    If I'm under a deck, loaded or empty, it gets pinned.

    Always pinned if a vehicle is under it as well..

    If anyone ever worked for Allied, then they would have pinned EVERYTHING ..... ALL THE TIME ..... Sorry ... I ws used to yelling over the exhaust leaks ..... but really ..... an old, worn out, Cottrell, Allied, quick loader, would creep EMPTY, un-pinned, 4 feet over a 20 mile drive back to the yard ...... AND sometimes the pump would partially stick on and they would creep UP or DOWN ..... so we often pinned and S hooked the other way !! * MUSIC PLAYS * If you know what I'm talking .... about clap your hands .......

    I remember years ago hearing about high mount Wally Mo trailers having the number one spot flip forward in a fast stop due to the steep angle. So thinking they now have pins for both directions.
