[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 2820086, member: 8481"] It is proper methods to pre-trip your dolly, whether is was supposed to be post-tripped by the previous driver or not. And never, ever, trust anyone else for equipment that you are pulling. It is your life. Pre-trip the dolly. I never could understand why half the drivers drive around the yard with their 4-ways on. At UPS, 4-ways are to be used when backing. On the road, they are to be used when stopped on the shoulder or when going considerably slower than other traffic. In the yard, everyone is going slow and drivers are using their 4-ways for backing and going forward. Talk about confusing? Yes it can. It does not supply any air since the trailer air supply is not applied, but it does activate the brake lights, which need to be checked on the dolly when pre-tripping the dolly before even moving it. Not to nit-pick, but it is hook up lines, apply air, then raise landing gear. Exactly. Find a routine that works for you and stick to it. Here, we have a week of production before obtaining your CDL. During this week, you should be building at least one set daily. [/QUOTE]
