Well, what you just posted clearly shows that you you have never unloaded at a Menards. Given the misinformation you've been posting the past few days, I'm beginning to wonder whether you are even really a truck driver.
Not setting your trailer brakes at a dock? You're kidding, right? Shove a sock in it ,because that's the policy at all 5 of the Menards storesI've delivered too ...And I do not think you drive a truck...PERIOD...I put cash money on you just being some limp wristed political wind bag...When I was OTR I sure did not have the time you appear to have...DAILY..to correspond on this board...infact I'm already board ,and will be going back OTR after the holidays with Conway ,so after I'm back OTR I will gladly attempt to arrange a meeting ,which can be as civil as you make it ...But then again you'll probaly chime a differerent tune...kind of like drives who ran their mouth on the CB ,and were dumb enough to call me over to their real truck...I tell you nothing sickens me worse than a PU$$Y with a big mouth ,who loses all his wind when confronted ,and turns into a polite apologetic punk...Offers on the table decline ,and prove me correct.

Yes Tom...You can "pop" the brakes at 5mph to stop the truck. Your still going to cause component failure, because the "Spring Brake" is not designed to stop a moving truck. It is designed to hold in place a stopped truck.
Once you pull the buttons, you have no recourse. You don't have time to release the brakes to prevent damage. Damage to components can include damaged "S" cams, pads pulled off of rivets, blown brake chambers and even drums can be cracked, from the inertia of the moving vehicle. Dead wrong. With at 30/30 spring brake chamber, you have about the equivelant of 30 psi of brake apply pressure with the spring brake and it takes about 30 psi of supply pressure to overcome the force of the spring to release the brakes. Its not going to hurt a damn thing. Popping the valves is about the equivelant of a stop (panic stop, in my book) with 30 psi of apply pressure. Also, I have NEVER seen a CAT wheel loader, short of a 992 or so, that would push a 78000 pound truck around. 30 feet? I'm calling BS. Trucks with both brake valves set being pushed far enough from a loading dock to drop the dock plate with a forklift running in and out? Maybe on ice. Otherwise, I gotta call BS on that one too. Some of us have been out here a bit too long to buy these trucker stories. Now, to the OP, it looks to me like the brakes probably weren't set on either tractor or trailer. That truck is a hell of a long way away from that dock. I don't see how that could have happened with any resistance at all from the truck. (i.e. at least one axle worth of brakes set) I have no Idea the series of loader...but it was big ,and slid that truck with ease trying to pack the last few bails...infact all I could think of was him pushng hay through the nose of the trailer ...I've had hay loads out of UTAH b4 ,and they had nothing like this loading the trucks justt 4wd case loaders that absoulutely struggled to pack the bails...not this thing howvever.

I spent several years delivering to Menards. Everything from bricks to lumber to bags of salt. I've pulled flats and dry van loads for them. Every load I've ever delivered there required chocking of the wheels with 4X4 blocks of lumber. Never had to disconnect a trailer, and certainly never had to hand over keys. After all, if your trailer is disconnected, there's no logical reason to need to hand over your keys.:roll2:
Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's been people from this board who have already met me. I'm sure they can vouch for me if they want to. Beyond that, it would appear that you are the one making lame internet threats here. If you have a personal problem with me, then I suggest you take it to PM, where I will simply ignore you. But stop crapping all over the board. It's unbecoming of you. Oh, internet identities can vouch for you ...Well I guess that makes you the real deal with proof like that ...My proposition is very clear ,and honest I'm 100% exactly as stated in all my posts from my driving background to my physical claims ,and have not one caim I can't validate face 2 face...You I doubt the same .

Like I said, take it to PM, or STFU.

]every truck I ever drove had the parking brakes in one axle, not three, I defy you to show me a truck with a parking brake on the steer axle
]newer trucks automatically pop the trailer brake when you apply the tractor brakes is because of people like you. maybe that's why you cant keep a job, with that attitude, you wont go far, I dont apply my trailer brake because the customer is an idiot and shouldnt move my truck. what does it hurt to just put it on? I go one place where they take the red line off, put a lock on the glad hand AND take your keys.. so what? that's their policy, so I just do it. Last edited by Fredog; 11-22-2008 at 09:25 AM. |
