Thought it was G.O.A.L
Get Off you lazy Arse and Look lol

 

Well gotta love your place ifn the telephone poles ain't bad enuff they gotta go put steel bars around em all to protect them! Lol
Yeah yall have a couple doors that really do suck--haven't been in a few years tho but doubt it has changed

 

I had to jackknife into an indoor dock, only had to pull forward once.

 

Just recently they beefed up security around the poles. But there was a wall actions from 7 and 8 door that they recently had to take cause trucks kept getting hung up on it. It was more like a real high curb. Enough that if you backed over it it would take out your oil pan or fuel tank.

 

Lots of good posts--The most important thing is PATIENCE--slowdown take ur time--pay attention--ANY job is only as HARD as u make it!
And of course practice--it takes time folks--im lucky I guess(or cursed lol) I've only ever pulled a reefer--and have always done long haul LTL(forgive me there was my 18month brainfart where I ran linehaul for big R)
So it isn't unusual 4 me to hit 20 docks a week(did 7 today in and around NOLA)and u get used to it and it gets easier and easier--I haven't thought about what it takes to get in a hole in so long I have to think just to b able to explain it--My point in all this is:if u wanna get good at it DONT SHY AWAY FROM IT---don't look for pull thru spaces-BACK every chance u get--blindside as much as possible--start easy--stop to eat--park out back where there r 4-5 mt spaces--use the lines--make believe there r trucks parked&Blindside--as much as possible--90 degree the same--so when u encounter these situations--they won't bother u near as much--and it will get easier!
Just my $.02
