    I would easily do left side parking, but right side would take me quite a bit

    Is that Kroger in Salem, va?

    Been there done that one several times. If there's a bunch of trucks waiting it can be a little tight.

    Yeah that ones not much fun. If you're delivering live they require you to wait 30 minutes after you get the green before you can go in and get your paperwork. Usually 2-3hrs wasted there

    Definitely looks tight if the lot is full and the trucks on the opposite side aren't backed all the way up. At night too, heh.

    Better to take 10 minutes backing in with no problems than to take 2 minutes being Super Trucker and tearing off someone's front bumper. ;)
