Sliding trailer axles made easy

[Waterloo]

One thing I do, is find level ground. I don't know how many guys I see at truck stops trying to slide their tandems after getting off the scale with the trailer. The trailer is all twisted up due to the undulating pavement underneath them. Move to level ground, if available.

I watched a driver from Swift going thorough this... Played with that thing for twenty minutes, driver after driver helping, beating on the pins with hammers... I could not take it anymore and got dressed, out of the cab and told the guy to move the truck over by me. I popped that thing first try, without the help of a hammer. The guy was amazed, and I went back to bed! ;-)
