I’m amazed that you don’t attempt to pull against the trailer to make sure you are in fact locked securely before completing your hookup? In addition, their stacked this way so as not to exceed the legal height limit!
It's to keep the height down, lower landing gear on 2 trailer levels it out. Should have something under feet so it doesn't scratch trailer floor and it also helps it from walking.
WHAT A WAIT OF TIME AND MONEY!! I've stacked an unstacked trailers just like that many times, using an equipment ramp, all by myself!! No forks lifts, No extra drivers, No extra helpers!! I could pull in, stack 3 trailers, strap them down, an be out of the yard in an hour!! All in the know how!!
SD. Your missing their point; YT is all about drama. If you videoed your way, whoed watch? What would be even neeter, is a truckstop cowboy with his chain drive wallet, his ten gallon hat and don’t forget the belt buckle, always driving with the jake brake on. Boy!!id 💰 pay to see that 😂 lol
I use to work in the yard at a trucking company and I would throw chains on the top trailer and tie it down before lifting it up on the transport trailer. 4cross chains pre trailer. Then three straps over both trailers and those aren’t going anywhere. Easier then climbing up on the third trailer and doing it plus it’s much safer !! You can have as much over hang in the front of Trailer as you want just make sure you can turn without hitting the cab. It’s the back over hang and sides you have to worry about ! I am surprised they don’t have a fork lift that can handle two trailers at once.
Stacking them opposite to each other is also more stable and you Possition the landing gear to lower where a cross frame is on the bottom trailer. So you don't damage decks. Cross chain and haul. We would stack trailers from pipe stringing in Northern Canada for 50 years. Part of real world hauling
What's up with all the Coronado cabs on the ground in the background and what about the 3 black matching Century's parked at the entrance to the trailer yard? Possible video ideas: A tour of the facility/yard(s) Videos on used trucks/trailers that are for sale.
We might just do that in the near future! The 3 Century’s you are referring to are from Penske Racing, That’s a restoration project that we will be doing soon.
At my work we use dual 5T overheads to stack empties going between branches..... that means somebody gets to climb up to hook/unhook the chains. even though the trainers are stable at rest, its still creepy feeling.
There is a way easier way to stack flatbed trailers. We had outside loading dock where we back a trailer into dock. Then back a trailer on to that trailer, now you have a 2 stack. Pull them out of dock and back your 3rd trailer into dock. Then back your 2 stack onto 3rd trailer in dock. Simple and safer than lifting trailers by forklifts.
It definitely felt a lot more sketchy than what it became at the end. When it was all done, we thought “well, that wasn’t near as bad as what we thought”. But we’ve never seen it done before either. lol
Another set of death traps on there way. I honestly can not believe you put i Beams tubes ect on a trailer with no head board. Accident or an emergency stop and the loads in the cab with you, or is that why you have 140 inch sleeper pods and stretch frame tractor units so it stops before the driver.
Probably should have clarified I’ve never driven a class 8 with a trailer. Use to hot shot all over with a gooseneck trailer just not with a big rig. lol.
if y'all build a simple ramp, this could be done without forklifts. back one trailer to the ramp. Back one onto the ramp push it on the first one, then pull that one on the ramp and back it on the 3rd trailer. Voila! no forklifts needed.
Brand new trailers but using a cab with out full mud gards on the rear then driving on a chipped yard? Rooky mistake there and a lack of care for your custmers and my trailers they haven't even took delivery of
Love the videos but please less of your faces and more of the trucks. This video would have been way cooler if you didn't time lapse the entire process and focus on your faces for 90% of the video.
@@Joe_Lip LOL! that’s been a constant point of debate between me and Brian. More of us, or more of the trucks? More of both? Less of both. More than anything, we want everyone to enjoy the videos so we greatly appreciate the feedback.
@@Tafitzy I'm by no means a pro at making videos but I'd say mix it up. You guys definitely have some knowledge and good content to offer the viewers but just keep in mind we can still hear you talking even if the camera isn't on you.

That was so cool. Love seeing this different stuff that I’d never gotten to see before.
The reason why they stagger the trailers with the landing gears down is not because it will be going up Hill is because they can't be over height
Watching from Australia, can we have a full facility tour please. Cheers.
That’s an interesting concept. Can’t say I dislike the idea! Going to work on that one.
Thanks for the idea!
Anyone else think that guy was bruce wilson at 1:54?😂

nice trailers
This would be definitely my dream job, move new trucks and trailers!!
I use to bring stacks of flatbeds from the Great Dane factory to dealers.
It looks very cool guys wear to go looks great keep going my brother

Big fan of MAC trailers. We use a few of they're tankers.
you mean a mac ltt
@@ghostrider115 yes
Never seen that done before. Thanks
When I worked for schneider used to do this all the time with one big red forklift. Pretty easy once you get used to it.

You guy's have so much property, you're your own town. LMFAO

What about showing how you stack deck trailer's
Could we get a tour of your whole facility damn its masive???
Very nice trailers
If they dont rotate them the end where the axles are would be too tall.
2:23 , no tug on the 5th wheel pin? never trust even a new truck and trailer...
should back to the 5th wheel pivot point and charge the air also and not just rely on the spring brake
at the trailer shop im at we call a big rig towing company to load and unload them
It’s like stacking binders to me.
Didn’t think of it like that but your exactly right! 🤔
GREAT VIDEOS..GUYS...
All you need is a front end loader with forks and reverse load them up. Did it all the time when I was flatbedding. It is not that special!! 😂👍
It definitely felt a lot more sketchy than what it became at the end. When it was all done, we thought “well, that wasn’t near as bad as what we thought”. But we’ve never seen it done before either. lol
@@Tafitzy it is a lot harder with 2 forklifts verse 1 front end loader.
Good job like you're work.
You guys did inspections? What happened with clearance light on the front trailer?
I haul precast we do this all the time but they stack them with cranes no one likes hauling them lol
safety fast gyze
Were those Kenworth 660s sitting down by the new trailers are they gliders
No. They are a group of used units traded in on new Peterbilts. They are for sale if your interested.
Does your tractor head have use DEF fuel??
I always stack my b trains but not that way I back the lead trailer on top of the pup one man job
Why no trailer headboards are they going to be converted?
They make so many configurations, they very depending on application. You can get one with a headboard though.
Plus if you unload from a dock they have to be staggered
How can I get some apparel
We will have some soon (month or so)
@@SEMICasualShow I was talking about the Fitzgerald apparel
What's the deal with the T660's?
Used trucks for sale if your interested.
Looks like Fitzgerald’s?
Excuse my ignorance. But why do the trailers have a bow to them?
They are designed this way so Once the trailer is loaded they flatten out.
lots easier to take off!

"I sell trucks"; "l've never driven truck n trailer ". And your called Fitzgerald, time to get trained up.

Need to get a loading block so you can just back em on
What’s a new trailer go for?
Depends of how you want it, but we have them starting around 35k
Was hear

Why do they look bent
These trailers are built this way, once they are loaded the trailer will flatten out.
Did daddy pay for all this? Yep
That's not how you pull thiples
one boring viedo
