      Its horrible enough that its right off the street. Then the fact that theres no room for a pull up because of vehicles parked on the road. THEN hes fucking doing it using the side where you cant see where the fuck your trailer is going. He’s literally just sitting in the truck guessing where its going. Fuck that!

      C. Galvan78 it’s what I immediately saw And it’s why he didn’t have enough space to swing the cab around up front. Not knocking the man tho on it while having eyes all around guiding him. I’ll tell you of a tight spot and it’s where I got my experience doing my blind side backing there would pick up there three times a month in Harrison NJ at the bread 🍞 plant . Now that is a tight spot way way more narrow than this st and obstacles in the way as well if drivers on here know where I’m talking about say I’m lien yeah that’s a hellava backing.

    I know these team drivers in 1993. Some European drivers. They had this big long Pete. When they pulled up to the warehouse the passenger would open the back door and walk in to check in. The other guy would blind side into any door available. Place used to have columns like that to no room in front and other trucks crowded around. Usually one shot. All I used to hear is him adjusting his motor mirrors. True professionals. No spotter needed. It was very impressive

      There is a way to back up successfully without using any spotters It’s called “get out and look” and it will take much longer to get it in. But you’re a great back-er if you back it in without hitting anything.

      REALLY 5 minute delay caused by trucker backing his rig, if Yu not 15 min early to work then Yu are late dude & it's for situations like this or traffic, construction, accident, ect. that it's best to be 15 min early but yea if anyone was late few minutes well they cutting it very close, JUS BE GLAD IT WAS A PRO & WASN'T A NEW DRIVER, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A 30MIN-1HR DELAY EASILY IF DRIVER DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING, (OR SWIFT DRIVER😂🤣) JK I got respect for all truck drivers they make our lives easier by keeping stores stocked up & making sure Chevron, Arco,Shell, Exxon are full of fuel for everyone that DNT have a Tesla or Prius.👍👍

    You have in extreme cases to take a street THE WRONG WAY for a street block, but then, you won't need to back in blind sided.
    No need for 2-3 helpers, but you have to be there 5am sharp, before traffic !
    Then... BACKUP ! ONE SHOT !
