You neglected to say that the reason that you pull your tandems all the way to the back when you’re backing into a dock is because it raises the rear of your trailer up so that you’re even with the floor of the dock so the forklift can more easily unload and load your truck. If you fail to get in the habit of doing this the shipper may have you pull back out and perform this function so it is just common courtesy to get in the habit of doing this every time you pull into a dock.
So the last setting you did was the California setting or the standard one? Im confused where the arrow should point, edge of tire, center? Thanks for clarifying
Extremely helpful vid! As are all your videos. For a greenhorn they don’t teach us that stuff. And this helped me greatly, rather than a costly mistake. Awesome! Keep them coming.
very helpful video. Really helped me. The company I work and my trainer, never taught me this and I almost got in trouble because I was driving it with tendems all the way back. but I thank you
So just finishing up my CDL School. They told us how to do it they just didn't do it for us. They told us that we will learn how to do stuff like that when we go to a carrier or wherever we go. But while they're teaching us they leave the tandem's all the way to the back of the trailer. And when we test for our state Idaho we test with the tandem all the way to the back of the trailer. Thank you so much for the video and the knowledge.
the valve on the trailers i use dont stay in like that, i have to use a set of vice grips to hold it open? is there a trick i dont know about? or is my trailer just dumb?
Question: so you keep the red trailer brake pushed in as well as that trailer button in the back so that it can slide? Or do you keep the tailer break pulled out and button in back pushed in for the trailer to slide? I just wanna make sure it’s done right when I’m by myself.

Good video. Short and to the point.
Thanks a lot great information
Very helpful, currently on the road with my dad and I've seen the term "sliding axles/axle sliding" plenty of times and I didn't know what it meant.
Thank you so very, very much !!!
I appreciate this video so much! I’m having my test tomorrow to solo out and this was one of the few things I was confused about. Thank you driver!

Thank You so much God bless you
Thank you bro
So the arrow needs to be in the middle of the rear wheel? I just went through training and I thought they meant between both wheels.
Interesting haven't seen that in Europe
Great Video, well explained.
Great video
Ok so just the rear tandem tires should go between the California law ? Or can the arrows point between them in the gap area?
