Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Set of heavy car rolling dollies used under the trailer's landing gear/legs. Cable or chain around fifth wheel pin to fork lift pulling in the building, or something pushing it against the trailer rear bumper. Front nose of trailer cut out to load trailer. I think this is a permanent long term solution, no license plate on the trailer. Jon

That's likely how it was done, but why? Backed in would serve for storage just as well. I've seen it done.

My guess is it's a practical joke by someone on his final day working there.

but did he know it was his final day before hand?

Let's see... the truck hitch is usually rated for 500 lbs, the truck is probably about 5000 lbs, about 2500 on the hitch with the rear wheels off the ground. Maybe the upload capability is a lot more than the download?

I wonder what's connecting the hitches together? (Given the stupidity of this I can imagine them having a 1 7/8" ball and the Ford's hitch they removed the ball so there's a 1" hole which is resting over the ball on the Chevy... but we'll give the benefit of the doubt and say they at least used a bolt?)

What happens when they hit a big bump and the rear wheels of the towed truck hit the ground? Sure hope it's in neutral...
