Don't worry, it doesn't get easier....

I had the same problem. With 100 docks and I have to hit 47. No lines on the floor, no trailer next to it. I have no point of reference and I'll miss it by 3 docks

 

lol, been there.

Sometimes you just gotta stop for a minute or two, clear your head, laugh at yourself and then get back to doing it.

 

Even the more experienced drivers have an off day backing into a dock( who doesn't). It happens. But the important thing is that it is a learning experience that'll teach you to do better next time.

 

I do the same thing. Got an RGN....gotta back into bld. Door is 14' wide. Been doing this since 87' Gotta be sunspots or something

 

I can hit a dock with trucks on either side but give me a mty dock and I cant hit anything. I started carrying a bright orange hocky puck to mark the correct dock so i have a reference.

 

lol! yeah,my mirror geometry sux too when i have nothing to reference location by.

 

Hahaha yeah I have those days too. Go to pick up in the tightest blind side dock with trees and walls and sun reflecting off everything and hit it first shot. Dropping off at a huge warehouse with all the room in the world and I have to do 10 pull ups before it's even angled into the right direction

 

I love everyone's honesty. Thanks for all you do.

 

Every time I have an "off" day of backing there's like 75 people standing around watching. Give me the hardest dock ever, I nail it in one shot, and there's NOBODY around to witness it! Why is that???
