[QUOTE="City Driver, post: 609680, member: 20145"] what does it take to get equipment fixed? i was in the yard alot today, jockey trucks......we use 3, 1 is actually nice and newer......... but the rest are junk.......the one i was in today has a horrible air leak.....i mean bad......every single time i would back into a door i would have to stop to build air presure before i could pull out i understand if i didnt use the brake so much it wouldnt be bad.....but thats not a sacrifice im willing to make, i shouldnt have to do that, in my opinion when backing up its best to go as slow as possible so if u do bump a trailer u wont do any damage i had to put a pup between 2 vans once and lost so much air pressure that the wheels locked up twice before i could even get it in and the other one, the 5th wheel platform raises and lowers by itself.....so when u pick up a trailer and raise it a few inches like normal, as u drive it goes up all the way, and they go pretty high it dumps freight everywhere they refuse to fix either of these trucks and im getting tired of driving them......i know most jockey trucks have this problem but on these 2 trucks the mirrors shake so bad they are absolutely worthless, whether u are on the fuel off it or on the brake they serve no purpose at all we have a huge shortage of vans so they strip 12-15 vans per night and put the freight onto our already way to small dock......and dont even get me started on our city tractors sorry had to rant.....i guess im done now [/QUOTE]
