Harder to hit open docks?

No, not all docks, open or otherwise, will have lines, seams or markings of any kind. I've been to many a dock that was fresh or recently paved asphalt, or had concrete pads that have seams at an angle to the dock, or the lines were painted by amateurs that never thought of using a right angle and a chalk line to set the lines before painting.

@Canadianhauler21, can you give us an idea how far off your talking? Too far to one side or another, or your angle is off?

I usually cut it too close one way or another. I'm either one dock or half a dock off everytime. I just end up backing it straight as possible and doing a few forward S to get it over.

I have the same problem. I am as green as they come, and am OK with equipment on either side, and although im not the fastest at putting it in the hole, I can get it in without tearing anything up. I had to back up to an open dock (7 doors, all empty) the other day, my god... It WASNT pretty... Half of my problem is I am not a fan of the lines on the ground, so I rarely use them to help guide me... its a habit I need to break
