    no, the douche was the guy that was already parked......he could have dropped out, and the other dude would have had no problem putting it in the hole. The guy trying to back in already had help, but the help he needed was more space.

    You're right, but the guy filming could get out and help.
    One warning, I tried to help a guy back in. Finally he was lined up and all he had to do was follow it. Instead, he cranked it, and before I could get him to stop, he backed into the truck, then he pulled out of there, jackknifing into the guy a second time. Left me standing there, to explain why he now had a beat up truck!

    Since there appears to be no tractor in the spot to the right, the driver should have gone in at a steeper angel, to get the rear of his trailer deeper in the alley before getting the tractor back in front of his trailer. I will also say, it appears that there is only one other tractor under a trailer in that row of doors besides the KW. I'm wondering if it was policy to dock and drop. That guy might have been being a jerk. But, I wasn't there. I would make darn sure there is room to open my door after getting inline before I would attempt backing in with my door closed. Little is as frustrating as ditty boppin' back there to find you're three or four inches short of being able to open your door.
