[QUOTE="MaceFremonti, post: 1653708, member: 36696"] It has been almost TWO years since I have gotten 5th wheel grease on myself..... So today at NEWPA I have a shifter spot a dolly for me since I am in a rental. When I pretrip it I notice a ton of 5th wheel grease all over the glad hand seals and air lines. No big deal. I make a mental note to be aware of it. Fast forward three hours later when my lead trailer finally inbounds. I get all hooked up and lo amd behold no lights on the back trailer. I fiddle with the electric line connection on the rear box and BOOM! I have lights. Hooray! I walk back to my tractor and get a zip tie to shim the plug. As I reach up and redo the connection in the back of my head I hear "...5th wheel grease..." just as the air lines slide down the whole left side of my body! Took me a good half hour to clean all the grease off my shirt, pants, and arm! As I am walking back from the bathroom I run into another one of our drivers that go to NEWPA. He points at my uniform, laughs, and says, "Still a rookie!" I just nod my head and grin. [/QUOTE]
