2:30 Why don't you attach the dolly to the trailer when you're already there with the truck? Am I missing something?

@C2CCorps

The process is 1)place dolly uncoupled in front of rear trailer 2)back lead trailer to dolly 3)couple dolly to lead trailer 4)back trailer dolly combination to hook rear trailer. If you couple the dolly to the rear trailer using only the truck 2 things happen 1)the force of the trailer weight on the dolly makes it virtually impossible to disconnect it from the truck's pintle hook 2)if you do manage to get the dolly unhooked from the truck you would have a very hard time getting the lead trailer in the exact correct position to couple it to the dolly.

It is more difficut to steer the dolly when it is attached to the front trailer. Drivers that do not know how to control the dolly can easily jackknife the dolly and cause serious damage, so many companies do not want drivers backing the dolly behind the trailer more than a few feet.

When connecting to a trailer at a dock, make sure to knock/bang on the trailer before anything to check for loaders. I worked at FedEx for 2 and a half years And there was many times where the truckers hooked up and some even took off with me in the trailer.

I'm not even a truck driver and I watched this whole thing.

This is a great video if you work out of terminals. But if you are heading out with a set of joints full of freight going to some obscure warehouse, the set up may be different. There are a lot of little tricks you need to know. For example, if you are dropping your trailer on a curbed street be sure to drop your trailer with the front of the trailer nosed out from the curb a ways. If you drop it straight against the curb then when you go to back under the trailer it will slide toward the curb because the crown of the road surface will cause the landing gear to slide up against the curb. When that happens your duals will run into the curb and you will never be able to line up the kingpin into the center of the fifth wheel. When that happens you have to call a tow truck ($400.00 in 1974), to come and lift the front of your trailer back away from the curb so you can get under the trailer to hook up. One of several expensive lessons I learned the hard way during my trucking career. Nobody ever told me Jack.

When doing linehaul for FedEx, they just make it too easy! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!

I used to be a DedEx Fround contractor 15 years ago...absolutely the worst....started at 3 pm, sometimes done at 11 pm or 12, and other days, the sun was coming up again...they didn't really care. Get home at 7 am, go to bed so I could wake up and do it all over again. Look at your pay settlement, not much difference between the 2. I never had the guts to do it, but, I always admired the guys who could break doubles by releasing the pintle hook on the dolly and slide it out from under the rear trailer at the same time! It always looked great! Dolly bang the pavement. My luck, it wouldn't come out under the trailer all the way and be stuck up in the air! Also, the guys who can back up doubles, turn them around...that is talent! There just isn't any money in running for $1.40 a mile, I don't care what EdFex does for fuel supplement. Cost of repairs, insurance, tires just keep going up. I have my own authority and haul my own freight. Much better off.

Been pulling these things for over 15 years. You will pick up tips like also putting air to the brakes and cracking open the blue line at the rear to make sure you have sufficient brake air supply there too, especially in the winter because ice can form in the lines and boom no brakes back there. Also to insure you have no air leaks in the brake lines too. There are other tips even when selecting your dolly etc. etc. good video.

I also pull doubles for a FedEx Ground contractor. This is a very good video but I do things a little different. 1. If the dolly chains are long enough they should be crossed. 2. Before hooking my air lines and electrical plug up I make sure the 5th wheel jaws are locked. Then I hook up the air lines and electrical line. 3. When dropping the rear trailer I disconnect all of my air lines to my dolly after pulling the 5th wheel and lowering the landing gear. It does save a little time when pulling the dolly away from the rear trailer because you do not have to sit and wait for the dolly to air up again. Plus some people drop their trailers too high and it can be a pain to lower them.

Back your dolly closer to the rear box. Try moving it the last 5 or 10 feet like he did in the winter. Have fun with that... or even better, back your front box and dolly together onto your rear trailer. makes winter do so much easier.

@C2CCorps

6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your insight! One trick in the winter when you're on fresh snow is to back all the way to the trailer and let the dolly's 5th wheel plate bump the trailer. Then pull forward a couple feet to unhitch the dolly from the tractor. Doing this creates tracks in the snow so you can still move the dolly by hand. Backing the lead trailer and dolly combination to the rear trailer is doable, but you should practice caution when doing this. The dolly can jackknife quickly. Risking damage to the dolly and lead trailer when doing so, so be careful!

@dronning85

6 жыл бұрын

And other issue with backing lead and dolly together, FedEx has these safety bars on a lot of trailers and dollies that put pressure on the pintle hook when air is supplied. This unfortunately makes is hard to maneuver the dolly because it won't turn as freely, you pretty much have to jack knife the trailer to get the dolly to turn. Can't be annoying. With out the safety bar is easy as pie. But it's rare to get a trailer and dolly without this feature.

Never checked the condition of the brakes. Did I miss it? Should always be done as part of the pre-trip. Good video!

The correct tire pressure is so important.

In most places, it is 20k per axle but bridge weight comes in to play so depending on the axle spacing it can be less, usually dolly and trailer can be around 37k together. You would want a heavy truck to pull that much in a pup behing it, and you would want the drive axles as close to the pintle hook to avoit the trailer swinging the truck around too much.

Very cool!

@C2CCorps

You can....the 5th wheel on the truck needs moved back. Since the video, as a company we no longer have single axle trucks and only operate twin screw trucks. If the spacing between the mud flaps of the truck and the landing gear on the trailer is too tight to get in and check jaws, make a hard turn to the right, about 4 feet. This will allow you to look into the jaws from the driver side directly. Due to the position of the truck to the trailer as it will be in a "turning" configuration, you can see the 5th wheel jaws easier.

Versatility. For example; we run from Sioux City to Kansas City and back, but on they way back we pull one Sioux City and one Omaha trailer. We then stop in Omaha on the way back to drop the Omaha trailer, then pickup a trailer that's assigned for Sioux City from Omaha. So Sioux City receives 2 loaded trailers.

Don't be pulling that dolly by the ring. That's a good way to lose fingers or break hands. That's why there are grab irons on the sides
