3 pieces of advice from an old CDL driver
1. Remember the shorter the trailer, the faster it turns
2. If in ANY doubt of what is behind you or what your clearances are, get out and look (set brake first)
3. When ever possible, use a spotter. Be sure the spotter stays where you can see them, and hear them, but out of the path
of travel.
doitall500's idea of a receiver hitch on the front is outstanding........ that's how the boat dealers move boats around on their lots. Either a truck with receiver hitch on the front, or a fork lift with 2" hitch ball welded to one fork.
