I was in a tight yard and sort of Jack knifed while backing. So after I get done I see the glad hand and the glad hand on the trailer is sheared off. Literally if you take a glad hand and cut it in half. Do you guys know what caused this? Is my fifth wheel to far back? Did I jackknife to hard? What is going on the hose is intact so how could the force shear a steel glad hand?

HOS:

Hours Of Service

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

You would be surprised. I broke an Abloy lock and a dolly handle lol

Our pigtails were changed in the newer trucks and some people strapped them so high that 90 degrees split the electrical connection box in half. Our trucks were recalled after that

I have a big problem with this . Three sets of air lines and two glads hands. I now have three springs on the harness . Ra said how does this keep happening ? I said I don’t know if I did It won’t be happening !
