    Can't get in there. 40' of trailer is too long. That needs a straight truck. :laughing-guffaw:

    Go to a heavy haul company n ask to practice backing their single n tandem axle jeeps. That'll teach you to back short trailers lol. Then hook a low boy to the jeep n back the whole combo. Containers will feel like a joke after that.
