Trouble Hooking Up Trailer due to "Gear Slack"????

When I hook up my trailer by myself I have a problem with my truck rolling forward or backward after putting it in park and taking my foot off the brake. I get lined up on the ball and then the truck...

Once your lined up set your parking brake and then put it in park.

If it should roll still then you need to adjust your parking brake.

My wives truck was bad when we tried it for our ATV trailer. All the way to the floor and it still rolled.
Once tighted up it was all good. She wasn't in the habit of using it and I don't drive her truck. Mine is always set
