1. A method of verifying stabilization of a parked semi-trailer, the method comprising:
positioning a semi-trailer stabilizer underneath a forward portion of the parked semi-trailer, and toward a rear end of the parked semi-trailer, while at least two ground supports of the semi-trailer stabilizer are elevated above the ground, where the at least two ground supports are operatively coupled to one another via a cross-member and operatively coupled to at least one angled brace, where positioning the semi-trailer stabilizer includes positioning each of the at least two ground supports to be located on an opposing side of a longitudinal center plane of the parked semi-trailer;
repositioning the at least two ground supports, after the semi-trailer stabilizer is positioned underneath the forward portion of the parked semi-trailer, to cause the at least two ground supports to contact the ground, where at least a portion of the semi-trailer stabilizer extends beyond a footprint of the parked semi-trailer; and,
displaying a camera image, of a relative position of the semi-trailer stabilizer and the parked semi-trailer, on a visual display within an interior of a loading dock adjacent to the parked semi-trailer.
