    I'm seeing a lot of this and wonder why truckers pull into a parking spot to have to back out of the spot later . I watched this happen this am and must of took person 20 or so mins to do so . I just don't get it

    sometimes, it's for the QUIET from parking next to noisey engines, air-driers and reefers, and general trafic at a truck stop.

    other times, it's cuz the driver is so dog tired, he just wants to park quick, and go to sleep.

    or the sun is in their eye......you can do it if you find the right spot. However, in most truckstops, there's only about 4 of them.

    It is a bad habit to get into. Plus getting out will be even harder as you wont be able to see past the trailers that are beside you.
    Nope never done it. Dont even want to try
