    I don't even drop it on a bock then. With a good set of ramps there really is no need unless the ground is soft or it's asphalt and you don't want the trailer to sink in

    That's what I thought. I've only loaded next to 1 guy with a mechanical neck and that's how he did it with the blocks. Granted his trailer was an old beat up POS and his truck wasn't much better.

    If I am on dirt and it is not frozen I have 2 2x8 blocks I put under the ends of the frame rails so it won't sink into the dirt, if it is really muddy I might use a board that goes the distance.

    Also when dropping the trailer if there is a chance it is going to freeze I drop the trailer on the blocks so it wont freeze to the ground, if the blocks freeze its easy to whack them with a hammer and loosen em up, but if the trailer freezes to the ground, especially if the ground was wet, it can make things really #### difficult in a hurry.

    It is sad, but does not surprise me with the way people drive around there.

    I swear you can't win for losing man.

    On a side note, my APU is set to 77* and it's a bit toasty in here :p
