    If your backing into a dock like that and your trailer is sliding when you touch the brakes. Unhook your service air line from trailer. It will stop your trailer brakes from locking up and sliding. Just go slow and stay off the brakes until close to the dock.

    Also another one was fertilizer in those big bags had to back up the Amish farmers driveway that only fit a buggy on it and backed up to a storage trailer load was 43k lbs was empty in 1 hour all he had was a pallet jack so why does it take warehouse hours to load or unload with forklifts
