    At least one commenter mentioned that it would be best to aid this driver in his daunting endeavor of backing into this particular dock. BUT, if a driver doesn't understand that wheels are round and need to ROLL with no resistance, then proceed with the shaming video because there's just no helping someone this dumb.

    Yeah, painful as it is to watch, you never will go wrong posting dock and truckstop shenanigans. Obviously empty, and the real kicker, that box they ran over was the delivery. Or, the awesomea power of a Volvo, drags stuck trailer wheels without even knowing it.

    That has to be done on purpose for likes. Really hoping someone isn’t that dumb. I mean I’ve forgotten to release the trailer brakes before, but when it didn’t roll realized oh brakes off.

    You would hope. But there is a reason why you started seeing painted lines on The Big Orange trailer tires.

    The box dropping off trailer and then running it over was epic.

    Or maybe the resistance something not rolling. The painted lines I understand, especially on snow covered lots or roads. Makes sense.

    Maybe trailer brake malfunction and they wouldn’t release. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. It’s just getting the job done and moving on.

    I wonder why the guy stopped the video post were he did. Guess he didn’t want to show how the trailer went right to the dock perfectly.

    I thought that too, desperate times call for desperate actions, but I think they are just idiots. If your trailer tires aren't turning, and fed up, they just grind 'er into the dock, I wouldn't want them in my truck.
