Big Dumb Loads

My dad drove company trucks for almost 20 years, he had one without a trolley valve and he got rid of that and into another one as quick as he could. pretty sure that was at HO Wolding.
 
Do you know this as fact ? i have probably driven over a 100 semis i have owned 5 been in thousands as a passenger and not once in my life have i seen a truck with no trailer brake lever ! i call bull **** !

My 2025 Freightliner doesn't have one, but it is leased through Ryder, so it might be true. It's the first truck I've been in that doesn't have one.

You would be amazed how many younger drivers we hire that come to us having never seen one before.

Driver I road tested for hire today last worked directly for Ryder, he saw the Johnny Bar and said "thank God! I didn't have one of these at my last job!"
 
Didn't he have his license revoked in CT like a month before that for OUI?

Yup

Zhukovskyy’s commercial driving license should have been revoked in Massachusetts at the time of the crash because of a drunken driving arrest in Connecticut about two months earlier.


Massachusetts and one or two other states doesn’t communicate with the other states as far as driving records go.

Maybe? There are lots of crane terms. They make up new terms everywhere you look. All I know is the handle on the steering column to apply trailer brakes.

The old ass 70T Manitowoc friction crane we have at work has something I thought was called a Johnson bar that the operator uses when lowering heavy loads. I may be completely wrong also. Ive never sat in it or ran it, nor do I care to, but zi thought thats what the dude at the shop that runs it called it. Maybe he didn't know either or I am remembering way wrong. 🤷‍♂️
