    Ya, or when you have to get blindside 130° to within 6 feet of the door. I mean that's easy right? Right?

    What Volvo was that? Mine was about two feet longer than a Freightliner.

    The 680 I believe it was far easier than my freight shacker and shorter which helped other drivers out whe swinging around also.

    My ftl was easier than my t680.
    680 takes a country mile with the axle/ bump stop setup.
    But I get it done.
    Went back to dollar tree for the time being.
    Needed to be closer to home.
    Did a 90 into the dock with the equipment.
    Couple of guys just looked at me.
    Ha ha ha ha.....
