    The over head image makes the 12 foot wide road look wider that it isnt. It isnt hard to do with a 20 foot trailer and a pick up. Tho I did spot for the driver whom eventually lumped it at the start position.

    In the summer time that road becomes a one way road with near the old YMCA location. Most of the through traffic will turn off at Ledgelawn Ave and avoid the tourists by driving over to the baseball field

    Back when @Humblepie was OTR at JB Hunt as a trainer, he got into some difficult backing situations. He just kept on til he got the hang of it. This particular picture was when he was swatting at a yellow jacket and backing at the same time.

    The silver lining is the trailer was fine so he kept his safety bonus.

    Well, they were lucky I didn’t file a workers comp claim. That yellow jacket stung me in the chin. I bailed out of the truck, and it hit the building. The supervisor came out yelling and cussing me. I told him “look hoss, you keep yelling I’m gonna call my cousin Johnny (Johnny Cochran) and I’ll own this whole GD place”. I told him how bees ain’t osha approved and he’s a racist. He changed his tune awful fast when I showed him that picture of me and Johnny at Talladega.

    The end of the trailer drives me nuts. Usually drive with the Tandems all the way forward. And pulling out of tight spots, I worry my tailwhip is going to remodel something. Its never happened, but still always bugging me

    Yellow arrow is the dock. Red arrow is how you enter through an alley. Sprinkle in some customer cars in those angled spots. 20190309_224346.jpg
