    If your truck and trailer can wait next time like someone said find a mom and pop wash.You could be waiting an hr or better at the beacon.

    I am going to try this. Putting my new clean clothes on than going to shower. No need for backpack. Makes for more time efficiency.

    I donate a lot of my time to serve others less fortunate than I. So naturally I'll use Line 1 during these community service functions. I guess I'm just a really nice person in that I try to be anonymously magnanimous and do not seek any recognition.

    How much you can do in your 30 is directly related to how big of a hurry you are in!!! If you need to go that 30 drags on forever!!! If you're trying to do something for yourself that 30 is over in 5 minutes!!!
     
    ZVar, spyder7723 and Oldironfan Thank this.

    The other early morning in Memphis I was backed in. I watched another driver come in and was targeting a dock about 5 doors down, a trailer dropped to the left and open door to the right about 4 feet between door openings.

    She started a normal sight side back but didn't get off to a good start but she was on track to getting herself corrected after a few pull-ups. About the time she was on the final leg, a voice in her head told her to pull out, go down a ways, turn around and come back and set up for a blindside back. I'm scratching my head, but dam if she didn't get in there with about the same amount of effort she did on her first attempt.

    You learn a lot about the human condition as you watch the way others go about performing a task ... learn enough to discover that what works for one may not be compatible with another's thought process so I try and avoid helping others back unless it's obvious property may be at risk.

    If you can avoid blind side. Always do.
