Stevens Transport Aviary . . cont'

Melissa's is always fun, and that place by the LAX rental car return, I forget the name of that place.

 

Global Trading. They have a place in Yuma as well I think, that one has tons of room. Melissas and GT, two more places I never want to go again.

 

A trick for backing into a dark dock is to place a flashlight on the ground pointing out and on the line. Gives you something to aim for. Especially good for those dark docks with bright sunny skies.

 

and try to avoid running over your own flashlight should be added

 

well if you put it up against the dock, you'll be explaining a bumper problem before you can run over the light!

 

Or, if you want to hold the steering wheel normally, as you look it the mirror, turn the wheel toward trouble. That's what worked for me.

 

Has any one going to Stevens Training School in Colorado?

 

Honestly, its the overthinking for me. I start out just fine, then see the trailer move wrong in the mirror, then spend the next many seconds trying to convert the direction the trailer is moving in the mirror to the direction of the tractor, to the direction the tires are pointing to the direction the steering wheel is currently at and the direction I need to turn and is it opposite of what I see in the mirror because mirrors are backwards, dang why didnt I pay more attention in Geometry and crap I turned it the wrong way and now the instructor has thrown his hat to the ground in disgust.

Simple enough...turn the tires the direction you want the trailer to go. Once I stop thinking, it'll be groovy

 

ah emul didnt realise you meant put it at the base of the dock
