Additional tip on this subject for stock trailors. Especially a bumper hitch. If not filling the trailor full of livestock, and hauling a partial load, always use the center gate. Lock appropriate amount in front of the center gate with the remainder behind the center gate. Livestock can and will move around during transport. If a partial load all move to the back when center gate is not used, you will no doubt be in a dangerous situation. Reluctant to say I had this happen and it was all I could do to avoid a wreck. I was hauling about 3/4 of a full load, and I really did think there was enough cattle on the load to not get in that situation. But I was wrong, and won't ever make that mistake again. Bad part about livestock is you can't unload and make your load right after you have went down the road a ways. Make sure you are loaded right before you pull out on the road. I really hope this prevents a few people from doing the same thing is the only reason I am putting this on here. Never assume, and always use the center gate when hauling a partial load.
