    Yup. I could hear him arguing with FHP about how the other truck pulled behind him and didn't see him. Exact words were "why didn't you back in?"

    I about died laughing.

    That's what I was saying, I don't care if you nose in, but you are definitely taking a higher risk. Fortunately my wife is on the truck with me now, so if I end up nosing in (rarely) she gets out and backs me up.

    He had a look on his face like someone just threw his puppy down a well. He took his ticket and just went back to his truck. The trooper just kinda laughed and got in his car and left.

    The only thing I've ever hit backing up is a dock. If someone stops behind me I wait or go ask them to move their yass so I can go about my buiseness.

    I've thought it would be so much nicer if one truck nosed and one backed all the way down each row, to bad truck stops aren't made like that, takes up a lot of space, some are made to back in some appear to give the option in the right wholes. I'll nose in If I can get out safely later.i dread gettin boxed in,

    Maybe we need a thread complaining about people who nose in then cause a problem for us "backer-uppers". Or a thread complaining about people complaining.











    I say some people just need to grow up and quit being so soft.

    What does the property owner have to do with the law? With that thinking you could do anything you wanted on your own property and never have to worry about the cops.
