    Please can some one give me some hints to avoid too much truck and trailer shaking when loading or unloading?
    #I do slide the tenders, so that's not problem

    It’s going to shake no matter what from the forklift going in and out.

    normal, get used to it, or stand outside, or in the coffee break room, or on the loading dock.

    Tandems to the back and you can also crank down the landing gear. And some forklift drivers are just a lot smoother than others

    Welcome to trucking. If the movement of truck while loading and unloading bothers you, you wont last long in trucking . Sorry to be rude but thats the reality .

    Drop the trailer, if they'll let you. Otherwise, all you can do is slide the tandems all the way back, dump the trailer airbags, and lower the landing gear, in that order.

    My first pickup loads me on 3rds. I might wake up. And, other times I don’t. I’m used to it, by now. My alarm STILL wakes me in the morning, which is what’s important.

    You could lower the legs and disconnect from the trailer. Doing that everytime you load and unload seems like a hassle tho.

    It's a good thing. Means you're that much closer to leaving the shipper or receiver.
