I backed the van and trailer in and use the trailer to slide the car between a camper and a tercel to the front so I could use two harbor freight come-alongs to get it up on the trailer. This is after using a pickax and a butane torch to melt the ice in the only doors track; and trying to back a trailer up a wet grassy/icy incline. Gearhead(Jeff) and standard125r(Andy) were in on that and it was a good time.I still feel bad about that whole thing....
Ha, it's a good memory now jeff. I've had enough interesting experiences...
When you have to unload a car with questionable/no brakes if you air down the tires to almost flat momentum won't carry it quite so far away. I learned that after unloading our stock car by my self and once I got it rolling it kept going under a chain link fence into the junkyard next door. The guy that owned the car also learned not to let the new guy unload the car from the body shop by himself. Oops.
Loading cars that don't run is easy. Had a cast iron boiler delivered to a job a couple of weeks ago. The driver forgot the cool powered 2 wheel dolly that walks up and down stairs. We had no way to get the thing in the basement let alone from the truck across a soggy yard to the bulkhead. Neighbor had an excavator. His wife said I could use it if I knew how to drive it. Well, I figured it out pretty quick. Used the excavator to pull out the steps leading down the bulkhead, then lowered the boiler down into the basement. Put the steps back, and returned the excavator. Now an excavator is on my want list.

I learned that by trying to engine brake instead, backing off a tow dolly, in reverse. Turned out the car ran a bit better than I thought and fired up on me, high idle and all. Had to drive it backyards a ways to a long enough straight and flat area I could turn the key off and safely let it coast with the steering locked.
ive unloaded a car from a trailer by pulling the trailer out from under the car, just strapped the car to another car in the driveway then drove the truck and trailer slowly out from under it.
wife was not happy with the marks in the driveway left by the ramps though...
