    Funny thing is i will use a trashcan when j back up so i wont hit other critical objects. Put trashcan at back corner of trailer and when i nudge it tells me when to stop. Lol. Specially worked good after my left eye retina surgery. My dept pereption was abit off

    Rubbermaid can handle it better than my grille sticking out another 2 feet... They won't put it there again. ;)

    Actually it was, i went to empty my trash there and there was a bunch in thete already. Unlike other scum that parks next to me I throw away my trash in trash cans not dump it in parking lot or next to fuel pump.

    I put a camp light next to where I want the wheel to stop. Works in all situations.

    Im more worried about bio hazard and infectious needles left around that messy area. What a hole...

    At the Flying J in Evanston, WY, they have some over-sized parking curbs on the back row. Trucks would back in, clear them (barely), then pull the brake buttons, some of the trailers would drop a bit (bags dump), then they'd pull out in the morning before the bags fully inflated and the ICC bumper would end up dragging the curbs half way into the parking spot before the bumper would get enough clearance to turn them loose. :biggrin_25523:
