    I get so tired of these places that have the proverbial "40 acres" but block u every way they can and you end up doing a blind side jacKknife.

    I had a customer that boasted for a year about constructing a large turnaround lot so we didnt have to back out a half mile....they finally finished it 3 weeks ago, then put a large dumpster next to it. Of couse we dont have enough room now, so they use it to park their four wheelers. Thanks for that.

    If I had a way to hookup my old computer hard drive I'd have a great picture. Had to back through a small parking lot full of cars and then across a small 12' wide street into a dock with 2" to spare next to another truck and about 2" to spare next to a cement wall :)

    Was so proud I took pictures lol

    In the early 1970s, a new hospital was built in Ottawa, IL. I delivered construction materials to the hospital's new loading dock. Delivery involved backing down a ramp and blindsiding 90 degrees.

    It is wonderful to be retired. On my last job, I frequently had to shovel trailers out of bull pens and pit docks. Also had to shovel and sand under nose of trailers before hooking up.

    This old man has been there many of a time. They made Girl Scouts Cookies and it was a pain and back when I was going there, we had cabovers and it was still tight.
