You are correct! I ran a dual wheeled one onto a trailer backed up to the loading dock at a Tubb Equipment in Jackson when I was beginning. Was misting rain and trailer had hauled drill mud previously. When it contacted the mud it slid sideways a little better than 18”, I jammed and held brakes. Sitting there running it kept sliding from vibrations of engine running I guess, until one dual was off the trailer and half the width of a steer tire was off. I screamed like a little girl, Shop man ran and grabbed a dozer that was close to try to push it back onto trailer. Afore he could get there the steer tire fell of and it started over and I stepped off onto the trailer deck. Thing turned bottom upwards on the gravel sounding like a train wreck. My boss wasn’t happy but he didn’t fire me, and I was really shook up. I had to show my worth and be nice for a while.
What if it Snows?
