    I laughed at the driver whom was grabbing gears and hit the bollard. Clearly they had no interest in doing anything more than getting out of there. Yet the one thing I did learn when I was out on the road. If it took work to get into a parking lot, it will take work to get out of it too! Yeah looking in the mirrors would have helped. Chasing the trailer and pushing it back further to get it further from the wall would have helped too. Then maybe one more pull forward and backup to get the trailer to the far side. After all, they did have the whole area for them to move around in with the other driver patiently waiting.

    You know - it's hard for me to judge, I took the front end off a Werner truck in my first year - Flying J in Indy. Ironic, huh?

    But it's funny watching the videos . . .
