I've never pulled one in a comp. It's always been s**ty little vehicles  Truck & trailer x 3 Tipper Truck x 1 Two Trucks x 1 (plus 2 x tractors! - nobody was allowed climbing shoes on these) | ||

You can see that at the start i lean forward and do a couple of half squats to get it moving, then it is little short steps as quick as possible, keeping the body as flat as possible. Try not to step too long, you will lose momentum and your body will rock and roll all over the place, slowing you down. Heavier guys can get away with being less flat imo, but if i rise up my speed drops a lot. The shoes help a lot, especially in the wet. Hope it is some help Well done mate.  | ||

I am lucky, its my old man's work truck, so I can do it whenever he has time. Not done above 20 tonne though, as dont have any heavier trailers, so would need to fill them with stuff. I love pulling trucks, one of my favourite events, and done ok on it in comps. 1st, 1st and 4th. I was unhappy with the 4th, it finished on an uphill and my form went to crap and I got beat by the heavier guys  | ||
