The 45mph limit is just so u-haul can cover its ***... the trailers can handle highway speeds no problem. Some people say back the car on the dolly but it can cause serious problems if you don't get the front wheels straight. You can pull the car on forward as long as you disconnect the drive shaft so it doesn't spin the tranny the entire trip. It can cause a lot of wear on the tranny if you pull it with the drive shaft connected for hundreds of miles since the tranny will spin but without proper lubrication.
