    [​IMG] Does any one know how to get the doggone trailer back on the frigging locking pins??? Our driver just sent us two pictures and the dang trailer is sitting ABOVE the doggone locking pins. How in the heck am I supposed to tell him how to have that fixed while on the road...

    Stack cheap pallets and shim the rest from solid ground to trailer frame, then dump the bags on the trailer. Whack the pins with a 3 lb mallet

    I'm assuming its air ride, and the guides that look clamps are not gonna prevent the trailer from dropping back down.. take the guides off once you get pressure off of them if they are indeed preventing the trailer from dropping back down

    When I was a company trailer I had to pickup a trailer like that. If the pins aren’t locked in while loading or unloading it can bounce up and get on top of the frame, especially if the tandems aren’t slid all the way back. Had to have the freight transloaded and took the trailer to a shop to get it back in place.
