When Red Power was Mo State Fair grounds several years ago we had a lot 
of rain and could not get trucks off the road.I had a 3 ramp trailer, 
but while I was bringing my H to the road to load it another truck 
pulled in and parked about 10 feet behind my trailer.  As I pulled up 
the truck driver just looked at me and smiled.  I pulled up cross ways 
behind my trailer, and used the maneuver I described to load the old H I 
had driven most of my life.  When I swung up on the trailer and locked 
the brakes down he was just staring with his moth open.  I looked at him 
and said "This ain't my first time on this thing".
