Time and experience then everything is a piece of cake right ?
Not so fast. Dropped off my back trailer on the street this morning. Went on to deliver the first , came back for the other (routine), try to hook up to that trailer my first try and instead I pushed it against the curb. Second try I went under it and almost flipped the trailer on the side walk. No go !
I was 100 % sure I was going to need a tow truck to get the trailer straight on the street so I could hook it up to my tractor.
I called my boss. Thought he would be angry and yelling but instead he told me exactly what to do and how to do it to fix my problem.
I'm glad this guy is in charge and has been there and done it before !
He got me out of a pickle !
You would think with a little bit of time and experience

Had to crank landing gear all the way up and put my passenger side tires on the sidewalk to get a good angle.
Problem is if you don't get that angle, adios trailer... -
