    If your backing into a dock like that and your trailer is sliding when you touch the brakes. Unhook your service air line from trailer. It will stop your trailer brakes from locking up and sliding. Just go slow and stay off the brakes until close to the dock.

      Most of these people don't know how to drive in winter conditions. It also takes a lot of patience to drive slowly and carefully, which most people don't have. On top of that, most people don't know how to chain up. There's many other reasons like truck weight. If you're light, you will have traction issues. It only takes 1 person to cause a pill up that you may or may not end up in it.
