    Nobody values your life as much as you should value it. Being a nice guy doesn't repeal physics. Be careful.

    Usually for me, GOAL was Get Out And LAUGH!!:biggrin_2559:
    I never needed "a spotter", just the continuous PRACTICE, night/day, Rain and/or Snow "events", Ice Ice baby, Hell Fire [summer] in Laredo or Phoenix.

    I randomly helped some people in Truck Stops (specifically in the '00 Decade) as well @ Shippers/Receivers and other places but not every day.

    I was doing moving and had my son with me. When backing in crazy spots I was on the phone with him so I could here precisely.

    Time to uninstall YT on my phone. Clicking that link opened a full screen ad that couldn't be closed or stopped.

    If I’m ever behind the vehicle I always make sure to stay on the sight side. If I need to go to the blind I will be at the front where the driver can see me. And I make sure it’s clear if he ever loses sight of me he needs to stop right away I will figure it out quick.

    They usually mean well, and are trying to be helpful. I thank them and tell them to please stay out of my way. I don’t want to run you over, and you’re making me nervous. Trying to watch out for them is usually more of a distraction than a help.
     
    nredfor88 and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    I mean... technically speaking, it's not wrong. Too easy to choose not to start using, and to choose not to accept any loads that don't consist of freight...
