That's easy to say if you are used to backing into a boat ramp, or anything where you can pull forward, and then back straight up. If you have to back a 53 ft trailer into a 10 foot bay, with a 53 footer on each side, and a row of trailers 48 feet in front, how do you get it in?


Been dealing with truck drivers 30+ years


You can tell a truck driver his wife is ugly and he will laugh at you, but don't tell him he can't back his trailer unless you are ready to fight.
