    I hate the things. But realize they are required for some of our Canadian friends.

    If I could offer a word of advise. Learn to back. Then Back faster!!! If it takes you 20 minutes to back into your spot. I’m wide awake and pretty pissed when you’re done.

    I’m just sayin

    Wow! Really? Back faster? Ya, great advice there. Smfh.
    If there is one thing you take your time in doing in trucking and that's backing. Majority of accidents happen in truck stops and of those, it's backing related.
    If you get pissed off, that's YOUR issue and you need to deal with it.
    I would be much more appreciative of a driver being overly cautious and taking their time then a hot shot rushing to back up. How would you like it if they rushed and then hit your truck, caused so much damage that you can't drive your truck and make 0 revenue?

    Makes note Univite Steel Tiger to all future parties. No sense of humor, zero fun, party pooper.

    But I shall file your advise with the “I’m not giving you my high beams. They’re on low” and I didn’t know they could be adjusted group.

    PS, I’m here all day. Unless I take a nap.

    Mad at the world is more like it.

    Though It would have been interesting to watch him hit the dock I had yesterday. I was cussing that one myself. But it’s all in a day.

    I just thought he was being extra-considerate.

    You know, breaking down all the freight and working it to the rear of the trailer.

    *beep* *beep*
