    Just walking into the truckstop to use the facilities, see this guy struggling to back into a tight spot. Helped him out with an extra set of eyeballs to prevent the crash into the illegally parked truck.

    This guy was trying to park a few spots down from me. I see he is having some trouble, pulling ahead about 3 times to reset his position. OK time to go help the guy then I see he has two spots wide to back into, plenty of room. But he is still unsure. Once I'm sure he has it go back to upload the video. Even as I'm uploading he is still trying to back it in lol.

    Be careful where you park before dark, sometimes when it is time to go you get trapped in. I got out finally OK then I see another trucker trying to back into the spot I just left.

    This poor guy-- I come out of the restaurant and see a bunch of drivers pointing and laughing at this guy struggling to back in. Get this, there were two people in the truck as well and the teammate who was sitting in the passenger seat would not get out and spot for his driver partner.

    You mean aside from sleeping and eating in a different place every night and when it comes time to take a shower I have to carry a bag of clothes around like a hobo?

    I've seen new drivers get more flustered as another driver or more attempts to help. Some just can't comprehend what another may be trying to convey and become more confused.

    Every situation and individual is different in how they may or may not be receptive to help. And sometimes the "help" becomes even more confusing when two or more try to assist in different manners. Example I may try to get the driver to abort, circle around and make another setup. While another keeps trying to make an impossible situation work.

    That said. A set of eyes on objects in perilous locations can never hurt.
