    If it were me, personally, I'd go with it.
    Maybe @Ridgeline has different solution.

    It’s fine to go down the road with no landing gear. Some cryo tankers didn’t even have landing gear as a weight savings, they used special cradles to support it if it need to be disconnected from truck. I’ve seen bottom dumps with no gear to. Not saying it isn’t odd what the company decided to do, but nothing unsafe about it. Inconvenient yes, unsafe no

    I had the same thing happen. The road service came out cut one of the legs & kept it moving. Can't let one leg stop the progress. When one acts up "hop" on the other one:D:D
