    Why does that sound like something one may not want to know about.

    Speak for yourself.

    I have some very good friends who work at the fuel desk that don’t know my name or whom I drive for. We’re super close though.

    Well he finally managed to get backed out, without hitting anything. But he had literally less than 1 inch between the rear corner of his trailer and the hood of a really nice Pete, maybe 2 inches between his hood and the corner of the guy parked on the other side of him, and he had it Jack-knifed tight enough that his fairing was flexing almost to the point of breaking.

    The whole process took many attempts over about 20 minutes.

    Edit: I was about ready to go suggest that he slide his tandem all the way forward so hus trailer would corner faster... But then he got out.

    Locally we call them tall boys.
    Just taller than a normal can.
    Can also be bought is super large cans, but usually just get the tall boys.
