I hate a tight dock where there is no room in front and you have to put it between two shiny peterbilts.

1st of sir your set up is the most important thing 2nd do you have traffic or do you have time if you have traffic b4 you start to back make sure your out of the way and walk it thru your head and when you see you have a break in traffic its time to shine or you will have impatient people coming around you. If you have time take it slow and keep getting out to look key is once you find that angle it becomes second nature you may need a spotter in the beginning but once they see you got it they wont come to the rescue its all you. Its a dock in Cali 1st time took me 30mins with spotters once i found the angle 7mins real story i heard a driver took 5 hrs to get into the same dock. Always get out and visualize it before you do it. will make it easier

It looked like he had it several times if he just followed thru instead of pulling up.
