    Better learn fast; if the tandems are forward like that, when a forklift enters the trailer, the tractor drive tires will completely leave the pavement, then slam back down when the forklift backs out of the trailer.

    It's to bad its not a spread axle. I was amazed the short turning radius on this thing. Probably 10ft less room needed to turn than my 48fter

    I thought I sucked at backing into spots until I pulled that van. Holy crap was it nice. Could back it in with my eyes closed. F'n spread....
