    Kinda funny about high reverse. It never occurred to me to do that. I load at a particular freezer often, where the office is at one end of the building and the doors I load from normally all the way at the other end. I always pull up to check in head first, then back all the way to the doors because the u-turn back there is a lil close for my taste. One day I rolled to a stop and forgot to hit low range before parking and going inside. Went to go to my door and wow! Gits-er-done!

    @RedForeman , you have reminded me of a story:

    Once upon a lifetime ago I used to haul chip potatoes to Frito Lay out of Southern Idaho. We would haul them loose (bulk) in a reefer. Potato handling equipment includes telescoping conveyors that can reach into the front of the trailer and then contract as the trailer is loaded. The loaders were typically pretty good at getting your weight close, but sometimes they were off a bit.

    Anyway, this particular day they had a fellow out of Montana that got his load on. When he weighed he ended up a bit heavy on the front, and he had fixed tandems on his trailer (old school). He asked them how they were going to adjust the weight, and they told him that if he gets going in reverse and then hits the brakes it should move enough.

    Well there was snow in the parking lot, but the county road was bare. This fellow gets lined out on the county road, and starts off in reverse. He shifted three times and then dynamited the brakes..... must have been going better than 25 mph. Suffice it to say he moved the weight, but I was afraid his doors were going to blow open when he did!

    The egg has to be fried over hard.
    A runny egg would be bad.
