    I had a home depot manager bark that at me. I told him you can keep your precious 30 foot flatbeds.

    (I almost made the circle but was short 8 feet when the trailer overhang took the inventory out.)

    I appreciate that Meme picture, it has everything you can think of in it. I can think of a couple more that will fit right in there but it's a very good picture.

    i had to hit a dock one time in illinois.. u had to get lined up at 90 once u get it straight there was a muddy field about 3 ft in front of u no room to pull up , it just rained so my steers was getting stuck about 1 ft from the field.. lets just say it took about 20 minutes to hit that dock straight, luckily it was nobody watching. maybe the security guard laughing watching his monitor

    Get out and look more. Walk all the way around the truck. Especially once you start getting frustrated. It gives you a much better perspective of what you're up against.

    Joe Coronado parked all the way across all the doors this morning, took me 3 or 4 pull ups to get in here.

    You didn't hit anything = successful back.

    Now that's a professional. He protected that trailer and the customer's product at all costs.
