I would be afraid to nose in. When you drive past the spot to set up to back in you can eyeball it and make sure it's clear. If you nose in who knows what's going on behind you when you try to back out, even if you goal you are still backing out into a lane of moving traffic so it's potentially constantly changing right?

You always blow that horn when you back up.....do it LTL style lolTexas_hwy_287 and FlaSwampRat Thank this.

I nose in all the time when I'm in the back or sides, which is where I prefer.
Then the highly trained professionals I'm surrounded by can chew on the trailer, rather than my truck.Texas_hwy_287, Long FLD, Just passing by and 1 other person Thank this. -
All you nosers.....just make sure you don’t hang your arse out there an extra 10 ft because you didn’t back your trailer tires up to the curb

Back in my chicken hauling daze I use to nose in a lot. But, I always did it in a place I had no problem getting out!
And mostly in the far back of the parking lot. I have no problems walking.starmac Thanks this. -
i used to drive pretty late, and usually nosed in. By the time I woke up and was ready to go, the trucks around me were considerate enough to have pulled out and gone on to their day. Don't remember ever having to back out.
starmac Thanks this. -
We do this a lot so there's less noise from reefer units. It helps to know how to back when it comes to getting out.

Yes sir ...as soon as I park that unit goes on continuous.skellr Thanks this.

When I was pulling a 52ft spread if I couldn’t back my rear axle up over a curb or onto grass I would nose into a spot if it was a straight back out. If I backed in with my rear axle at the curb my cab and hood would be sticking out past everyone else, so I’d rather nose in and have someone tag the trailer instead. Now that I’m pulling a short trailer I back in. The front of my truck is even with everyone else.
buddyd157 Thanks this. -
And you have a short hood now.
