    Why is that any different than everyone backed in together? The cabs are lined up that way. We nose in sometimes too! It depends on the situation, it's more dangerous to back out than to back in though. That's when someone will hit you! I see people nose in just because their lazy though.

    Now it does bother me when there are a ton of empty spots and you pull in right next to me. I agree with the other poster, space out!

    Thank you brother Ike! You hit the nail on the head with the herd mentality and this one who claims he can't back in because it makes it harder. Lol.

    Yeah I have had that happen to cluck and like I said a spread axle doesnt turn like a regular set of tandems. Imagine the hell i was in a foot from the trucks across from me and on the verge of rubbing the idiots trailer that nosed in.
