    By the 3rd guy to try I’d either been sleeping or filming to put on YouTube especially if you tried to help.

    Wait until you get hit by CR England, your truck will be in the shop for a week.

    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.

    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 #######...

    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.

    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.
