    Chicago and other places I go, are lousy when they plow that lake effect snow and leave it in the road for backing.

    All of that aero crap under the tractors and the trailer wings can get banged up.

    There is one in Baltimore that kind of takes the cake for me, though, behind a storefront line of buildings off a narrow street that trucks use to park while on home time, with a tapered lot that is almost 70 feet wide at the dock, and a low fixed dock.

    Wish we had something besides 53s for some of these places.


    I have too many memorable places to mention, and some of the most memorable actually have docks.:biggrin_2551:

    I'm not missing those icy docks that you slid down every time you tap the brakes just a bit too hard. Hate California but at least I escaped most of the snow and ice this year.

    That didn't look too awful bad, as the space next to his door was empty. If it weren't, I would be inclinec to call that impossible.
