  • Yup screw all them truck stops in Gary. Id put a paycheck on someone pulled his lock while he was asleep and he just didnt pre trip correctly. Its unfortunate how much stuff we gotta deal with out on the road and still have to defend ourselves from fuel thiefs and assholes that pull pins, steal load locks, and whatever else they can get their hands on. Little do they know, trucks stop, the world may as well quit turning

  • @RakeemN yea it sad im just greatful no one got hurt minimum damage too

  • idiot hillbilly meth head truck driver

  • @rondord just a unfortunite driver

  • buddy your smart buddy

  • dude i wouldnt sit at the pilot in gary,In lol...it may have been a crack head pulled his 5th wheel lol

  • bet youre right, bet the driver either didnt check for a complete 5th wheel latch, or somebody pulled it on him. ive had my doors opened & chassis latches unlatched by other drivers in the brief time it takes to get fuel, back in my intermodal days. always check is right...only takes a couple seconds to walk around & make sure everythings where it should be before you get moving again

  • ok, im a jb driver daughter, and there trucks are pretty damn good, i should know. y dont u just watch wat ur doin in ur truck, nd not JB Hunt

  • someone could've pulled the lock on him too...always check, no mateer if youve been sittin 10 mins or 10 hours.

  • @1helluva86 yep just unfortunite he didnt catch it before it fell off

  • Actually Jb Hunt and Swift (which you work for) usually have newer equipment. Jb Hunt is known for taking good care of their chassis and containers. They own their own chassis. I believe companies like yours (Swift) and Schneider lease their chassis from the rail and they are garbage. I bet that driver dropped his trailer and bobtailed somewhere and just didn't hook back up properly. I have a video where a Swift daycab is in a ditch, u can barely see the top of the cab but its there.

  • @InterWebSpecialist yea i see now hunt owns their chassis, he looked in a hurry before it fell so im sure he just didnt check it, and i know swift equipment is crap. ive noticed so much more since this video about a year ago. the yard spotters is some these rail yards just whip the chassis around i witnessed one ran into a barrier and spotter kept goin

  • Its possible his fifth wheel couldve broke.when i was in truck driving school with builders transport back in 96-97 a comapny driver just left the lugoff sc terminal where we were training .A driver had his fifth wheel serviced because he was having problems with it. After he had it serviced he check it by tugging on it.A few min. down the road his trailer came off in the middle of the road.They had left out a part when working on it. Hey it happens and wasnt his fault.

  • What the hell you know about jb hunt intermodal container chassies?

  • @Robotech34 there treated just as shitty as any other one in a railyard, i seen yard spotters in railyards smack chassies off walls and crap lol, its wild

  • He might have had the king pen above the lock when he hooked up. If sombody pulled the pen it would not have made it that far.

  • @Manongjojo possibly, i always have my truck lift the trailer when i hook to avoid high hooking errors

  • atleast it was in a parking lot and not while he was flyin' down the road

  • Somebody yanked that shit. It does happen all the time. He will get blamed for that but he won't get fired over it if he has a clean record. Jb hunt is insane about equipment maintenance particulary with intermodal equipment. There are far more regulations pertaining to intermodal equipment versus regular van trailers. If I park at the pickle park I set the trailer brake put it in first and tug and set the tractor while it is tugging. And I will still check that shit when I come back out.

  • @mlke4258 yea it was rather unfortunite that this happened though

  • @skaterboyfreddie Better there than out on the highway.

  • Looks like he pissed somebody off. They'll put quarters in the air lines too. Check everything before you leave. I talked to another JB driver, got lights and wheels stolen off his truck while he was in a truck stop.

  • @SEMICRAZY78 i can believe it, its crazy how ow some people get out there stealing parts of someone elses stuff

  • Maybe someone pulled the fifth wheel release, I heard about people doing that at truck stops. They say check it before you leave. Especially when you work for a company people don't like. I agree it's tough finding a job right now...

  • @JoeOnTheRoad Yeah,especially in Gary, IN. I been to that Pilot a few times. Gary is a bad ass place.

  • @Psycho9263 i dont like that pilot but the TA cross street where i get my cb work done
