@@pieterhoekstra9887 totally agree but if you have a big trailer or a short trailer, one of the biggest problem is that most people don't know how to backup using the mirrors. I see people hanging out of the car to check if everything is oké which is dangerous and strange. My dad learned me from 12 years of age that looking over the shoulder is for dummies. As a kid I didn't want to be a dummy so I drove with everything that he aloud me to. Tractors, trucks, cars with al kinds of trailers. Once you know you always know.

Just because you have equipment under a corporation doesn’t mean you have to have a class A cdl. The total combined gvwr is still under 26,001 lbs and doesn’t have air brakes so a class A isn’t required. The only thing benefit of having his equipment under a company is for tax purposes only. The ONLY thing he would need is an MC (motor carrier) number if he’s haul for hire, otherwise it’s s just a recreational vehicle just like a big RV, no different.

Trailer boat people take note, look at how far back the towing truck went--didn't even get the tires wet--and neither should you. If you need to "bury" your ass end in the water, just say no. Something is wrong, try the middle of the ramp, it might be deeper. The way this guy did it should be your model. IF you have no choice, you are on your own. Go slow, and later, turn on a sprinkler under your truck and rinse the hell out of it, but in general, avoid dunking your truck--it's not good and how some trucks go swimming.
