Not mad yet. But I think I will be.

I am a little slow getting it. You backed in and then you reflected the need to slide the tandems all the way back. Then in the process of doing so, you went to the back of the trailer and noticed the lady on the trailer and you kindly offered her help of stepping down from the trailer. It means that before you decided to slide the tandems she entered the trailer and remained in it while you were pulling forward to slide the tandems...OK that's the picture I was able to see.
But now the door is closed... and I am confused...Was she beating it to the point of leaving her blood marks ion it? WTF? Does it mean that you brought her over the border from Mexico, while she was screaming for help all the time?

 

What ever happens (bad not good) It's your fault driver. It always your fault!!

 

And they all know it too. This is why they want to quadruple the liability limits.

 

A lot of places make you slide em to the back. Its for safety reasons.

 

I admit I too have pulled forward after having backed up and set the brakes. The trick is to check the back of the trailer to see if the dock door is open or if they have placed the ramp on your trailer floor. If they haven’t, then quickly run back to your truck and pull forward slowly.

 

I am aware of that. I was making a thought about the presence of the big hooks and such Some places simply didnt care about tandems. When I started out we certainly didnt. Not those, not the nose jacks not the disconnect of bobtails and so on so forth etc.

Thats one reason I do drop and hook only. Live loading or unloading is just not profitable anymore. There is no point, if one is interested in keeping the wheels rolling and making money.
