Wow, such little but helpful details that I never knew about with the chassis. Definitely gonna help me out a lot more when driving utr at the ports.

Thanks...I just started yesterday for the 1st time. Now I know the difference between 40’ and 45’

Very good video, I have been a chassis mechanic just south of Atlanta GA for 2 years now and everything you’ve said is accurate, a couple more tips (especially on Norfolk Southern 53Ft Chassis) is to mark the wheels with a tire marker and roll the chassis forward to inspect for a low spot in the tread, if there is an area with 5/32s difference at the low spot drivers will sometimes be charged for damages if not caught before leaving the yard, depending on where the chassis is returned. One last tip if the brakes are locked down, apply air to the TRAILER ONLY and chock the wheels of the truck and take a hammer to the metal part of the brake shoes ( do not apply air to your trucks parking brake or it could run you over) if the problem is just brakes rusted to the drum they should free right up. Just a couple of tricks for stubborn chassis that have been sitting for a couple of weeks. It would also be a good idea to get an “unbreakable” mini sledge hammer to hit pushpins and twist locks that aren’t sitting correctly which could save you time from needing a container adjustment. I would also suggest every driver getting a set of standard sockets and wrenches and a ratchet to fix minor problems road side, most bolt sizes are 7/16, 1/2, and 9/16” for latches, 7 ways and crank handles which is what I see drivers having problems with the most

I am new to port driving, I need all the information I can get, please keep this videos coming for us newbys.

I’m not a trucker, I just like to learn how our society functions. So much to learn from so many different people. To think any human would believe they are the most important in society is beyond me

I always check the annual inspection sticker before I hook up. If it's expired nothing else matters.

Thanks dude, today will be my first time working with containers.

Dude! You are awesome! We have a robotics team that is learning about cargo containers and how they work. You just taught us so much that we did not know. Thank you so much! God bless!

Thanks. Just got my cdl but had never been trained on chassis style. You answered all my questions. Appreciate it

Thank you for the information provided. I am about to start running containers and I'm picking up as much information as i can before i start.

Thank you very much for this video. I'm trying to get a job in intermodal in Detroit, and this will help me be informed about the basics. God bless you too! John V.

I never pulled a chassis before and this video was all the training I needed. lol. Thanks for the knowledge.

Found your channel while reading up on the container related handling issues at the port of LA-Long Beach. Thanks for posting!

Thanks, we are starting rail containers in a couple days. It's nice to see it real. Written directions are good but I'm a visual learner. 👍

Thank you for the awesome tips and information.... I had been asked to pick up a container from a pier and I've never pulled a chassis or have I ever had to lock a container to a chassis (Flat Trailer Driver lol) and this video explained it all. Thanks again AloHa from Hawaii=)

Thanks for this man, pulling my first container Monday over the pond in the UK. This helped massively 👌

New Subscriber. Thanks for the great info. Been hauling dry van, bulk and flat bed for 8 years. Containers will be new for me. I definitely don't want to be one of the guys who somehow lose the load off the chassis. Much appreciated bro. God Bless you and your loved ones.

Thank you for the video and the explanation, you have laid down the basics really well!

Good info for people starting in intermodal. Did it long time ago, this is a good refresher.

Omg thank you for this video I’m going to be pulling containers for the first time and this video was very helpful.

Good video info. I've haven't pulled a refer yet (knock on wood). But didn't know about the "R". I'm in Houston, holla atcha boy! Hope people are realizing how much your videos are helping others.

great video, thanks from Germany! Our chassis have 3 axles with one wheel on each side. Our twist locks look different, too.

This was a very helpful video, much appreciated!

I’m about to get a job hauling containers. This was very informative, thanks great job.

Thanks man. It’s so hard to find videos like this

This was a great video! Thank you so much for sharing!

thanks for all the important info, god bless.

Great job Bro! Very informative!!!

Awesome video 💎

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the video! It was very helpful. I'm an owner op and I am considering hauling containers

So here in scotland i just found out il be doing container work soon... i figure things are gonna be... similar because containers are all the same so anyway.. very helpful thanks.

