PORTABLE TRAILER STABILIZERS

A method of stabilizing a trailer includes driving a tractor, operatively coupled to a portable trailer stabilizer, forward to position the portable trailer stabilizer at least partially beneath a forward end portion of a trailer that is parked; operatively decoupling the portable trailer stabilizer from the tractor to retain the portable trailer stabilizer at least partially beneath the forward end portion of the trailer that is parked; and driving the tractor, operatively decoupled from portable trailer stabilizer, rearward to vacate a position immediately in front of the forward end portion of the trailer while parked.
