    LOL

    Didn't think about that.

    He'd need more cameras.

    I pull a open deck trailer, haven’t bumped a dock in 30 years and you expect me to back in straight.
    I thought those lines were just suggestions.

    Rule of thumb about the flatbedders: if they work for the mega and they are a company driver, they will try to park in a spot. If the tarp job is flawless, or they fir the description of super trucker, they will probably park crooked.

    Just close your eyes and hope for the best, if you feel resistance against your trailer/truck, just keep on giving her hell. You'll get into that spot eventually. On a side note, I'll top everyone and just park in the #### grass, how bout dat?

    I'd say "Ha ha! JOke is on you people PEE In the grass!" But then I'd realize we're discussing truck stops an the like..so chances are all the pee is in the lot an not the grass. So you win. :(

    Sirscrapntruckalot - An here I always thought the P with a circle an line through it were for no parking. Now it's become clear. It's a no pee zone.
     
    Feedman and Oxbow Thank this.
