Practice question
When coupling a tractor to a semi-trailer, at what height should the trailer nose be relative to the center of the fifth wheel?
- Significantly higher, so the tractor does not touch the trailer nose plate
- Slightly lower than the center of the fifth wheel, so the tractor lifts the trailer slightly
- Exactly three inches higher than the highest point of the tractor cab
- At any height, because the fifth wheel self-adjusts during the backing process
Answer: B — Slightly lower than the center of the fifth wheel, so the tractor lifts the trailer slightly
