    Can't deliver until tomorrow morning in Anaheim....sitting here in Hesperia (Pilot) being well entertained by...well by "truck drivers" and of course "wanna be's"! Anyway....across from me and down a few spots is a space that seems to not allow any driver to easily "get in the hole". It is wide open, two empty spaces on each side, plenty of room in front...so actually would appear to be a no brainer. But every truck that has attempted this spot has had to do at least 3 pull ups, and some even pull out and reset to try again. They end up all katywhompus, tandems crossing into the open space....IT'S HILARIOUS WATCHING IT! Any other "jinxed" spots out there you can think of?

    Sometimes I spot a space and I will start to set up and then I'll see where the trucks on both sides are not backed in straight where its wide open at the front but at the rear its to tight.
