    I apologize if this doesn't make sense. I've never tried to describe it before. As you pass by the center of the spot you want to set up for, look to the other side for a point of reference directly across from it. Don't turn towards that point too soon or your trailer will need more space to line up. Go just beyond your reference point and then cut hard towards it. The less room you have to work with to get straight, the further beyond that point you go and the tighter you cut your turn back to it. Once you're straight, you should be lined up pretty good.

    Don't take my word for any of this though. My ability to back still seems directly related to how many people are watching.

    Find a truck stop with open spots on both sides of the lane.

    Put the spot you want in the drivers window.

    Pull into the spot in the passenger window.

    Back up.

    Repeat till perfect.

    Well we know you'd rather be driving a hood so riding on the floor fits you :)

    Well from what I have observed most Poly drivers are very loyal and stick up for their company so Management should be happy with what they're reading... and maybe listen to them and try to fix a few things to help with retention...

    Lord have mercy I hate Food Lion DC here in Dunn, NC.
    10:30 appt. Arrived at 09:30. It's now about 12:15 and STILL waiting.
    Last time I was here it was a 4 hour wait.
    Ugh.
