[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 2166756, member: 52978"] Sometimes hub supervisors raise the trailers up a little bit to encourage more and faster flow=better numbers for him. Possibly the supervisor who is doing the shifting isn't aware, since he probably wasn't certified on the proper procedures. Angle shouldn't matter. You can hook up at a 90 degree angle to the trailer if need be. Those 5th wheels DO need maintenance from time to time, like beech said. They do wear out over time, and they do build up grease inside the jaws as well as the tongue depressor can come loose(not sure what it's called) and interfere with a clean couple. Thing is, most mechanics would rather sandpaper a wildcat's :censored: in a phone booth than work on a 5th wheel. [/QUOTE]
