[QUOTE="pickup, post: 2824622"] Let me just add, if it hasn't already been said, make sure that during the pre trip of the lead trailer, that you make sure that the airline at the back of the lead trailer is "tucked in" i.e within the pintle hook , not outside of it. If it is outside, you have a chance of puncturing it when you back it up to the staged dolly(the tip of the dolly being the puncturing culprit). And even with the air hose properly tucked in. If you line up incorrectly when backing up the lead trailer to the dolly, you can still puncture the airline . So the way to avoid that is to not tap the dolly. If you can't judge distances , and you want to get close, drop a glove( or another object that you can see) at a point where you want the end of the trailer to be and make sure your dot bar does not go past that point.
