[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 2825581, member: 8481"] That's the way I was trained a decade ago also. But 3 years ago, corporate put out a memo clarifying equipment handled. Just trying to figure out who does what. [ATTACH=full]132493[/ATTACH] I saw someone put the front of the dolly through the back door of the lead by "popping" the dolly off the pintle while dropping the back box. The trick is to unhook hoses, lower landing gear on rear box, slide dolly handle, open pintle flapper. Then pull away from the back box. Once the dolly has almost cleared, the front will try and raise up because the fifth wheel is starting to angle up, quickly hit the brakes and then gun it. The dolly will pop off the pintle without having to get out and drop it. As I have personally seen by another driver, it can go wrong. And yes, he was terminated. Got his job back but lost 2 days.
