Overpressure your tires by 5 lbs and move the load on the trailer as far forward as your tow vehicle will allow, thereby getting the weight off the trailer as much as possible.I drove from Tennessee to Seattle with two cars on a dual axle trailer that lost a wheel bearing by doing that.
**********************************************************************************************************Great Idea ! Not.I am a worry wart. The above is not what I would do.State Trooper to Lehman, "Boy, what you doing driving this Yellow Germain Car on your trailer with only one wheel on one side and two on the other. You are one stupid Florida boy. You done wrecked five other vehicles by your stupidity, and one of these here vehickles, it be belonging to the county judge's wife. Hope you like the county jail, boy-----Because, you just hit the judge's car.....after you get out of the hospital for that broken leg----you going to jail Miami boy.

Went backwards. Went South 20 miles to sleep at a decent hotel. Stayed at a piece of crap place...not that bad, but not a good bed.
I feel so crappy right now that driving 1050 miles more to Lincoln would be impossible.....by myself I would be one dead Lehman.
Pissed that I missed the Pro.....driving that far and not getting a chance to walk the course the day before..(if I would've survived the drive), and having to sticker the car (stickers went away when I serviced the car).......if someone held a gun to my head and beat me....that drive still wouldn't happen as I feel so crappy right now.
I need a good night sleep. Will reevaluate tomorrow morning. I could make the 1050 miles from here in middle Georgia easily by Sunday night, except for the possible bad weather from Issac I might run into. Thinking maybe it's better to, "run, run, runaway...live to fight another day". I feel bad about my co-driver's plans of flying in on Wednesday, running with me Thurs and Fri and then driving back to South Florida with me-----that is if I don't go. But between the time and the distance, not to mention my bad luck (Could have been much worse...accident, injury).
Maybe.......take a pass and live to fight another day.
PS....probably just my luck that the shirt snaponbob wanted to give me was going to be worn by a amnesiac stripper with large hooters, and a fetish for guys that look like a doofy version of Jerry Lewis.
