It isn't just on a slope.
I have had times that I could not shut the trailer doors with the tandems to the rear, or to the front.
Sometimes sliding the tandems is needed to straighten things out.Val_Caldera and MartinFromBC Thank this. -
Because if it doesn’t flex then every rivet, bolt, and weld on the trailer would eventually break. And also if it was built heavy enough and stuff enough to not flex it would be so heavy that you’d never be able to haul a decent payload.D.Tibbitt, JolliRoger, GreenPete359 and 4 others Thank this.

That doesn't answer the question.

Yes it does.Speedy356, Kyle G. and MartinFromBC Thank this.

Just 3 mother in laws was the rumor going around last time I heard.JolliRoger Thanks this. -
Duh,
Because the ground is uneven .
you’ve never driven behind an trailer and seen the gap between the bottom of the door and the trailer constantly change ?lester, MartinFromBC and N00bLaLoosh Thank this. -
How does a trailer even brag, let alone flex? Not a SINGLE question has been answered yet.

Are you really that ignorant, or are you just (still?) being a troll?Elroythekid, Speedy356, Hammer166 and 8 others Thank this.

The man has questions. He needs answers.

Perhaps a bit of both.
