    Why oh why is it that I can dock like a dream except when I must do it in front of line of 15 other trucks at a new distribution center?

    Man! I'm so disgusted right now. I swear I thought I was NEVER going to get that trailer in the dock. :biggrin_25510: And there they all sat watching(except for the ones that got out of their trucks and stood staring). ARRRGGGHHHH

    Texas-Nana it happens to everyone. If they say otherwise they are lying. Some days I can dock in a tight space easily and other days I can't back no matter how much room I have. Of course it could be that your a Swiftie. :biggrin_25522::biggrin_25522:

    We all warned you about this...some days you got it, some days you don't!

    Maybe you're still very self conscious and doubt how good you have become...believe in yourself...and the truck will follow!

    I remember the time when i went to Waco Tx. to pick up a load of candy bars at the M & M warehouse, not a trailer in the dock, pretty easy right==not, took me 15 to 20 mins. to back in. Any other time about 5 mins. on a good day.:biggrin_25514:

    Your ability is directly and inversely related to the number of folks who are watching you do it. And it is even worse if they happen to have a video cam running!:biggrin_2559:

    BTDT and had the red face to go with it. Don't feel alone Nana.:biggrin_25525:

    Same reason I always get nervous when working an accident scene, I've done it thousands of times, but with DOT and the local donut chasers on scene, it messes up my vibes!
