How do you learn how to drive a trailer? Someone tosses you the keys and says "Meet me in Boston." Not enough.

In this workshop, you will learn almost everything from the condition of the towing vehicle to how to take a corner. We even have a scale model for demos.

We'll cover straps, blocks, red flags, overhang laws, riggers, insurance, oars, routes, -- all will be discussed. Where do you put the weight? Handouts and checklists will be supplied.
