I honestly believe without the other incidents which was a jacknife and 3 more preventables and he wasn’t fired .If a jacknife and 3 preventables were ok how is a incident free u turn not ok?

I have been to some places getting loaded and unloaded where I have had to do U-Turns, either that or do a blind side back. U-Turns don't have to be dangerous or reckless. I once delivered in Kansas City, Kansas to a heckhole I wish I never had been and am thankful I won't ever have to go back. The place did NOT have a dock and was using a forklift with chains to pull the pallets to the door. I was lied to when give directions and told wrong. The driveway going into the business was about a 1/4 long and at the end was a wide place and the main door going into the shop. There was NO WAY I was going to get that 53 footer turned around in that parking lot. I had only one option and that was to back out, get back on the bridge and back up. Once I got the truck situated I could back all the way back into the place. Tough backing. Lots of traffic conflicts too. I'm just glad I got through it.