Wow thank you sir, recently started yard work and wasnt sure especially when they arent marked

you are very well educated on container chassis. and that's coming from a intermodal lift operator great job! if you ever have a chance I definitely think a video of container basics would help drivers greatly as far as size (20,40, 45 sc and hc) and steamship lines. thanks great job

this was AWESOME, thank you

This was really helpful

Thanks bro for most safety details after 5 years doing dry mostly hooked company start intermodal due to covid 19 outbreak

Thank you sir! This was very helpful

Thank you King Bishop!!!!

Interesting. Thanks for the education. Pretty cool.

Great vid. Thanks for the info

very good, explanning everything. educational, it helping me a out a great, deal. thanks.

I learnt a lot... Thanks dude

Excellent information, Thank you 🙏🏼

Good info. I've been considering converting a shipping container into a tiny home. Building on a chassis should make relocating and code compliance much easier. I now have more info to start with.

Man, I always enjoy your content. I pull containers as well out of Savannah, Ga. I didn't know that about the number to identify chassis sizes.

Thank you, help went I started my new job. Still needed a little training

I've been to this chassis yard many times! I used to work for Shoreside Logistics!

Very informative video thanks man appreciate it

great video! !!.. hope to see more videos like this. .

I used to pick up containers in New Jersey it was no picnic they were very unfriendly you could never find a chassis you were there for hours waiting for your container

Even tho it’s been years. This was helpful.

Thank you, great info!

Great video thanks bro!

I miss the other kind of semis "cabovers". I very seldom see any on the roads in the USA nowadays. Back in the '80s & down, there was a mix of them & conventional cabs. Of course things have changed such as the law increased the length limit which eliminated the need for cabovers to pull trailers that exceeded a certain length & later on, cabovers phased out & more conventional cabs took their places.

Good stuff nice job sir!

Thx ive been curious about this

Thanks for the information i I know what to do know in case I ever pull a chassis

Great Job!!

Great video

thks king bishop.......great video......i

Interesting info, thanks for sharing.

Great video, very informative.

That front inside passenger tire of the trailer was missing a huge chunk of tread 👀

Have you made any videos on the wiring or brake system of the container chassis? I'm currently the new guy at a rail yard where we fix chassis and I'm trying to find any source of info on these things but it's kind of hard to find. I appreciate this video is very helpful in the basic parts. Thanks.

god bless u for this video thanks

Awesome video and Words God Bless

Great info. Interstate seems like they have their stuff together when it comes to intermodal.

great info as im just getting into the container pulling and no nothing ,thanks a bunch..

Good job

That was helpful information

Really appreciate it

to the point and helpful

Why do you have no subscribers great video!

@KingBishopTrucking Is Interstate still doing intermodal in SoFla? I used to see Interstate and Tropical containers alot?

I'm yet to find a video where someone acutely pre trip and talk about the suspension of the chassis

Stay knowledgeable sir truck on

I'm going to be leasing onto intermodal/containers division. Do you enjoy it? how's the miles?

Thank you

Great information 👌

How much do you think it would cost to buy a used but relatively good condition forty foot chassis? I'm planning on building out a forty foot container and want to secure it to a chassis to classify it as an RV and make it easier and less expensive to move. Do you think I would be able to talk with a local dock and buy one or both from them directly?

Awesome

that last one is an empty handler and it has twist pins that lock so it can pick it up then when he lets go and it is on the chassis it he unlocks and goes

This chassie is much simpler than what we are using in Europe :)

Thanks for the video

Thanks for info

Your truck looks like one I tried pulling out last night near fayetteville nc

You making good money with Interstate? I mean at least $1.50 all miles? I always see yall in Landport. Stay safe✌

Thanks King, great video. Once you pull this chassis, do you just keep using the same one to drop empty and pick a full from same terminal? Nowadays you have to pay for chassis per day, so if you can use the same chassis for 2-3 live loads per day, that could be add'l revenue stream utilizing same chassis. I heard some terminals require you to swap chassis, makes no sense to me.

Thank you cause this is my first time pulling pulling containers.. and I thought it was just like pulling a dry van trailer.. guess I was wrong

I miss that company

Thanks bro !! GBU

Once the container is placed on the chassis doesnt the front latches automatically locks in place?

Have you seen the contraption that rotates the chassis over to be stacked upside down to another chassis? I've seen it once on a video, but now I can't find that video!

Thank you!!

I'm going into this myself

Thanks

When you work port and rail intermodal is it always 100% drop and hook

Do you check the trailer brakes?

Do you know whether Interstate does LA/Long Beach port or not?
