Almost impossible to back in there!

I've just lately adopted the practice of opening the door and looking out as I back. I'm not trying to look cool or anything, I've just found that for me, even with the little FLD I drive, that I can judge the cut of my trailer so much better than if I just stick my arm up on the door and roll the window down. The truck I had in PA was a different story, the exhaust was right behind the door so I really had no option other than opening the door and standing on the step.

 

You must be good at backing.Unless I back there everyday I have to use both hands on the wheel to back.

Next, you'll be dumping all the air out of your seat and yelling at Swift to stay out of the hammer lane!

 

Nah, no yelling, but I don't run any air in my seat. Again this is preference, not a super trucker mentality

 

There is a tiny warehouse on my way to work. Let's just say from dock to ditch there is about 60-some feet. So the guy that works out of there has to jackknife his 53 footer in every day when he comes back from making his deliveries. EVERY DAY LOL. I will take pics soon.
