Ditto on "loading the chocks". I leave my rear chocks in place at the storage yard. Gives me a target when backing it in. I back in till the chocks stop the trailer. I then give it a little gas, hit the parking break and put it in park. Then place the front chocks. Put the truck in neutral, release the parking break and let the trailer settle into the chocks. Then put the truck in park and commence the unhitching process. Usually I have less than an inch of movement as the truck and trailer have already had the opportunity to go where they want when I had it in neutral.
When it's time to rehitch I have to release the pressure on the chocks to pull them. I do this by reversing the process.
My "leave in place chocks" are just pieces of old wood fence post cut at a 45. If someone feels they need them more than me, they can have them. I'll make more.
