Several years back I had a woman park across the dock I was backing into. She said she's only be a minute, I told her my doors are open, my hazards are on (yes I always use them when backing) and I was backing up. She hopped out and ran inside anyhow, I kept backing, the guy on the dock motioned for me to stop when I was 6" from her door.
He then proceed to climb into my trailer and toss boxes over the roof of her car to a co-worker on the dock. He even "accidently" dropped a couple on her car. When she came out 20 minutes later, they were still at it. She was pissed and yelled and screamed. We told her, we'd only a couple of minutes. She finally realized it was her fault and told them to stop and she would move her car. I've been back to that place many times, and every time I still see her car, but now it's parked as far from the loading docks as possible.
Don't get mad at me because you don't know how to drive!

I said its what they taught me, not what I belive. I have found some very helpful people here, and much like nana stated in another thread, always pay it forward, I buy those 'meals in a bag' and those 'donation food bags' on holidays because many of my meals came from them growing up, same with toys for tots, I plan to quite happily help when I can.

Our instructor was telling us how he had a box hanging on his engine block for just such a thing!
Texas-Nana Thanks this. -
I made it 2 minutes. That "trainer" should be demoted...immediately. -
haven't you ever learned about arguing with women? when my wife get's in an argumentative mood, I just nod my head and agree with her. -
I have noticed some people actively LOOK for arguments in responses and feel froggy at any chance they can, myself included.
When in certian moods. -
I only made it 1:41 in on that video. Yes that trainer should be fired. As for the parking spot at the truck stop, once you drive off its open for anybody.

I was watching you two. Had you given that guy a little more space he would have backed in. Next time if you're gona get that close at least give him some vaseline and introduce yourself.
-
You weren't watching me. There was all kinds of room in front me. I was no where near him or his space to back in.
