Amazing how some people do their job and don’t fully understand it.

The drag test you did is a sure fire way to bend the landing legs. Gently does it!

Red is the emergency line and blue is the service line

Thanks for doing this informative video on how to couple doubles.

I work for Estes and hook these everyday on the yard........you are doing it the hard way!! Save your back and don't MAN HANDLE the Dollie! (Back injury) Hook the Dollie to your Lead trailer and then back the lead with Dollie under the rear trailer........unless you can't back then I guess do it your way!

This is a very informative video. Thank you for actually taking the time to show each and every step. Great video

Thank you so much for the demonstration, I just got my doubles and triples endorsements for Florida, can't wait to start working.😀

"Some guys back up doubles, I dont fool with it anymore" slang for I dont know how 😂

I really appreciate videos like this I have the Doubles/triples endorsement but never pulled them so didn't know how to hook up to them

Nice vid. One important thing I think was skipped was to make sure that the gladhands on the back of the rear trailer are closed with dummies or with closed valve. Otherwise you don’t have a closed air system and then when you go to press on the brake........... The tug test seemed excessively long. If the pavement isn’t smooth or even you risk doing damage to the landing gear dragging the trailer like that. IMHO.

Thanks for the video homeboy! Very informative and well taught.

I don't disagree with the tug test but as he said dont want to high hook or not hook correctly. Isn't that why you actually look at the jaws locking around the king pin what does it take 10-20 seconds to feel and know with certainty your coupled.. Push pull and look always

im getting my doubles endorcement, i learned alot. thanks

This helped I learn lil more watching this. Getting ready for my finals.

I love you videos, thank you for all your wisdom.

Great video guys this was helpful I'm just starting a job hauling doubles it's my 3rd day I'm still learning to hook a set of trailers thanks guys

Just found your guys channel. Good stuff, you two seem like awesome people.

Thanks for the video! Straight to the point and accurate!!!

Hey good job ..it cleared up the brake concept ,red n blue.. I just got my CDL and this helped me..do more

Tough man competition! 😂💪🏾

Awesome video on hooking up doubles thanks for the video

Thanks for the teachable moment !!!

Man I appreciate this video thanks sir!!!

Thank you ❤the video was really informative. But man that’s hard work lifting the dolly I’m a girl 4 11 can never do what you just did 😂

Thanks for the good info stay safe on the roads

I retired after 15 years pulling doubles in 2001, we never had dollies that did not have a crank handle that would lower and raise the dollies, we hooked up on gravel lots and you would never be able to pull them or roll them on gravel, plus it sure seems like you could pull your back if you were not very careful.

Didn’t cross your chains

Damn I actually learned something.

in New Zealand we uesd ringfeeder we don't uesd chains

Very good lessons 👍

Great video. Do one were you shoe us how to work the dollies with spring breaks.

Thanks mr cobra nice video...

made that shit look easy as hell

Thanks my job train you to drive the dolly towards the trailer I been having a hard time, that dolly keep going whichever way it wants. Thanks I'm going try this out first thing I get back to the yard.

thanks this was really helpful

Easy,breezy Japanesee 😂

Nice video, those gloves look like the chemical gloves we used at Chevron when I used to haul Fuel...Lol

Thanks for teaching Gob bless you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

nice nice nice that is a nice looking Unit CoNgRaTs to ya.

For me Estes gray dollies are more easy to handle.

In tx we say lead trailer and rear trailer

Makes it look simple. I haul a horse trailer (which is nerve wracking with live animals) and that stresses me out with some of the tight areas I haul to and from, I criss cross the United States. Some people are made for it. I am not. Drivers are merciless to people that haul.

Thank You 👊

How do i get a broker to let me haul double for them ? I barely have experience but I want to haul doubles

You did it the swift way

Supply and return air?? Uh huh suuure....

I didnt know you did work for Estes!! I actually start there March the 4th! I'll be running linehaul and doubles as well. What are your reccomendations? is it worth it? I can still change my mind and stay with my current company if this is too laborful for me at 53 years old in "ok" shape.

Lol!!! TLI doing how to videos!!! What’s next?

I was taught to cross your chains incase the dolly hops off the chains being crossed it wont sway back and forth as much as if they werent crossed? Some drivers dont cross and some do.

I've got a pintle hook on my truck, just quicker to walk it back sometimes..

so you can lease onto estes?

The tedious thing for me is to displace the dolly. In some terminals I go the ground is not very flat or very tight or both to do all maneuvers. I saw some drivers hooking doubles in just few minutes while it takes me at least half an hour. I use lots of brute force sometimes. I know how to hook doubles safely it just takes me time and this is not good for a line haule driver.

I'm surprised u hooked them they frowned on use hooking when I drove for them

Nice

Where was this filmed? All the companies share a dock?

What are the covers on both rear axels of the truck for

What yard u at

Thank for take your time to show how it’s done

What’s the point of this rim covers on your truck

👍

Were you'll at today

I don't understand why drivers call the blue line a "return line" when you press your brake pedal your trailers brake as long as you valves are open, when you release your brake pedal the air on the brake chambers is released and expelled from the system its does not return, the lost air is replaced by the Emergency line (red), so in conclusion it's not really a return line the air goes one way only on the blue line.

Always criss cross your chains.

A ur side kick hes a gd mentour..i need a gd ☝

Transco should have supplied a pintle hook. Then you would never need to man-handle the dolly.

wht if u had a hazmat box,where would it go?

How did you pull for Estes? They have their trucks .

When you did the tug test, that rear trailer was moving like the brakes were not applied. What gives? I thought that trailer brakes were supposed to apply automatically as a fail-safe with no air supply.

Oh by the way, the correct nomenclature for Retarded is "Intellectual Disability"! I couldn't resist. Still a cool video.

can you pull a set of doubles with a 3 Axel? sh!t when I was trucken in Calif ya couldn't but that was 34 yrs ago too.

It’s called a dolly

Is the pay better pulling doubles then pulling your normal 53 foot tralier

I would fire you for pulling the trailer against the brakes that far plus you need to criss cross your chains

These reminds me of how behind America is with some stuff. And how quality and up keep takes the back burner to saving money.

*that's not how air brakes work.

But no need to treat air supply lines like that, you can break them and don't need to drag the landing gear so far

Good tutorial. Now uncoupling

So many things wrong with this lesson. First thing to do after backing dolly under trailer is check the jaws for locking. Chains must be crossed. If you don't cross them then you really don't understand their purpose. Never drag trailer like that. I could go on but do not follow these instructions. I you want expert and safety first instructions watch a video on hooking up UPS doubles.

Cdl pilots in 2020

no thank you, you can have that job.

Wowww.where this place USA. I like to work ..sir how to apply sir.there I'm from Philippines.truck trailer driver.

A ...lol

This video should be removed, teaching young or rookie drivers the wrong way to do things is a good way to get them in a bad habit.

It's too hard because you don't do it to get good at it, try hooking triple trailers, stop with the sooky la la and practice, the only lesson in this video is how bash your gums i think
