    I used to pull a pneumatic. If it wasn't shaking, something was wrong.

    Don't feel bad. As a flatbedder, the first time backed up to a dock with a van and felt it shake like that. Thought the guy broke the trailer in half.

    Use to load Van's at Lake Utopia Paper in New Brunswick, 5-6000 lbs rolls. Forklift guys went in and out of the trailer, boot to the fan....
    I have no ide how some if them didn't end up outside on the pavement, or airbags didnt blow. It was violent. Nobody cared.

    I wouldn't stay in the truck, stood on the dock and marveled at them.

    Ah, yes, those huge paper rolls, I'd forgotten about them... thanks for reminding me, lol. But one hand was spot on with his observation: some forklift operators are smoother than others. o_O
