    You're doing it the correct way; you didn't hit anything!

    All those Brazilians look so ‘Merican. That makes me color blind.

    That's all I really care about at this point honestly . I'm on thin ice too after having a backing incident on my first back to shipper in June .

    At 3.5 ish months of experience now I can get into most spaces myself with some pull ups / get outs if needed.

    Well technically now I'm on a Walmart account so the difficulty of my back's arent as hard . Alot of Walmart docks have half a mile of space to maneuver and back straight into and most of the DCs can be a little tight but usually have enough space to pull up and correct it.

    Yes. I guess bad vision. Guess that is why I wear glasses.

    I’ve did a delivery like that 3 months into my driving career in Utah and it was a bit tighter then that.

    now I’m not saying that parking job was easy, but I am saying it wasn’t that difficult for anyone with common sense.

    Tight means tight, she had a lot of room for the trailers rear to swing once her trailer axles got past the gates.

    I seem to recall a video from a couple years ago of a nearly 80 year old Brazilian woman driving flat bed and tarping loads down there. They are tough people. They're also a little crazy.
