Talk to any truck driver and he will say "No matter how experienced you are you WILL drop a trailer at some point in your driving carreer"
Last night i did just that! But mine was no ordanary drop, It wasnt a depot drop or a hookup yard fuck up. Mine was a lot more serious, My trailer drop happened at highway speeds for which it makes it so unique!
To drop a trailer envolves the king pin not being incerted into the jaws correctly on the turn table so that the jaws them self dont close and lock, So as soon at the truck drives forward the trailer remains still and it fall off. Now for a road train to travel 50 kilometers with open jaws on a dolly converter is logically impossible! So its a case of mechanical failure or the king pin wasn't the correct size for the dolly or maybe some other unforseen consequences.
