It's a shim for adjusting the front fenders of a car or truck.
HUH? first of all you load your trailer,not the truck, if you have a drybox OR reefer, you need to know how many skids and do they all weigh the same? On a 53' load it like it's 48' then cadon't give you a bridge ticket because you have the trailer tandems slid back, I always went by the 1000 lb per foot rule, if you have skids that weigh 2000 lbs, two side by side is 1000lb per floor foot(4000lb on 4' skids, side by side), if they are more, then you adjust by putting a single in the nose, the two then a single, just plan it out where you have 5 feet of open floor on the rear, if it's all light stuff then you pack it fullIF you have skids that are 4000lb each, then you run in 5 singles, measure 5' feet from the rear(29' feet) and that should be the front of the first skid(figuring 6 skids total 11 skids and 44000lb load) this will leave you 5 feet open and would scale out within 1000lbs drive/vs/trailer tamdems, now if you are loading a skateboard, all bets are off,too many variables, each load is it's own headache
