    Hopefully its practicing your backing up, so you can take your diapers off and back in a parking spot at a truck stop like a big boy.

    it is far more respectable to understate ones own skill than to bite off more than one can chew

    I always park up front and close to the truck stop, and never on the ends. Like to look out and see the truck when I'm eating. I do not care to nose in, iv done it a few times, but not often.

    Please start a whining sub forum. Then the guys complaining about reefers have somewhere to go along with Blanche.

    Personally, I never nose into a space. I like to be able to see the traffic lane when I'm leaving. In fact, most times, I actually back into spaces with my personal vehicle at the mall, Walmart, etc, as well.

    My Big Bubba has less overhang than my tractor. If I'm parking where everyone has backed in with their rear end hanging over the curb by 5 or more feet than one end of my truck is going to stick way out and I usually prefer my trailers shiney hiney to be out there. But I wont park there if the travel lane is narrow because that just makes life difficult for anyone around me.
    Idont like the sun shining in my cab all morning when i need some sleep so if I cant find a west facing spot then I may pull in.
