Wow... that's Cool !

Have you ever had to reverse in a very tight challenging situation, in order to maneuver up to a Loading dock... and got stuck?

Thankfully I haven't gotten stuck. I did once have to pull forward and wiggle into one spot where my trailer looked like it was going to hit something. Another one the spot was pretty tight so we had to pull in our mirrors so we didn't hit the truck next to us.

I'm not a Truck driver, but once for work I had to back a 18 ft Trailor around the corner of a building in a tight crowded parking Lot. I couldn't see the back of the Trailor as it passed by the building corner. Ugh... it was BRUTAL (LoL) Worst part is, ya can't just give up. Not like I could call my Boss 3 States away and say- I can't get it in. I got it tho!

That is a victory! Backing is so challenging. Even for people who've been in the industry there's times I've seen them struggle. Don't you just find it so rewarding once you're done? I've only been in the industry for 6mons so I still take every small win lol
