going to the dark side for a day

When I get stuck with a van I tarp it, makes it look better.

 

Logan , just take your time backing in , if you can try not to blindside it if possible go slow , if your unsure get out and look , don't ever feel that it looks foolish to others to get out ,even us truckers who have years in the biz get out and look. Once in the lane go easy and don't bang the dock those hinges are meant to breakaway on purpose on the doors as you must know and break very easy . Good luck , you will do just fine .

 

Don't forget, it has doors too. Open BEFORE backing to the dock, close AFTER leaving the dock......

 

yes sometimes you are required to slide tandems, i try to do this just prior to bumping dock , after i am square and in lane.

 

When you open the doors, stand back, especially if you didn't close the doors at the shipper.

 

Just make sure you come back....and stay away from the light.

 

Heard that happen with a Swift Flatbedder. Hated van so much he tarped it, since they told driver we tarp everything, so he did.
