    Why would it be a bad idea? What kind of trailer? Framed or Frameless? Gate or Barn door? Level ground is your best friend, and watch out for over head obstacles when dumping.

    Just be careful! It's not hard to lay one over when dumping. You need the trailer as level as possible. Make them give you a level spot! You also have to think about the ground you backed over to get to that dump spot. Because, you will be pulling forward for several feet with the bed up in the 3rd-4th stage. Best of luck.

    Don’t move the trailer until it is all the way up, atleast when starting out, as you get experience you can decide if you want to walk the trailer instead of the truck and know the load is out of the nose

    Unfortunately my first couple of weeks I delivered to a place that was inside so I had to jackknife into the bin and walk the trailer to me wouldn’t do it on all loads #### sure wouldn’t in the winter.
