Question about JD Power

<< < (5/5)

Brewman:
I've been known to do that too, to lighter trailers.  Sometimes it's just easier to slide the darn things into place, especially if you can't see the trailer and there is nobody to holler directions to you.  

I have a lot of respect for those who drive commercial Semi rigs.  What those guys can do backing up a 50' trailer is almost art.

96SC:
ROTFLMAO

I'm glad to see others have had to man/woman handle a stubborn trailer.  
This spring all I had to do was back an empty trailer into a very generous parking spot.  I got so mad I finally uncoupled it from the vehicle, grabbed the tongue of the trailer and physically pushed it into place.  Naturally it wasn't a small trailer and it was on loose gravel.  I don't know if I swore more trying to back it in or trying to push it into place.

The place I work has several truckers come in with the long trailers, I tell them how I take forever, going back and forward, getting my boat in the water or into a parking spot.  Their reply, naturally is, 'it's easy'. (Yeah, right)

Chas:
My Aunt and Uncle own a place on the River in Stockton, Ca.  Camping, covered berths, restaurant and a launch ramp.

Every weekend the manager pulls at LEAST three cars or trucks out of the water with his little tractor. They don't set the brake, don't hit 'park,' or try to put in too large a boat with too small a vehicle - some of them just seem to go way too far in.

Fun to watch for the first few times, but they have had to do it every weekend for many many years now... gets old.

Brewman:
Sounds like a business opportunity to me.  They could selectively choose to request a small fee for yanking someone out.  Personally, I'd be kicking my rescuer a few bucks if I got stuck like that.
