From the fuel island: you're doing it wrong file

there are many truckstops where you cannot tell which way is which

(of course, having four other trucks facing the opposite way, should give you a clue)

 

maybe he needed fuel bad or didnt have time to wait for the prime drivers comin in the other way to finish their showers and lunch ?

 

...and you don't see those four other trucks until you have pulled in. What would you have us do, back out into the street and come in the right way, or just deal with it as it is?

 

I think he needs to be more concerned with where he has his tandems slid to. Looks quite a bit long to me.

 

I had an '11 KW T660 with the def tank on the passenger side. I had to pull in the wrong way every time I had to fill it because the hoses are not long enough to reach across the catwalk. If I had to fill it during busy times, I would drop the trailer in a parking spot first. But if it was late at night, I'd just pull thru backwards with the trailer. I got the ol' evil-eye look from many drivers while doing that, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I no longer have that truck.

 

Laughed till I hurt especially when I seen the pic of this thread on TTR while he was watching someone else do it. Kinda compressed now I never get to see anything good in the real lol

 

Up next, we have FedRex. The real reason they flip those trucks? The bottoms are painted orange and they have a grudge against Schneider.

After that, we have Schneider where skill in backing doesn't matter. Just treat it like sex. Get it in there without hurting anyone? G.O.A.L.!

I might have seen that once or twice, but I didn't dare ask why they did it. Just shook my head and moved on.

 

This was my thought. We have two KW's that have the DEF tanks on the curbside - what a pain in the ###.
