1. Magpabilin Ubos sa Imong Timbang sa Timbang

Samtang ang imong kasagaran nga fifth-wheel hitch mahimong makahakot bisan asa gikan sa 7,000 ngadto sa 13,000 ka kilo, dili nimo gusto nga pabug-atan kana nga hitch o ang imong towing nga sakyanan nga adunay sobra nga gibug-aton sa kargamento. Hunahunaa kung pila ang imong gikarga sa imong ikalima nga ligid ug gamita ang istasyon sa pagtimbang sa trak sa paghunong aron matimbang ang imong ikalima nga ligid kung adunay ka mga kabalaka. Hupti nga balanse ang gibug-aton gikan sa wala ngadto sa tuo ug sulayi nga ibutang ang 60% sa gibug-aton sa imong kargamento sa atubangan ug 40% paingon sa likod sa trailer.

2. Be Ready For Mountain Driving

Our fair province has mountains in more than one direction, including the Canadian Rockies to the southwest, so you’re bound to run into some high elevations on your travels. Fifth wheels can be hauled through mountain passes and up inclines, but you do need to be on your guard. If you know you’re going to head into the hills, do everything you can to keep your fifth wheel’s load light and lower your truck’s gears as you climb inclines. Take things slow and when you’re coming back down, know where the emergency pull-offs are on your route in case you can’t get your brakes to activate when needed.

3. Keep Your Tires in Good Shape

Driving on bad tires is never ideal, but you’re going to put yourself at extreme risk if you try to drive with bad tires on either your fifth wheel or your towing vehicle. Use a tire-pressure gauge to check all your tires and air them up to the psi levels recommended in your owner’s manual. Make sure each tire is in good shape with sufficient tread depth and no embedded objects or bald patches. If you want, you can install a tire-pressure monitoring system that will help you keep tabs on your tires’ condition so you can address issues promptly.

4. Practice Makes Perfect

It may sound tedious to hitch up your fifth wheel and practice driving in an empty parking lot, but this will give you more confidence and ensure that you know how your trailer moves and where your blind spots are. Have someone stand outside and guide you as you practice reversing, turning and parking with your towing set-up until you feel sure that you’re ready to travel.

5. Double-Check Your Hitch

You should always double-check your fifth-wheel hitch before you start your truck. The coupling system is secure, but it’s good to check that and make sure everything is locked down and that your kingpin is snugly in place with its latch on it. 

6. Take It Slow

Even if you’re in a big rush to get somewhere, it’s not going to do much good if you try to speed there, only to end up in an accident. You’ll want to drive a few kilometres below the speed limit at all times and allow other vehicles to pass you on the highway. 

Remember that you’ve got thousands of kilograms of weight behind you and you need to exercise more caution to ensure the safety of you and other motorists. 

Signal well in advance of any manoeuvre you intend to make so that other drivers can make space for you, and increase the following distance between the front of your truck and the vehicles ahead of you.
