    I'm kidding a little bit. But then again I really am that guy that would rather grab an easy spot and take a longer walk across the parking lot rather than make an ### of myself trying to shoehorn into something hard. Not worth the risk.

    Maneuvering trucks take time behind the wheel. The most important lesson from this is knowing when it's not going to fit before you try it.

    The biggest mistake I see drivers doing when backing is trying to back in using a 45 degree angle instead of getting the trailer straight in line with the mty spot and push it back straight as possible. The rear of a 53 swings wide when the axles are slide ahead.
