While I was out in training, we encountered a situation that I would like some "For Future Reference" information for.
We came to a distribution center, check in, and were asked to park in a somewhat over crowded staging parking lot. To wait for our number to be called. We pulled to the end, out of the way of all we could foresee. Someone left a space, two other trucks came up to fill it before we could react. One started pulling into position, and began backing. Nothing was hit, no one maimed, but all was not well.
A driver, my trainer called a "Super Trucker" started screaming and howling at everyone and everything. His words for me? "Back the #$%k up or I'm going to kick your F#$%ing @#s" over and over again. All this while pacing around and screaming, barking orders at everyone in shouting distance. We backed up, though it wasn't necessary. The other driver pulled in. And later we took the spot next to him. I took a pic or two of his truck and turned in his info at the guard shack at our turn to pull into the distribution center. The ladies in there took interest in this situation and 3 hours later, after we finished unloading and started to leave, we saw him pulling up for his turn. He was originally there before us, and got out after. We saw that as justice.
I now open this up for discussion. Any comments, stories, or reprimands I may deserve. Is there anything I could have done better? Did I do this right?
Edit, thought to include a pic of the guy's truck.

Let me guess, he beats his wife if he has one. He looks for hours in the mirror at himself. He once beat up a 3rd grader when he was in the 9th grade so he think he is tough. He threw temper tantrums as a kid until his parents gave in.
He is one that ties up the fuel island and parks beside the Catscale. He has a rebel flag hanging up as a curtain. He loves his 6" belt buckle but can only see it when he is not wearing it. He gives everyone the mean look and has never held a door open for someone in his life. This is the 4th job he had this year after paying off his England loan and he discovered they are all the same. He stubbed his toe and ripped his flip flop in two.
