WHERE YOU SEE THE RED PIN..I HAD TO BACK UP TO THE RAMP AT THE END OF THE LOT FAR LEFT OH AND DON’T MIND THE SHEETS ACROSS FROM THERE DURING HOUR..THOSE PPL WON’T GET IN YOUR WAY DURING THAT ATROCIOUS MANEUVER YOU’RE GETTING READY TO DO

I’m trying to see how this is difficult. Can you explain a lil more? Without caps lock on?
Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)
You should look this up on maps and you’ll see the degree of difficulty
YourDopeDasher@reddit
I get it. You’re new to trucking and chronically online. There are a lot of ways to get that done tho. Far from a hard back. Definitely not worth a post.
Id suggest once you get your year in, leave swift, and to your prior post, avoid food service deliveries.

How long you been in?
YourDopeDasher@reddit
5 ish years. Been thru enough shit docks in plenty of cities, never crossed my mind to whine on reddit about it, let alone post in this reddit almost daily.
Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)
I’m a sociable person..What’s it to you that I make posts daily? I’m sure you have personal issues you don’t post online and that’s your business but I like talking to fellow truckers..if you want to be a loner and be miserable that’s fine..but you don’t gotta talk shit

Just find posting complaints about having to do your job weird. If you plan on sticking in this industry, thats about as easy as it gets. Especially if you’re OTR.
Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)
Walmart distribution centers are easy..not that in the picture lol
YourDopeDasher@reddit
Again. If you plan on staying in this industry, get used to shit like this and WAY worse. Your job is to drive and back a tractor trailer. Not all of them are going to be straight backs like walmart.
Crying about a “difficult” back on reddit isn’t going to help.
Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)
I only posted this because I made a previous post and this came to mind..that’s the only reason..and I didn’t call because I was still new at the time..I didn’t know any better..bruh you sound like a miserable twat that has so much to say to someone but prob won’t say anything in person..I don’t why you got all this energy..weird
Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)
And I’ve done way easier ones than that..again if I knew where I was going entering the lot..it probably wouldn’t have been so bad..you know what..I don’t even complain about my backings on here to correct you actually..I post about ppl staying at fuel islands and funny posts..you can’t find not one post in here where I complained about a backing I did at a job..get your facts straight
YourDopeDasher@reddit
Except this post apparently. Maybe call ahead and ask before going in blind.
Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)
If you’re not new it’s not hard probably..but new? It’s not worth it imo and everything is post worthy..don’t silence the ppl! Lol

Caps are on so ppl don’t miss the under caption
amazingmaple@reddit
This new generation of drivers just wants to drive straight. Never want to try and challenge themselves. Or even practice. This is not hard at all.
YourDopeDasher@reddit
No kidding. Im in the “new gen” and never thought to go whine on reddit after a difficult dock. Shits part of the job. Get in, get out, and get going.
Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)
Turning right inside the lot and having to back to your left
Radiant_Swan187@reddit
Doesn't get much easier than that really
Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)
Tell what you’re doing and where going
theboywthagreenscarf@reddit
Pull into the sheets and make it a straight back
Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)
Yeah that would’ve been ideal if I didn’t pass that turn because I didn’t know where to back until he told me..see that’s the thing..if I knew where I was going headed there it would’ve have been that bad but I pulled and parked to the left..then had to do other shit to get straightened out to back..it sucked lol
Top-Confidence4496@reddit
Naw I get it that does look tricky. But you got it done.
I think Swift has a way to complain about facilities after the fact I think it might be called voice your choice
Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)
Yeah..it got done like the rest of my backings but they def hear about it..we don’t get paid to do these local ass backings and that’s what megas be trying to do
