Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! I hope my viewers are enjoying the new 4K videos!!! Today, I take our flagship Peterbilt 389-X, Miller Industries, Century 1150R heavy rotator towing and recovery unit #11 to assist a customer who is having a little trouble with their fifth wheel. When the driver pulls away after performing his tug test, the trailer drops off the truck during the turn. Thankfully, it was at slow speed. Containers are always trouble for towing and recovery companies and this one proves to be no different. There is a reason they are called "wrecker killers". None of that here, though and no injuries. Just a slight little leaning problem to solve. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

When my mom and her second husband were driving from Utah to Pennsylvania about 35 years ago, their vehicle died in the middle of nowhere. A Schneider driver stopped and then gave them a ride to the nearest garage, and made sure they were getting help before he left. I’ve thanked every Schneider driver who has crossed my path ever since.

Exactly. Hopefully this driver learns from this.

@shaneharrison4775 Год назад

That's right over my years otr driving I've had a few that wouldn't trip when the went full back in the catch, and some that wouldn't release too among the best were the oe brockway fifth wheels just had to maintain them. The cheaper pressed metal ones seemed to have more issues before I decided to become more local. And dropped to a B license

42:12 For those wondering, the yellow wheeled stand to the left of the trailer Ron is walking towards is a nose support stand that keeps a trailer in dock from falling forwards when being loaded by large, extremely heavy forklifts...

@terrynagle7410 Год назад

I always check my jaws. I had a trailer fall off the 5th wheel in the yard. I got the shop guys to see the jaws where still locked. They helped me get it up. Then they turn that big nut in the front. No more lost trailers. Get your 5th checked for play.

@jerrykinnin7941 Год назад

High hitches are common in the container world. Schneider has a pretty good set up on their container trucks. They cut the framehorns back to the last x member and mount the mudflap brackets at 45°. This allows them To set the 5th wheel forward so the steer axle can get 12000 on it And keeps frame strikes down on the chassis. I'd love to do that to my truck. Boss won't let me.

@memyself7419 Год назад

It's about more than just weight. It's also about limiting drag to save fuel.

@jerrykinnin7941 Год назад

@@memyself7419 yep. I'm a "can hauler" as well. My specialty is 20' iso tanks boxes and permitted overweights. on 40' tri axle chassis.

@jamescwhitfield 2 месяца назад

You are a good teacher

@Gaunt596 Год назад

Hmm. not to speculate too much, or call the driver a liar there, but that nice curved path in the grease seems to indicate that the trailer was sitting on top of the 5th wheel when it fell off the side. Mistakes happen though, just part of being human.

@duffross4252 Год назад

Good job Ron , shows that there is alot of different ways to rig a container on a trailer . In the tow truck I drove , we put our different length slings and straps in their own bags . The bags had what they were and lengths wrote on them . Made it alot easier to just get the bag out , with what I needed . Also made the tool boxs look neater . Hopefully it may help you if you hadn't thought of it or considered it previously

@hlwehlwe7106 Год назад

Hi Ron, watching you maneuver with your extended pinkie reminded me of my later grandmother. She was part of a research team in Johannesburg, South Africa, that developed the vaccine for Polio. She was involved in a laboratory incident which resulted in the bones in her pinkie being fused. She always looked so elegant when she drank a cup of tea, I hope your injury heals and gives you full functionality. Keep the videos coming. I enjoy watching your analysis of the situation and then implementing the solution.

Everyone's an armchair critic. Your equipment, you're truck, you're job and your responsibility I think the way you did the job and use of equipment was great. Great video. Thanks for taking the time. He did it his way

@gorillaau Год назад

Plenty of these armchair critics probably haven't worked in the industry. Also could be jealousy from a rollback operator.

