What is it with reefers parking next to us flatbedders?

And that comment is from a dry van seat warming know it all...I'll take my 48' spread and back circles around your Big G box and park it in spots that would make you wet your Depends...oh wait, I forgot...you're the all knowing, all doing Supreme wonder boy...my mistake.

 

All jokes aside, I have been on sites with a flatbed or step where the obstacle course would put any grocery warehouse or anything else built for trucks to shame, not to mention the distances through some obstacle courses. lol

 

It also makes you hungry and tired

 

What do we always tell the rookies... Practice backking into the harder spots when the lot is empty... What is hard to back into in an empty lot... The spot next to another truck... So they do just as we always tell them... It just so happens that the majority of trucks in a near empty lot for aome reason are nearly always opendecks... Why is it that when everyone else is off working the opendecks guys are sitting in a nearly empty truck stop... And dont give me the we run at night line... I run nights a lot, and all I see in significant numbers are the bullwagons and the LTL guys

 

I should introduce you to Dumas Texas where there is the one meat plant to the west of the main drag in town. That one has a rail yard around about 20 seperate cars, some of which are covered in flies. I had to back my spread around some of them, cross several tracks to reach a remote dock deep in their building complex to get hides bound for mexico.

I was told two things, Keep my windows and vents shut, they will sign and tape the bills to one of the pallets back there. And was out of there the hard way when loaded.

That one was unloaded at Eagle Pass. The wash out was something to behold. at least no flies that I know of once the lubbock winds had a chance to work on it.

 

I usually park next to someone who just shut down, with my flatbed, so I only have to worry about one person who might take off my hood instead of two.

 

LOL, I went to load hides ONCE, and left them where I found them, no way was they putting them stinky things on my truck. lol

 

what about hair. asking for a friend

 

Drivers can’t back into or pull thru a spot unless there is another truck for reference. It’s annoying as heck. If you’re in the seat and see this happening, start moving to another spot as they are getting near you. They will get all goofed up. It’s fun.
