get any comments for this.

I drove for 17 years and was a road instructor for a truck driving school I always taught to set your trailer brake, pull forward with the tractor and set the tractor brake. When you come back out you should do a walk around of the truck anyway. Air lines are good, look at the fifth wheel lock handle make sure it is in, landing gear is up, thump the tires, check the lights clean if needed, make sure your tag is still there on the back of the trailer, and check the back door making sure the seal is still there if you have one. It takes no more than 5 min tops.

People could (and have) died when trailers have disconnected.
@thefiascogarage32156 років тому
I'm just glad it didn't come apart on the road, because that would have the possibility to kill people. That guy in the Mack needs to be brought up on serious charges and he'll be easy enough to find if he was getting fuel. Set your trailer brakes and bind the fifth wheel release mechanism if you are going to be away from your tractor. He's at the least needing a Heavy Duty lift to set the landing gear to height, new glad hands, and a Phillips block for the lights. Maybe more than that. Minimum bill? $2300 if there is a local shop that has his parts inventoried. That could be a lot steeper depending on the area. This guy might have cleared anywhere from $500-$1500 for this load depending on if he is an owner/operator or how he is getting paid from his company. Which sucks, but it is a learning experience for the rest of us. Realistically, the driver should have walked around his rig because of the idiots that tend to populate this world. I've heard similar stories from a lot of truckers, but most had to do with co-workers that had a gripe. I don't even have my CDL, but my Pap was a Trucker and I've helped a lot of people cover miles to make it back to where they are needed because of what I learned from him as a kid. I have the utmost respect for the industry that barely sleeps and I can still change a 24.5 inch tire by myself in under a minute with only a hammer and a spoon. Take a minute to check your hub oil on your pre-trip inspection as well. We just had duals come off and kill a guy in my area that was just sitting in a restaurant eating breakfast. These idiots don't realize what can happen on the road. If you are reading this, please have a safe trip and get back to what and where you are working for like you left.

@rangerst_8705 років тому
You my friend, are an IDIOT! These connections are designed to pop apart when the trailer comes off. That is why they are called BREAKAWAY connections. $2300?? You do realize that EVERY trailer has low and high range landing gear cranks? All he has to do is start cranking to raise it up again. Once he is backed up under it, he can switch to high range and raise the landing gear. And even if one of the connections broke, the hoses are only $90 for a pair, and the wiring harness is $75 and has plugs at both ends so its a fast swap. He MIGHT pay $100 in shop labor, and ANY wrecker worth a shit can pick up the trailer and it only cost $200-300. All they will do is slide a chain around the king pin and stretch it to the front of the trailer and onto the hook, then start lifting it up. Once it is up high enough, the driver can put the gear in high range since the landing gear has no load on it, and spin them down to the ground. All done.
@jasonlisonbee5 років тому
I know I don't have the experience to dispute the rest, but I'd love to watch someone change a 24.5" tire in under a minute with only a hammer, spoon and no help. It'd better be a semi truck tire and not a bicycle tire; which I also doubt can be done close to that fast.

After reading some of the comments and confessions in them I'm glad I never did end up going for my CDL. It was something wanted to do since I was about 3 years old and asked my dad what a person has to do to become a trucker because I loved being on long drives so much. I decided I was certain I wanted to do a few months after getting my regular driver's license, once I got comfortable driving on all kinds of roads, driving conditions, etc. Turns out I'm a pretty good driver. Statistics say so anyway. I've been licensed since I turned 16 (learner's permit at 15 and a half but friends were teaching me to drive off road since age 12), I'm 39 now and I've never been in an accident with another vehicle, not even as a passenger. I've driven all over the USA. I love to drive, love long road trips, especially spontaneous ones. I've moved across country a few times hauling everything in large moving trucks and towing vehicles up to the size of a SUV or minivan behind, through the mountains a few times (in heavy fog, sleet and snow at least once). I bought all the study guides for the CDL on my own and they weren't cheap in the late 1990's before there was a serious shortage for C D L drivers. I imagine they can be snagged for practically nothing to free nowadays, illegally if nothing else, but I bet there are plenty companies willing to pay for & train people that will sign a contract for employment with them these days? I've owned ~15 vehicles (1-2 at a time, not all at once) of various kinds -from sports cars to custom vans. I think I would have made a decent CDL driver, but most of all I always thought I would enjoy it. From time to time I've regretted never having followed through on it, but I had 4 kids over the last 17 years and as a mom, it just didn't seem right to do. I think I'm over it now though. I don't think I'll ever "romanticize" it in my mind like I used after seeing how easily other truck drivers who should know better and understand the dangers and hardships more than regular drivers (I was already aware of how they mostly unknowingly, foolishly put truck driver's lives at risk all day everyday), but to come to find out how often it is that truckers will use their knowledge against one of their own instead of sticking together is disappointing. Could you imagine the force to be reckoned with y'all could be if you had one another's backs like the gangs in blue do? I don't care how stupid some trucker was, you shouldn't be sabotaging their shit. Teach them a lesson in brotherhood and teach them the right way, don't stoop to their level, bring them up to yours. Have pride in what you do. Make others respect what you do. Shit. You really could have some serious power if you all stuck together. When I was little we had a C.B. radio in my dad's van and we would go on road trips and talk to the truckers. They were so funny, and sounded like they were having such fun just chatting with people (often strangers) passing by. So friendly back then. I guess times have changed. You guys let the youth come in and change the game. You should have schooled them. Is it too late? I'm up too late. I can't rant on anymore. I wish you all super safe travels.

Pulling the is the most cowardless, worse move you can make. I think anyone getting caught doing it should lose cdl and get jail time. But he must of really pissed him off to do that.

If you loose sight of your truck always back up and bump the kingpin! Yes there are people out there that will do this!

That's always been a dirty trick. I had my fifth wheel pulled once, I caught it though. Since then I always put a little tension on it whenever I parked.

I find it telling ( of a truckers intelligence ) when they bitch about drivers pulling in front of them and cry about how long it takes to stop while they find no problem with tailgating a car that is not exceeding the speed limit to their sanctification.

I hope he found him. That kind of shit is a great way to get your drain plug cracked loose. Gravity normally takes care of the rest.

This is why I try to remember to check mine every time I get back in the truck. Don’t always but after seeing this I’m going to be more vigilant.

JB Hunt, or SWIFT? I never had anybody pull my 5th wheel, but there have been times someone opened my trailer doors.

OMG! What a jerk!!! This is why over the years I always would set my trailer brakes, pull tension on the trailer, then set the tractor brakes. What a complete jerk!!!

When I was truck driving that never happened to me because after being away from the truck for a while I would always look to see if the handle had been pulled before getting in. That's the way to avoid this from happening!

I usually take a look to make sure no clown pulled mine.
