Trouble was, he pulled out onto the street and the rollers contacted, the bus proceeded about 2 feet when the drive tires became airborne and there he sat. And there everyone on the street sat.
There are ramps to help with this. In fact you can make them with good quality 2X8s and a support block in the center.

I've always imagined something like that as a possibility, but never heard or read of it really happening. Funny.
I've considered putting some on....especially after the first time I dragged...but I've only ran into that issue a small number of times
and
my rig is on the E-450 chassis with a very long extension frame sticking out back there. I'm very doubtful that this frame would do well supporting the whole weight of the RV...or perhaps even a majority....so I'm not too keen on adding something that will cause me to contact the ground even a few inches sooner, because that's a few more inches of lift that will be trying to bend that frame.
