    That's because it's a livestock trailer. Show me a dry van with no landing gear.

    Most frameless dump trailers don’t have crank down Dollie’s on them. If the owner wants to have the choice of dropping a loaded dump trailer, they will put crank down Dollie’s on them, but most go for the lighter empty weight.

    That's how breakdown at my company instructed me to slide the 5th wheel, and the 5th wheel slid very smoothly and precisely.
