You guys will have to excuse me I pull a flatbed. What exactly are these things you guys call..."loading docks"? And what is...Backing"? You mean to tell me there are places you guys have to back in all by yourself? Without help? Next you guys are going to try to tell me you do it at night, bunch of liars, We flatbedders all know eveybody closes at 5 oclock.

Tell your PM, DM, BM, or whatever you call them that you want a load from here. Langer Juice 16195 Stephens St City Of Industry, CA If you get a trailer in that dock without hitting something you can back. I found a real simple way to get a trailer in that dock.......Give Pedro with the little day cab 10 bucks LOL I have only been there twice and seen more damage to trucks and trailers than I seen in 20 years of being a Distribution Mgr. We use to load between 50-75 Live Loads a day.

I also write everything down, and also, you tend to remember the places that suck to back into, and the ones where the workers are a bunch of azzholes. lol

Yes Kevin you should be able to be better at Backing then, i've said it before and i say it again, You Probably have tight backs once or twice a week or maybe more than that.. More Expereince you have at it, the better you'll be at it than a driver who doesn't encounter it often...
And Kevin, we have BACKHAULS where we go to where we have to put Trailers in a Dock just like other Big Trucks Do!! Like i'm sorry if your under the impression that i just go to Wal-Marts and that's it but naw bud that aint the case... |
