    Way out of hand. Just go ask him to move the wagon. I blocked your trailer in, didn't mean too. Problem solved.

    Yea, that's it. Just go over to the buffet, find the driver, and then tell him that if he is planning on leaving from the motel in reverse, that you are the guy that has him blocked in from behind! j/k:biggrin_25523:

    If your trailer is empty or light, this is what i would do. Back up at 90 with the air bags dropped so the fifth wheel will just slip under short of the king pin. Pull your emergency line (red one) around and hook it up to release your brakes on the trailer only. You might have to lower or raise the landing gear just to get it right. Get back in the truck, hit the switch for the air bags to fill and slowly pull the mother out. Or use a chain if you have one hooked on to the king pin. That would be best with an empty trailer (the chain) not recommend with a loaded or empty one. This will work, but not always. Best to just wait it out, other driver having trouble at home, or somthing like that. Might be looking for a fight, hard to say.

    Or you could put your King Pin lock on it with a note. Depends on how kind you are. He may just be exhausted, hungry, and didn't see your trailer. I like asking better.
