Default Big Trailer Spotter

Seems you can see anything when someone needs a trailer moved and doesn't have a tractor available. This is new to me, but had to wait over 10 minutes while this wrecker moved and spotted the trailer at a warehouse. The driver did a pretty good job of it, just took a long time.

A wrecker can't jack a trailer like a tractor can unless he had a 5th wheel on his t bar. I use to put sling forks on the tee bar and chains behind the king pin plate so 10 min and done safely seems pretty good to me

There was a small 5th wheel on the wrecker boom. Trailer kingpin held in place on the 5th wheel with a cross-pin. Assembly was about a foot in diameter. Operator removed and stored it before folding everything up and heading out. Still a strange setup.
