Dropped 5er with Pullrite SuperGlide?
I recognize that the internet breeds paranoia. I've read several threads over the years about dropped fifth wheels on pickups, but another current thread got me to wondering. I have a Pullrite Super...
Forum Discussion
All of that preamble is setting up the question. Has anyone actually dropped a fifth-wheel using a Pullrite Superglide? Not looking for "saw one dropped once" or "heard of one" etc. Just trying to understand if anyone has live experience with this problem when using a Pullrite.
I doubt anyone would admit their Superglide dropped their trailer at this point. Your opening statement closed that door.
Your also saying that the jaws opening is what causes a dropped trailer. Do a serious goole search on droped trailers/etc and you will see there are many ways a 5th wheel trailer can land on the trucks bedrails or land in the street.
When I pulled trailers for a living and hauled out of a loading yard it was those companies policies to do the tug and then a visual. If you were stupid enough to not do them and got caught you were told to unhook and get in your truck and leave...... and forget about ever hauling sub contract for that company.
Yep big rigs drop trailers also with pro grade HD hitches.....and also for various reasons.
