    When you’re a brand new CDL holder, and you park in a nearly empty truckstop always park directly right next to the one of the few other trucks in the entire parking lot, this way when you forget you’re driving a giant semi truck, taking off the trucks front end next to you, will quickly remind you.

    When you are telling a story it is important to stress one of the following: NO BS, This ain’t no lie or you ain’t gonna believe this.

    otherwise it will be considered BS and lies and we won’t believe it.

    When making a turn, if there's an illegally parked car, you're allowed to run it over.

    All right hand turns must be button hooked. See "How to make a right turn" thread. Also "How to make a left turn" thread.

    All legal and medical advice found on TTR is Gospel.

    And it should be perfectly legal to put them into the ditch/wall.

    And make sure you nose in instead of backing in, that way the rear of your trailer will obstruct the other driver's view of the aisle and they can play a fun guessing game of "is a truck coming from that side?" when he/she is ready to pull out.
