2 pigtales?

I almost never jack knife or make hard turns loaded or empty with my trailer. Tires are expensive enough and I barely get 1 year out of my tires as it is. So I have always been cautious with how I turn or back into a hole.

Trailer I have is very predictable when backing into a space,.. it turns pretty evenly. Would have to be on a hump or dip to throw my backing into a tizzy.

I left the 2nd pig tale plugged in. Using a bungee to keep it from dragging on my catwalk. Empty right now. Load I was trying to go after ended up covered by someone else,.. IE,.. they hauled it for a cheaper rate. So I'm sitting at the T/A in San Antonio. Dispatch frustrated with me. I turned down 4 loads,.. sorry,.. not moving 46k for $1.58 a mile. Go pound sand. Rather sit or dead head some where else just on principle. I need money,.. but I'm not broke or poor.

The 2 aux switches I have dont light up or buzz or anything.

I would only use it for backing into a spot at a truck stop or if something similar comes up.

I understand what you mean,.. I dont think I would forget to switch it back once I parked,.. but then,.. I pulled into an Ill scale with my spread closed and 36k on the rear thinking I had spread it back out. Guy was a #1 A-hole to boot. After he pulled me in,.. I was like ok,.. let me fix it,.. sorry. He said,.. nope,.. you came in how you came in. $500 fine. No you cant leave till its paid,.. Almost $600 after paying ComData their percentage.

Not often,.. but have had scale masters check the split weight between my spreads from time to time. So I know they are watching.


So what I'll probably do it get one of those little 12v bright annoying red LED peanut lights for the side of your trailer and mount it on my dash to come on when ever the switch is deployed.
