Real-Time Coaching With a New Driver
Curious how a new driver handles Johnny Jaws on their first try? In this video, Joe Ruby walks a brand-new driver through the pickup procedure in real time: line up to the metal rear-load dumpster, hook into the trunnion bars, lock in, throw your airbag, rotate the forks even with the top of the container, then lift.
For a new driver, the Johnny Jaws fundamentals carry over from any front-load truck work: line up, lock in, lift. The piece specific to Johnny Jaws is getting the trunnion bars lined up clean before locking in, then rotating the forks even with the top of the dumpster before lifting. Joe walks the driver through each of those checkpoints.
