Grease on the two way radio mouth peace ,

When I was new and inexperienced only a few months ago the shunters used to try and catch me out by dropping the trailers way to high for the unit so I would miss the pin and another one they did was push the handle on my 5th wheel in so that the next morning when I went to hitch up a trailer I would think it was connected and then end up driving off and dropping a fully loaded trailer on its nose.
You sound prison educated. What were you inside for?
If the trailers are curtainsiders, could you pull all the internal straps to the back of the trailer, hang them out the back door, ready for the forklift, but wrap one of the straps around the frame holding the black canopy?
What a load of Childish wallies !

Yes mr flow. I learnt the hard way and now look at me, I drive a stralis with spotlights and shiny wheels. Livin the dream I am 
I’ve not driven a tug so I don’t know if they have bigger than normal air tanks to supply a totally drained air system on a trailer. Just keep pumping your foot pedal to drain the air before disconnecting your suzies. You’ll have to wait 30 seconds for your air to build up before you drive off but they’ll also have to wait before moving a trailer.

I did it for a while m8,i think i was too nice to be a shunter ,doing legs ,back doors and getting number plates for drivers made me a busy fool,hardest thing our shunters do is flick thru the pages of a month old daily sport ,they have got it sussed
I like the shunters that don’t have a license/very little actual on road experience, yet think their gods above us all because they have mastered how to get trailers onto the same bays in the same yard day in day out.
Always worth staying on their side though, otherwise you can be sure they’ll leave the most awkward bay in the place free and then when you roll up say “could you stick it on there mate”.

Luckily I had the cop on to realise when the trailers were to high and I always do the tug test after I go in under a trailer.
Horrible bunch of [zb] but i just have to laugh at how sad they were and i will be keeping an eye on this thread because I think payback is in order
I think you will find the reason the trailer was left to high was due the fact that the last driver to use it left if like that,the last thing the shunter wants to do is mess about winding legs down,it defeats the object of having a tug,dockspotter etc.

apart from the usual checks a proper shunter is suposed to wind the legs up and back down again to see if the handle is working ok
each and every time he moves a trailer
Bring tri in yard,when shunters asks you what’s in it,tell him it’s EMPTY,drop it on the bay he wants and zb off quick,when he realises it’s full of r s u ( rubbish) ,he’ll be spitting feathers ,vowing vengeance ,but at least you’ve had your 60 seconds of glory

a proper shunter

It’s a boring job shunting, so these guys are probably bored.
A little respect from drivers along with a couple of nice words when their not rushed off their feet, IMO it would be a better way forward than trying to pee each other off.
