You may have a point.
And in his defense I've had place that were straight back in's and was all over the #### lot -
Well I posted this in the new drivers forum because I suck at anything I cant take with my normal drivers side approach - also, from the way you come into this place, it IS a total blind side. Also keep in mind that all the docks were full, and I had 3 inches on either side. There was no room for a pull up - straight back in. It HAD to be taken on an angle, blindside, around a brick wall.
-
According to the Heinz people you have to back into the lot from the street so you dont do a blindside, goofy as hell, who designed these places? Personally I dont mind doing a blindside.
Oh and I love the ones that have a fire hydrant surrounded by metal tubing right in front of certain docks, brilliant engineering!! -
As strange as it sounds-(and not trying to be a smarta**)-that is exactly what I would have done--with all the room between the bldg and dropped trailers--and what looks like at least 2-3docks between wall and dropped trailer in door--I really would have just gently blind sided around building--not even trying to get straight in door--and then pulled up and lined up the door--but--like a couple of others mentioned--I do LTL--and well you just get used to it--besides after all these years of buying my own tires--I have an aversion to any very tight jacking whenever possible
Marksteven Thanks this. -

There's a couple of those in Salinas, but I don't remember which ones.

i like the challenge of a good tight back. Still, I have never been a blindside fan.

You think that's tight? Man I'd hate to see you get in an actual tight backing situation like this one. This is one of the easier ones I've been too with a 53' reefer.
