I hated backing a flatbed, especially when I was pulling a spread axle. It wasn't so bad if I was loaded, but I fought with it if I was empty. I definitely don't miss that.
Recessed docks with retaining walls will definately make you earn your money backing a spread axle loaded or empty, Schaumburg and EGV are full of them.

Don't worry. I already PM'ed Twilight Flyer about it. I'd expect Steve-O to be gone by the end of the day.

Get ride of that avatar, it's giving me the creeps.

It's a lamp with the devil on it if you really take a close look.

Keep telling myself to get one hooked up but have yet to do it :roll:

Would a dump valve increase my trailers turning radius?
I'll let someone who actually uses one chime in but I would suspect that if you dumped the air from the rear axle you would do two things:
1) Shorten (not lenghen) the turning radius
2) Make a back a smoother operation due to uneven pavement not grabbing one axle more than the other when backing and turning.
