    I go to check in. And a couple different chiefs running the show of course.
    Chief two gets up set chief one is taking to long. So c2 starts giving door numbers. And says back in to the door. She comes out cuts our seals.
    I opened the doors and backed in to number 9. I go back inside. Get the commands. Chock wheels. Unhook. Mumble mumble. I said ok thanks. C1. Says hey man your fourth inline. Its going to be a couple hours. I said ok thanks.

    I don't know what mumble mumble. Actually meant. As im the only English national in there. I seen all, not some but all the other drivers rolling tandem. So I assumed. Thats what the mumbleing is.
    Well of course. I pull my trailer ahead to roll the tandems. And low and behold. I have a woman in the trailer. Who don't speak English.
    I asked the translater. If the woman wants me to back the trailer up. Or help her out. After I close the right door. And assist her down. Now she speaks English I was so scared she said. Follwed by.....
    What's your company's name and whats your truck number.
    So the trailer traveled the distance. Of the tandems all the way forward to all the way back. How does this play out?

    She didn't inform you they were in the trailer. Communication is key. Don't lose no rest over it. Nobody got hurt that's the bottom line.

    Its all cool. Now had you locked her in and taken her across country that may have been a problem. If she gets fussy give her a few compliments and she'll get happy again.

    Mrs Mumbles learned a lesson today. Mind Mr Trailer.

    I usually roar, RAUS! VAMANOS, OUT!, GIT, scram etc before moving trailer tandems.

    mumble mumble...

    Going to be a long day working the translator through Sortie! and so on.

    I remember one in particular. Would not move in the trailer I needed to shift. So I advanced on him. Backed him up to the tail gate and down. Carefully mind you.

    If the events happened just as you wrote them you made a big mistake. You say you backed in and unhooked and then later went back hooked up and slid your tandems? If that’s the case she very well could’ve been inside the trailer after she had assumed you were unhooked.
    If that’s the case I don’t blame her for being mad.

    Ya know what? Not that time it wasnt for me but the OP would know.

    Once they flip that hook on the dock side your trailer aint going nowhere. Makes me debate why do we go through the motions of sliding.