@GrandpaDan51 Год назад

Great job Ron. My last job I had before I retired Was driving a yard dog it was nice not having to round the dollies up and down just step out the back door and hook-up the brake lines and get back in and release them and raise the fifth-wheel and take off. Put it were you needed it and put it down unhook and you was done with that one. The only time I had any problems was when someone dropped a trialer and we got some snow and it made it set to low for me to get under it. But we had big Forklift and most of the time if the guy that drove it could get beside it he could lift it up so I could get under it. God bless you. Dan 🇺🇸

@bryanfoy1288 3 месяца назад

Good work, Ron. It might take a while because you’re so safety minded but you and your truck get it done and that’s a good thing being safety minded.

@craigpridemore7566 Год назад

When you were pulling out rigging I noticed that you checked the weight limit on the straps, even though I'll bet you've got it all memorized. Good professionalism.

@Underscore11 Год назад

Based on what I've seen / with some inferences, Ron seems to have 4 different infinite loop "models", 2 different strengths (which seem to be denoted by color, I know the chains have a similar system), and 2 lengths (8' and 20'). In other videos Ron's reading the labels aloud to check the lengths, so there doesn't seem to be an easy way to check the length at a glance when they're all in a pile in the box (obviously it's immediately apparent if he took them out of the box, but that'd take longer).

@agentcrm Год назад

@@Underscore11 Straps have either different colours or a different number of stitching lines on them to denote their weight capacities.

@dinglbob5438 Год назад

Hey Ron, do you think the boom cam will make an appearance anytime soon? Appreciate customers come first of course so it may not be practicable to get set up. Enjoying your videos from this side of the pond! 🇬🇧 😎👍

@user-mg4yw9yc7l Год назад

Yes Sherry I agree on all points. I also enjoyed in the first few moments, when the kid asked "what are you thinking" and then traced the hookup of the lift lines and followed the procedure. I do hope this is mechanical failure, he seemed like a good and sharp lad, either way he learned a lot. 从 m

Watching you work Mr. Ron Pratt. Is like watching a piece of Art. You treat every job with such professionalism, Precision and patience. Its very great to see as a tow recovery operator myself in Beautiful upstate New York. As always great recovery! I always tell the drivers I encounter to check with a flash light then perform the tug test. I’ve recovered a fed ex frieght trailer and tractor that had a similar situation. Job well done Sir!

If I ever end up around your way Ron, my oldest would love to see tator up close. Considering that you’d have time and would allow my 8yo to see your facility. All he talks about is “I want to be a tow operator like Ron”. He knows all the specs of the rotator. And he loves rigging. I bet if you were able to simulate a roll over he could tell you almost exactly how you would rig it up without you giving him any hints/clues. God Bless.

@jimmarshall2757 Год назад

I’ve seen this so often, the drive attempts to couple too low, the king pin slides over the 5th wheel plate and drops over the front edge of the plate, he then does a tug test and it feels solid, as soon as he turns, the king pin slides around the plate and off comes the trailer. You will always find a shiny score mark on the 5th wheel plate where the king pin has been dragged across the plate. 🇺🇸🇬🇧👍

@Grandpa_Stinky Год назад

I like that you thought about using the under reach first. I had this thing happen when I was a spotter. We used the spotter to ease under and lift it. We successfully lifted it, cranked the dolly's down and the original carrier was able to back up underneath it and hook back up. He didnt have a bad 5th wheel, just missed the hook up.

@dl33tc0dr6 Год назад

Like how you made it look so easy to get your line around to the far side. They say top load only for a reason which I know nothing about but you obviously know the equipment far better than I do.

@18robsmith Год назад

It's all down to the way the container is constructed - when lifting the container on its own the lower points are not stressed for lifting only holding. Ron was using the 5th wheel "pad" to take the load.

I had a high hook the 1st week i was out here on my own. I did a 37 point turn to get the angle of the truck enough where i was able to get kingpin to clear the skid plate. It was diffiicult with no damage but i sure did learn a lesson.

nice job here in New Zealand we have twist lifters for containers that go into outside and end twist lock blocks and lock in they come as a pair ie left and right the lock part is the same shape as the hole it goes into they are used by cranes knuckle boom trucks and swinglift trucks and recovery very simple and easy to use
