They use sliding 5th wheels with an in-cab control so no need anyway, and if in doubt you clunk home, clip in, legs up a touch, shunt button on and pull and turn enough to get in. Shunt off of course before climbing up, and legs all the way when ready.
edit - uncoule - then reverse it. Get the angle to undo the hoses, shunt in, park, then shunt off, park brake, and finish up.
Sliding 5th wheel with in cab control? Not in the Motors i`ve had gordo?
Well el gordo you must have had an hire wagon as no truck on the Stobart fleet has got a sliding 5th wheel,there’s no need ,every trailer has the pin set at the same measurement,there all the same length so you don’t need a sliding 5th wheel,even the short Tesco trailers fit on our chassis perfect.
It was going quite well till Merrymaid started the slagging off of Stobart’s.To be expected i suppose!
Only trailer i find very close coupled is the NT’s and i have split coupled them in Crick but then i’m a big fella and can’t fit between unit and trailer with the NT trailers
Only frowned upon for drivers forgetting to reverse and couple and end up pulling the Lines off or worse forgetting to apply the park brake on the Unit

JB:
Its either £7.20 or £7.40 an hour i cant remember which(although i work for stobart im on a different pay scheme) You get more for between 6 pm and 6am £20 night out plus all parking paid £9 meal allowance(just gone up to £12 i believe) £5 daily bonus Ive heard they want new starters to work either a saturday or sunday as part of there shift i.e sun-thurs or tues-sat.
A few of my mates work on the uk side and are averaging £500-£550 per week but expect maximum hours
I take home £550 to £600 a week Mon to Fri nights Tramping and you get the night rate from before 6pm if that is the start time given Crick get £25.00 daily shift allowance i think.I am based at Aveley in Essex
u must be one stobbarts highest erners then taking home that amount mmmmmmm really good money

so, did they sack you for being a cab happy monkey ?
No,i’m not a cab happy driver Merry maid,if you read my post i left Stobart’s twice,once because i had my head turned by a company who said they would offer me more money(never happened like most promise’s) and the other time was an issue with a planner,which couldn’t be resolved so i walked but am very glad to say Stobart’s had me back.
Yes,i like to keep my truck very clean inside and out and i look after the kit i’m issued with,if that makes me cab happy in your small mind then fair enough.
Just because you had a major problem with Stobart’s don’t slag other people off who like the job,oh and the poles are in because the Tesco work is struggling to be covered of a weekend,so they work Thurs-Mon.
Merrymaid don’t ever slag me off on here,you don’t know the first thing about me and you had no ground’s to personally attack me.
