<br><font size=3>I don't know of any car dollies that you can drive onto.
The only ones I know of that don't require jacking are go-jaks and
their clones. Go-jaks are great, but expensive. They, and all
of the dollies I am familiar with, have casters. I have never heard
of dollies with rollers. An asphalt floor would definitely be a problem
for most dollies with casters. Any with high quality casters are
awesome on a truly flat concrete floor. As the floor surface gets
rougher, they get much harder to use. Note, I said high quality casters.
Many dollies come with terrible casters, especially any of the cheap
Chinese ones. <br>
<br>
For boat trailers I have used jacks like this: <br>

<br>
I have considered mounting another pair at the rear end of the trailer
for maneuvering in situations like yours. I haven't ever tried it,
though. They aren't too expensive, though, if you want to give that
a try. My trailer is open. This may not make sense for an enclosed
trailer. <br>
<br>
People have been maneuvering trailers and cars using floor jacks for ages.
Of course, that doesn't work too well on a rough surface either.
