    You might be wrong there boss, don't forget most nowadays drivers wear flip flops so they can start figuring quicker. :D

    All I know is when I graduated from the trucking academy, I was never issued a protractor.

    I can't even imagine how much time I would've saved if I had the proper angle Intel at the start.
     
    Oxbow and Old_n_gray Thank this.

    I'm fairly certain, given that it would be physically impossible to turn over the protractor, ONLY a blind-side back could be considered a 45-degree back. And yes, it is impossible to change my mind on this topic.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    What is it with folks getting their panties in a wad over being hired over 90 degree backs, 145 degree backs, over the shoulder 180 degree backs, etc. The companies I got hired with, "can you back in there?" "yes" "show me". Done. No secret handshakes for super secret alley docks, etc. Jesus.
     
    Oxbow, Hammer166, tscottme and 2 others Thank this.

    If you don't know the degrees, you can't tell how long to leave it in the oven.
