    Thanks, that is true because after that I was backing into dogs a lot faster than usual.

    :biggrin_25521: Say what? :biggrin_25523: The faster they run, the harder they are to hit. So, ah, how did you tackle that first sucker? (You shaved the fence with the d-side trailer tandems, straightened out, pushed 'er back (look out for that dog!), and slid right up to the dock. The dock guy said, "Nice back-up driver, but are ya gonna open the doors?") :biggrin_25523: Hey, NNG, if you ever do that you won't be the first! Anyway, you're off to a good start. Tough docks are actually fun after a while and pretty soon you'll be
    looking forward to the nut busters. Safe Trip.

    Yup its the Arkansas Rice Depot. Yeah while docked I noticed three different trucking school trucks pass by and I thought that was interesting to see so many in one area.

    I would have waited for the bus to get out of the way! :biggrin_2559:

    Any docking where you don't leave parts and can drive away safely is a good docking!!!!!

    I actually seen a guy go into that dock. He put on his four-ways and past the dock and backed it in on the driver's side in about 15 seconds. No easy feat though, I'm judging he's been there no than once lol!
