A little hint for backing into a trailer if you don't have a backup camera - attach a gopro to your tailgate aimed down at the hitch and connect to it with your phone. You'll be able to see where to go and back right in and adjust without having to get in and out of the cab. Once you get used to doing it, then you won't need the camera anymore...

Hey Molly. I would never recommend attempting to roll a log off of a trailer by pulling it towards you. Very dangerous! Always roll logs off of a trailer bed by standing behind the log on the trailer bed surface. I would suggest getting a short handle cant hook to increase leverage and to roll the log away from you towards the edge of the trailer. Works every time and is much safer.
