[QUOTE="chev, post: 418626, member: 6761"] When you say swinging side to side, do you mean wheels off the ground? I had it happen to me going down a ramp. The air line to the rear trailer came off, so when I hit the brakes, the rear trailer "pushed" and came off the wheels rocking back and forth. I carefully gassed on it and pulled out of it. Scared the poop out of me but I learned a valuable lesson. Hitting the brakes only forces the weight of the rear trailer onto the pivot point of the dolly, which in turn causes the trailer to rock. I think more drivers should take the defensive driving classes that some of the feeder supes go to in NY and Ohio. They actually have a course that puts you in these situations and teaches you how to deal with them. [/QUOTE]
