    Practice multiple setups too. There is more than one way to park a truck. Whenever possible search for two open spots next to each other so you don't have to worry about tail swing on your blind side.

    Talking with drivers who have been in the business who lament how much trucking has changed. I have only been driving for a little while and I see how reluctant many drivers are to help one another out. I have no problem getting off my ### and helping another driver back into a tight spot.
