I need some pictures of drivers using the 3 point system and also pulling 5th wheel and tandem pins. Any pictures or any links to where I can get some would help so much. Thank you.

  1. need more info.. 3 point system- does this refer to using 3 points of contact when entering/exiting the truck. In order to avoid slipping, always have 3 of your 4 hands/feet in contact with the truck, and never carry anything on your way up/down. The 5th wheel and tandem pins are usually located on the driver's side, are easy to see and use. For the 5th wheel, simply pull the handle towards you to release the lock. For the tandems, pull the handle towards you and then down to hold it in the unlocked position, move the trailer forward or back, then pull the handle up and let it go back in, and adjust the trailer to lock it in position.

    The link below is for the 5th wheel, and the driver is using an additional puller to reach in under the trailer, but it is possible to use just your hand.
