When unloading long objects from a flatbed, it is often easiest to find the center of the load weight wise and pick up the load enough to allow the truck to pull out from underneath the load. Then you can move the load without worrying about damaging the truck. I did that with 900 lbs of metal roofing panels that were 3’x28’.
Agreed. THEN the first thing you can do is immediately LOWER the load to just clear the ground BEFORE moving or manoeuvring.
