    Good thing he doesn't have to pay for trailer tires turning around in those tight cul-de-sacs.

    Simple you just pull into it keeping your tandems as tight to the right as possible then just follow the curb all the way around...

    Col-de-sac's just look intimidating when your in a 70'+ long truck, but theres more then enough room.

    I just like to tell it how it is, I was surprised that I did that many miles I thought it would be closer to 2200. And I figured I wouldnt deliver until tomorrow at 11 am lol
