    That’s what a flatbed backs into and it puts the trailer at floor level while still allowing the forklift driver to load it from the sides.

    Yeah, just check your mirror before your tractor swings into an opposing lane. People don't see you unless you are in their lane. They arn't going to see whats about to happen.

    There were occasions where we do a rolling road block but 90% of the time we just went for it.
