[QUOTE="MaceFremonti, post: 1450588, member: 36696"] During peak last year one of our guys had an older POS rental. The fifth wheel on this particular rental had a nasty habit of pitching forward when dropping a trailer and staying in that position. You had manually lift up the front of the fifth wheel and rotate it back before you could couple another trailer. One cold and snowy day our driver was at his meet point and had dropped his trailer but he didn't realize his fifth wheel was angled forward. Luckily his outbound load was sitting on a sheet of ice because when he went to back under the trailer the forks of the fifth wheel hit the front of the trailer and BOOM the trailer went sliding backwards about 15 feet! The sound woke up just about every sleeping driver at the truck stop. [/QUOTE]
