    hell, I once pulled out of a spot to let swift back into his easier before baking back in next to him.

    But I'm a nice guy like that.

    Uh-huh. Get over that nice warm fuzzy feeling in your tummy. All these "helpful folks" were just protecting their own rigs, being afraid you'd hit em and all. Don'tcha know?:p:D

    That's when you know you suck when 2 guys come sprinting toward to you out of nowhere to offer a spot. :)

    I'll go park at Walmart before I sit there and make an ### of myself while the peanut gallery sits there and giggles. Some of those blindside, 45*, between-two-trucks-and-look-how-narrow-this-aisle-is parking lots you commonly find at TA and sometimes Flying J...it's like they were hoping trucks would hit each other when they designed the parking lot! Shouldn't take 2 spotters and 20 minutes to park a truck.

    Hey, how'd you get that picture of me practicing off road to get ready for my current gig?

    By the way, all that really cool ground effects plastic stuff hanging all around the bottom of your tractor? Turns out it's easily removed with a mile or two of running in the dirt.

    Someone's about to hit you, the horn sounds like a good plan.

    After that I may help them, or I may not.

    The dude that was having trouble, did they get out and look at any point?
     
    G13Tomcat Thanks this.
