Back when I was still driving big trucks I had a way to get tailgaters to back off. On our air ride flat beds we  had a switch that would dump the air out of the suspension on the back axle. This took a lot of the weight off that axle. SLight tap of the barkes and the back axle would lock up for a couple seconds, resulting in lots of smoke  :D  :D Needless to say they where usually looking for someplace to run to.

Probably the trailer owners too, when he had to replace the flatspotted tires, prematurely.

 A friend was inspecting some destroyed brake drums when the dispatcher said "Those were almost new, we don't know what happened"
Mike:" I have a pretty good idea"
D "Whazzat?"
Mike: " Bad case of company trailer"

Yep, seen a bunch of that. Owner Operators are the worst, and container drivers at the top of that list.
