Class A combinations

Combination Vehicles

Coupling, uncoupling, rollover, trailer skid, air lines, inspection, and combination braking.

Coupling must be proved, not assumed

Use visual checks, tug tests and inspection of jaws, kingpin, release, platform, lines and landing gear.

Trailers amplify movement

Offtracking, crack-the-whip, rollover and trailer skid demand slow smooth control.

Uncouple under control

Stable ground, brakes, chocks and landing gear prevent movement and collapse.
