    Dogleg trailer? I've heard that one.

    Off-tracking trailer? Heard that one, too.

    Dogtracking? Only in Florida . . . it's like a horse race, only with greyhounds.

    I have been able to correct the problem of an off-tracking trailer by backing up against the trailer brakes, and occasionally by sliding the tandems a notch or two. It's also a good idea to walk (all the way around) to the other side of the trailer to make sure that the tandem-release pins are engaged on THAT side, too!
