[QUOTE="Rick Ross, post: 2818654, member: 51847"] 1) Back to the dolly first, they should have been post-tripped so most will be good to go. 2) 4-ways should already be on when on the yard. Hand valve can't be pulled unless hooked to trailer with air applied. Also, it's a pintle hook. 3) chock wheel with electric cord if needed. 4) couple to lead and pretrip trailer. Back to dolly and apply parking brake...that is all ups wants us to use. No need for hand valve when hooking up dolly although I guess some sups may want that. 5) notify people inside trailer if coupling on the wall. After coupling verify lever on dolly is in locked position, check kingpin, raise landing gear, hook up lines then apply air and activate snubber. Different ways to do some of this, find a routine and stick with it. I'm sure they will be patient if it's your first time building a set. If you ask me it seems stupid to have a week of training and build one set. [/QUOTE]
