    The guy probably did scale it a gp but didn't bother letting you know obviously. Either way gp is pretty predictable with the way they load the trailer. I'm sure hole 8 or 9 would be legal out of there.

    Mr Miguel , whoever trained you and any other otr driver. It would be most helpful ,when delivering to a location to see how tightly the trailers are relative to each other. Think, when staged in these really tight spaces , is there enough room for a driver to crank the legs up? No? THEN DONT CRANK THE LEGS ALL THE WAY OUT!!!!!!! Perhaps, you might figure out that it would be helpful to crank down to about and inch or two from the ground. Meaning when WE back under it the legs are off the ground enough to drag a trailer out of the space.

    Due to the over population of trailers relative to available spaces, we often have to drag a trailer out far enough to access crank handle. Your cooperation is most appreciated.

    Wish drivers did that for every trailer. NO NEED TO KEEP CRANKING AFTER LEGS TOUCH. ONCE LEGS TOUCH CRANK BACK UP 2 ROTATIONS. It'll save your back n knees

    My rule is...0-38k do not let the legs touch...39k-46k let them touch the ground and wait the THIRTY MINS until the airbags level out lol

    Roll them down til 2 inches off the ground and dump the suspension....

    Oh wait, SNI won't put that on their tractors....Some idiot would pull a loaded box down the road on a flat suspension and then complain that the truck rides like crap....
