What % of all truck stops are tight backing only

I start school on Monday and that video scares the crap outta me....

 

Oh dont worry driver, there are harder spots than that....

 

I bet! I figure it will just take time and practice...and practice...and practice.

 

Yup, rule 1. Get the f out and look!
Rule 2, ignore any and all smart ### comments from super truckers! Its your truck and your butt. Cover it.

 

Those kind of spots still make me go nope, not going to try it.

 

Trust me, the "other option" in that "Love's" is worst than the first.

 

It should.

Having said that, you will do well to take your time and GOAL as many times as you have to. NEVER be embarrased to get out and look. I think much more highly of a driver that GOAL's than one that doesn't.

 

Check this guy out.

 

I think you're right, he certainly drove off around the side awefully quick.

Only time I ever go to that Love's is bobtail. I drove for Swift and Roadrunner both of which have terminals a few miles away where there is plenty of parking. Just come down to the Loves if I needed to scan my paperwork or take a shower, maybe get a part from the Pete dealership across the freeway or go to the casino or have subway. lol

 

That was so terrible I had to watch it twice just to verify the possible train wreck. At least he stopped before the guy in the bunk got knocked out. Even doing backing for the last 5 weeks i'd know to set up better than that.
