New Video - Checking Fifth Wheel
posted on October 28, 2011 08:00
We have recently made some additions to our online video library by posting a few targeted safety training videos that are quick and to the point. If you haven't checked them out I would like to encourage you to have a look at the material and give us your feedback. The secured video library is located here for FirstFleet employees (login required), but this material has also been made available to the general public on our YouTube channel. 

Video Topic - Checking Fifth Wheel
When hooking up and doing a Pre-Trip inspection, the most important step of the process is to make sure your trailer is properly hooked to the tractor. An improperly hooked trailer, if dropped, could cause damage to the trailer, load, and cause injury or even death. In this video, we show you how the fifth wheel actually locks onto the trailer, something most drivers never see, and how to make sure the trailer is secured to the fifth wheel.
