Wait until you get hit by CR England, your truck will be in the shop for a week.
WesternPlains Thanks this. -
I don’t need the talk about me choosing. I parked between two trucks. I’m actually practicing on purpose. Those trucks left.

Lol
I almost had a 90 year old in a celadon tanker smoke me but I laid on the horn.
How you can’t drive a tanker straight back is beyond me... they are the easiest because you can see way more.Last edited: Mar 17, 2018
WesternPlains Thanks this. -
Not entirely true. Was it a day cab? That’s his only excuse. Doesn’t matter what your pulling, Van, tank or spread axle if you’re in a sleeper cab it’s more difficult. You could have got your 300 pound butt out of the truck and helped the old timer out and probably learned something from him.

Dude I pull a tanker with a sleeper. It’s easier to back a tanker than any other trailer besides a flatbed with nothing on it.
I’m not 300 pounds I’m probably in better shape than you.
I was going in the store at the same time as him, I held the door for him and he didn’t say thank you and just looked at the floor. He was a prick, just because you’re old and drive a truck doesn’t mean I have to respect you.
You almost hit me and were a douche after even though I waved at you signaling “it’s all good” go kick rocks crabby old #######...austinmike Thanks this. -
I do farm pickup in a day cab and know what it can be like backing down those muddy slopes to the barn in the dark. Bumping docks in a van is far easier then pulling a tank. In most situations. But why would you wave all good if he was about to scrape you. personally that would pi** me off. He probably knew he was on top of you and about ready to pull up.Fold_Moiler Thanks this.

Idk why I waved, I guess because I wanted him to know I didn’t hate him he was just too close for comfort.
He had no idea he was about to hit me, he was going for a spot next to me but was waaaaay off into my spot. Probably just tired as hell. I know I can’t back worth a #### when I’ve been up for way too long.
Yeah bumping docks is easier but at least we don’t have to argue with warehouses over a door or whatever it is they do... Only kind of line a tanker sees is waiting to get a load and I’m paid by the hour.Woodchuck88 Thanks this.
