It took almost 4 hours to get 'home'.
It was a real pain to get the thing on the trailer. The M870 trailer was dropped from the M818 and then laid down (the gooseneck folds down flat) at which point a forklift was used to move the K53 to the correct position. The forklift was then moved to the back of the trailer at which point it was used to pull the truck up. That worked at first, but then it didn't really - because the steering box is screwed up on K53, and the front wheels kept steering in all different directions. So then we had to use a big piece of wood (to steer), the forklift (to occasionally push and lift the truck over), and the M818 (to pull on the truck) all at the same time to position it on a somewhat okay place on the trailer.
After you get a load onto an M870 trailer, a forklift or wrecker has to be used to lift the gooseneck back up to a height where the truck can slide back on...
Sounds easy and though the forklift that we used was a 30,000lbs forklift, it just would NOT lift the trailer by itself. So we had to use the M818 to pull the gooseneck up while the forklift lifted up the front end far enough so we could put the landing legs down...
