I backed onto those 12" wide boards the first time! I only had to go forward once, because I thought the truck was too jacked to unhitch! Woo hoo, today was a great day.

Thats what I have. 2 boards on the ground. I can see them in my mirrors. Hardest part is getting the trailer wheels straight on the boards. I never settle for crooked. Sometimes when the wheels hit the boards they turn. In that case i straighten them out but never move them so the tires are just right. I have noticed that the back of the boards kick up when the tire first hits them. Good thing mine are only 5 foot long. Any longer and they would hit my trailer.
