    In the parking lot of Little America, WY. USA Trucking goes to the back row area, turns two full revolutions around the trailer tandems...so tight the tires are turning backward...in third gear with his foot on the throttle. Truck going about 15 miles per hour at around 1400rpm. Not a U-Turn. Just two full 360s, hammering down and then go park.

    Is this some sort of method to correct wheel allignment or something?

    I'm standing there saying, "What the h***??"

    actually it does help...
    it all depends on which way the wagon is doglegging as to which way you spin it around...although its not neccessary to do it at such a high rate of speed.

    I figure he is just trying to rebalanced his load that shifted to one side on his way in. :)
