Re: Jeep hauler recommendations?
I knew a gal who could back 28-ft. doubles in a circle. Watched her do
it, in fact, she showed off a bit and backed them around a circle
TWICE. True story. I was astonished, and still am to this day. I
wish I had a videocamera with me.
Yes, if you have all 4 wheels of the Jeep on the ground, you can use it
to 'pull' everything back out of whatever you've gotten yourself into
if need be. Easier if you have someone put the pickup in reverse,
steer it around corners and modulate the brakes. I run bottom dumps
these days, and if we get in a jam, we chain up another tractor to the
stinger, lock the axle and pull the whole thing backward, turns and all
with no problem.
Food for thought.

Hi JD,
I don't think most here would realize what a feat that was. What I
remember about doubles is that we could flip a U in a city street, but
at one point both the tractor and the rear trailer are only the same
direction down the street, never cease to amaze me looking across at it.

Agreed. I still have trouble believing what I saw, let alone fathom
that it was humanly possible. After earning my A-TX and working the
road for a few years, I don't joke about "woman drivers" anymore; I
have worked with gals who could easily run circles around the both of
us.
