    Day 5 over we did alley to alley offset parking. The scenario is that you pull into dock 5 and they tell you to pull over to dock 6 instead...so, you gotta pull up and slide over a space.

    There was A LOT more to this maneuver than I thought there would be but we all did great at it. Once we slide over the the next dock (set of cones) we had to finish a strait back and pull forward back into the original dock .

    This and more tomorrow...

    Shippers and receivers usually preface that request " hey stupid I said dock 6" :biggrin_25523: actually heard that told to a JB Hunt driver... he was in my dock.:biggrin_2552:
