UnReal trailer with a "FLOATING Gooseneck" ?!?
What happens here
Lane English illustrates that when a truck towing a fixed-neck trailer hits a bump, the shock energy is partially absorbed by the truck's suspension but also transmitted directly through the fixed-neck hitch. This energy then travels through the driver's body and internal organs, and then back to the trailer, causing continuous impact. This rapid and undissipated shock energy leads to premature failure of components on both the truck and the trailer.
Goal: This step details how conventional fixed-neck gooseneck hitches transfer shock energy from the road directly through the truck and trailer, leading to wear and tear on both.
