1. Nope. Couldn’t do that. I’m lucky to keep my front fender from rearending my own car ;o)

2. I’d love to see Joe Biden try it.

3. I had to back A trains and B trains into wash bays every day for years. It becomes second nature after a while.

   1. Never drove trains but 53 footers yep.

      1. It’s the short container chassis that are a challenge, the long trailers respond slower.

4. I couldn’t do that with a car and this guy does it with a huge trailer. Damn

5. Likewise, in Chinatown watching people fail at parallel parking their Camry is a thing.

6. I used to work for one of the big breweries in the warehouse. One day a US trucker came in to pick up a load going to the US. He complained to the shipping foreman that he couldn’t park at the door he was directed to because he couldn’t get around the guard/sprinkler system inlet piping. It was the door right beside the shipping office next to the exterior wall. While he was still cussing, a female driver came in and asked for her truck to get loaded and the bills. Shipping foreman asks “which door are you in” . Reply “The one beside your office”. The other guy shut up and left.

7. What kills me is the number of cars driving around to get past him.

8. The guy is good, no doubt about it, but…try backing a trailer down an iced over snake driveway to a lakefront cottage someday.
   I can’t do it, but I worked for a guy who was a god when it came to that.
   Myself, I can jackknife a trailer just by putting the truck into reverse.
