    If it does move, it will only be one hole til the pins pop out. On flat ground, highly unlikely it will move at all. Since I use my trolley brake to set my tandems in most cases, my tractor brake is what gets set.

    I NEVER give up my parking spot for doubles, triples or bobtail trains!:biggrin_25522:

    They can't back into the back row where I'm "Grillin' and Chillin'" anyway...But they're always welcomed to come hang with me and my "cool friends" and toss a hunk'a meat on the grille!:biggrin_255:

    oooooooooooo BW is a big bad trucker boy in a big black kw! *swoons*

    Changing the subject for just a moment........I had a dream the other night that you called me and asked us to come pick you up because wacko left you in a truckstop. She took the KW. But I told you I couldn't because I was meeting her at the mall with valet parking. LOL I woke up laughing. LOL I'm such a sympathetic friend.

    A lot of times when you back into a dock, you need to slide your tandems all the way back for loading, then when done loading, you'll slide them back forward. So, you would line up in your door, pull the handle to unlock the tandem pins (which keep them secure), pull forward to stretch your wagon, then ease back into the dock, get loaded, then pull forward, close the doors and back up to slide your tandems forward and be legal. All the time you were getting loaded, you had the handle pulled. The reason you need to slide the tandems back is because some warehouse fork lift drivers don't want the "bounce" they get when loading a 53' trailer with the tandems slid forward as the forklift enters the trailer. Make sense?
