Remember, my trailer weighs in over 5 tons, so I'm not going to go 'hitting' the curb.

Looks like I have to straighten y'all out yet again..
I have never backed up over the curb. If someone was across the street , limiting maneuvering room, I'd just park the rig on the street until they left.
I have run over the curb a couple times 'exiting' my driveway due to tight conditions.

There's nothing wrong with backing over the curb if you use a 'ramp' and go slowly. If that helps
get your boat in the driveway, it's what you should be doing.

Us'ns don't need no straightenin'. We don't have the backing problem.
