    When you get on a new piece of equipment, always gently pull each controller to see what does what. If it’s a track vehicle make sure to load with counter weights and final drives on opposite ends

    Those type questions should be asked while you are being loaded since several places, especially ports, require the driver to drive the equipment off the trailer.

    Hope you never go to a place with stupid rules. Drivers Not Allowed On Trailers For Any Reason, followed by Drivers Responsible For Driving All Equipment Off Trailers. Say what?

    I guess that's what are ladders are for, lean them up against the equipment and climb up without touching our feet to the trailer. Yeah, that's the proper way to do it, safety first.

    I've hauled these quite a bit never had to drive one off yet. I figured it out though kinda simple. Its easy to move the unit forward and back but when u see a joystick with 8 buttons it kinda gets confusing..

    Ya, I've rented one a couple times to do some work and it takes a while getting used to it with all them buttons LOL.

    Not knowing what's what and having to drive it off a trailer would get me a lil nervous haha.

    Did they make you put tape over the exhaust on each unit?
