Pull-Ups

Funny, some days, I can drop one in at a shipper/recvr with no room in front, with minimal space on either side, no pull-ups... then sometimes I get to a truckstop where there's 6 open spaces, I'm shooting for the middle, and it takes me 4 tries.

It is what it is, and if someone wants to laugh, I'm sure I can find something to laugh back at them about.

 

Sorry ,,,, couldn't resist it

A pull up is after you start backing in towards a dock, then stop, pull "forward" to realign your trailer to the dock.

 

What he said.

He's right. I have seen this happen. Once in Wyoming and once in Arkansas.

This is the truth of the world. You can't let 'em ruin your day. Then they win.

 

If others glare and think you're an idiot, does it make you one?

 

If you don't like the fact I pulled up a few times there is a number on the side of my trailer.. do call it and let them know I was beeing to safe for ya...

 

It's amazing how that works. I hit the same two docks every day now for 4 years, I don't pay any attention to how I set up and I have no problem dropping a 53 right in there, Until some one changes some thing! Move that truck that always on my blind side and I loosen things up and will take 3 trys to get into a bigger space. Good thing it's dark and no one's around

 

While I was reading this I was setup to back into the only dock this receiver has open. A pallet trailer on either side of the open hole. Popped it right in.. I pulled just because I could. Hahaha. Nobody else was waiting ... (or watching)

Now the shipping side of this place will be wide open and I will pull up because I have too.. least I now know I am not alone

 

This was totally not what i thought this thread was about.........THANK GOD.

 

Ouch! That hurt my feelers... :smt073

 

How did I hurt your 'feelers'? Most flatbedders I know laugh at those of us that do/did drag dry box or reefer because we have to be so precise with our backing.
