    With the cab window, when you back to the blind side, you have a perfect view of the trailer and the trailer next to you. I would pick a blind side back any day of the week with a day cab.

    I once had a frito-lay step van parked a trailer length out from the dock in the lane next to where I needed to back. No way was I going to back from the left. I backed from the right side and rolled that trailer in tight next to the step van. Otherwise I would have had to go look for the frito-lay guy somewhere in the chips aisle.
