<p>[QUOTE="VIDEODROME, post: 516324, member: 8100"]I've had this happen where someone or a few people come over and are waving me in and telling me I've got lots of room and go ahead and backup. I do think this is well intentioned but this makes me concerned because I don't know who they are or what their experience is with trucks. This seems potentially dangerous. Just wondered what others thoughts are. </p><p><br /></p><p>What made me think of posting this here was someone was trying to direct me into a dock at Sam's Club in Villa Rica, GA. I tried to be nice and was disagreeing with her because I thought my trailer door was to close to another trucks mirror. She said it was fine while pushing the trailer door away from the mirror. It might have been okay but there was some potholes and if the trailer rocked enough it might still be to close. I decided it wasn't worth it and just pulled up to try again and when I did that she left. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also she did ask if I wanted to let her drive my truck into the dock and I thought that was a really bad idea and said I had to do it because it was my responsibility.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
