Ok Im not one to brag but im kind of excited I parallel parked a 70' tractor trailer today. I know that means nothing to yall veteran drivers but for me and only the third time I ever sit in one I feel good bout it. At first I was over steering it and running of the course I guess that's a result of pulling my 18ft camper for so long. Once I realized that small movements of the wheel make big movements at the rear I socked it right in there all nice an straight.
Not really a question.

Pffff. Big deal. You parallel parked a truck. We do it all the time, kid. Now, when you can park it in a 10'5" parking garage, that will make you a professional trailer trucker.
