    All I can say is never get in a hurry when doing tight maneuvers. If questionable, get out and look.

    Screw the other BS I typed.

    I once saw a guy pull a trailer with a flat tire. He obviously didn’t pre-trip or walk around at all cause you could visually see it flat. After I got off work I saw him pulled on the side of a on ramp with the tire shredded.

    Always eyeball the kingpin lock and never rely solely on a tug test.
