I seldom use the jack wheel. It doesn't roll too well, especially on anything but smooth concrete. When I have to jockey the unhitched trailer around, I use a "trailer dolly" device. It has two large pneumatic tires and a long handle that makes pushing the trailer around quite a bit easier, especially in tight or confined areas (my driveway!!). If you do make use of the jack wheel, make sure you remove it when towing or you could easily lose it as it rotates on the jacking tube.
