[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 461396, member: 18471"] Had 2 flat pups a couple of weeks ago, the set was together when I got it, both 100%. I know the front had a lot of Omaha Steaks in it. It felt like the snubber wasn't engaged, (it was). The rear trailer must have been a lot heavier than the front, it was pushing me around. I called dispatch and swapped them in a rest area, drove fine after that. So don't be afraid to do something like that either. It's actually in the contract that you can do that. Also when starting out, don't wind out the lower gears, basically just get the truck moving in 1st or 2nd, (a lot of time you start out in 2nd gear) then shift, as you progress up the gears you can wind the engine more. When you get into high range then you can wind the gears all the way out. Your shifts will be a lot smoother that way. [/QUOTE]
