    Square up to the hole before going in. In a tight spot you might have zero room for tail swing within the spot itself, meaning you've got to get all your pivoting done out in front of the spot.

    At Supervalu in Tacoma, you back in until your mirrors have to be pulled in, back in blind the last 15'. Your doors will touch the doors of the trailers on both sides. Then they take min 6 hrs to unload.

    You want to rethink this first statement? "Back" means moving the tandems to the rear of the trailer making the "wheel base" of the trailer LONGER

    Always hated that place, especially because we always went in there with 28' pups!
