    We do the same thing at p& g locations. If the drop for the trailer is straight through we go for it. Makes it a lot easier, just watch out for the shunters.
    I have been driving commercial truck for over 30 years.
    One thing I would recommend don't put your head underneath to check to see if the pin is locked. Your face-to-face with an air bag and a tire. Instead take a flashlight stand back where the crank handle is. Then u can easily see if the bar is across the pin.

      I pulled through when it was available. Just made it safer for everyone IMHO.
      Just do it slow and pay attention . We are the professionals.
      And I agree with the commenter who advised. Don’t crawl under and put your face so close to the airbags. Use a small flashlight, and look from the crank area.
      This is the was my father taught me, and when I went to CDL school. They were very safety conscious.
      Thanks for the videos.

    I love that DC. There’s a Love’s right by it. Need to stop and weigh or fuel or whatever, it’s not out of the way.
    Plus (at least last summer) they were giving out “Summer packs” to the drivers with trail mix and water. Can’t go wrong there.

    One of a few things I've noticed is for the most part you guys go in and out of some really decent places. High end. Even the paper mills are well organized. That trailer you just picked up is a little bit older than many I've seen lately. Older "" pull the handle to slide the tandems "" set up on it. Safe travels and God bless you both.

    I think Walmart loads are probably one of the easiest loads in all of trucking if you’re talking to and from distribution centers although I’ve never done a live load at a Walmart actually I take that back I’ve done live on Loads. They have taken five hours but that was kind of a rare occurrence, I think, but I think drop and hook Walmart distribution centers are probably the easiest loads and all of trucking without a doubt take your time and enjoy the peace
