    It all depends on the dump, sometimes you want the trailer to pull you backwards, sometimes you want to pull the trailer forward as it's dumping. The safest way is to release all air and keep the trailer locked up and have it pull your tractor back, sometimes however you are going to need to pull the trailer forward.l, when you are doing that though you really need to watch the trailer, if it shows any sign of uneasiness stop and reassess. Depending on job site and how good the contractor is it's usually a pretty easy job.

    Finally got the dang fender mounted permanently… took 2 full days just to do that… plugged the new tail lights into the factory harness tonight and got “Butkus”. So that’s projects #1 tomorrow morning. My beautiful bride even came and helped today. I couldn’t be more greatful for her help. Also wrapped up the locking 5th wheel today too.
