    That doesn't look difficult.

    In fact, that is easy compared to some of the docks I've got to bump.

    Cakewalk. I've had to hit docks that involved backing down an alley, and offsetting to the blindside to avoid the telephone pole, while still maneuvering the tractor around a fire hydrant. Oh yeah, there's a fence, and a new car lot, too. It was a Rheem/Rhude dealer in Chicago that I delivered to twice back when I was with Arrow Trucking...

    You should see the Heinz in Ft. Myers, you have to almost be a stunt driver, you have to back into the plant through the guard gate and continue backing into a dock, lol

    If he thinks that straight line back is a POS... Then I'd love to watch him back into the Ryerson building on 16th street in Chicago.

    I think it is.... Turn a hard right & head straight towards the building directly in front of that other tractor. Right before the building turn hard left & you should be able to get it close to a straight line back

    Um...if you had a hard time with this, I guess backing in a parking spot at a over crowded truck stop at night is outta the question?

    Or come in up close to the trailers opposite the dock, when you're about equal with the corner of the building turn right (about 220*) and come back around towards the power pole, then back it in.

    How much you want to bet that he turned right, pulled along side of the building (with the building on his right) & tried to blind side it?
