[QUOTE="City Driver, post: 503787, member: 20145"] im gonna ignore jon frum cuz he obviously sits at a desk in a suit and tie all day a pup can tip.....when landing gear is extremely damaged, even after they pick the trailer up its not gonna sit level at all....its dangerous and like i said then they backed it into the dock and put jacks under it to keep it up, opening it up exposing all of us to the hazards of the trailer well drewed its been disputed a little bit but it seems like she wasnt at fault....she was a driver for a long time and knows what shes doin, but i know we all make mistakes at the meeting that same day she got in front of us all and basically gave a speech saying somethin along these lines- "i just wanna clear something up....none of it was my fault i backed into the trailer and pulled foward a few feet to check the coupling and it held.....then she hooked up the air and lights and lifted it (hydraulic 5th wheel) and when she made her cut the spring that controls the locking jaws on the 5th wheel broke causing the trailer to fall off" and the yard tractor was in the shop for a while after that, i dont doubt her story at all....i also wonder if after it fell off she had time to stop the tractor before she tore the glad hands or anything like that [/QUOTE]
