    There you go, that's the ticket.

    The goal is to stay ahead of the trailer using the throttle and hand brake.
    I can't count the times my trailer(s) have tried to pass me, lousy stinkin trailers!

    Great example of how to stay ahead of the trailer, kudos to the driver.
    He's smart to, has his trailers set up for progressive braking, back to front.

     
    Farmerbob1, Cam Roberts and MACK E-6 Thank this.

    He might be set up smart, brakewise, sure, but driving a double in those conditions without chains?
