[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 2166499, member: 37112"] So who's doing yard certifications that doesn't know how to check for a proper couple? Feeders should be making these moves but once again UPS wants to be cheap and compromise safety. Shifting trailers should be on the feeder schedule. Yard horses rust up sitting outside with little use. Anyway, grease goes [B]on[/B] the fifth wheel. The latching mechanism needs to be lubricated [B]under[/B] the fifth wheel. Get a mechanic to raise the rear of the fifth wheel and spray it good while someone works the latch. When coupling, you can also push the release handle [B]in[/B] after coupling which [B]sometimes[/B] locks the pin. Buy the next Feeder driver a coffee and ask him/her how to check for a proper couple before someone gets hurt. [/QUOTE]
