When moving track, I always ask for the detachable neck type trailers. A few times I was sent the stepdeck which is about 4 feet off the ground. I don't usually have a problem going onto it, but coming off with something like a M113 really takes it's toll on the nerves. The driver has been ground guiding you to move faster, you just hit the tipping point, and any uneven touch of the tiller bars has you coming off sideways. Luckily at that point you already have about 7 feet hanging over, so you are practically on the ground anyway, but as you come down (and are no longer in line with the deck) you have to wonder how hard the landing is going to be.

I'm too old for that crap.
