I'm so happy!

So, I am delivering to a Sysco in Cincinnati this morning, got here last night and parked outside the gate. I managed to get into the facility to find the office last night and got a look at the layout. It's a bit of a mess, meant for the short 28ft (or whatever) trailers. Well, this morning I roll in with my 53ft reefer behind my sleeper truck. I park out in the middle of the lot next to a bunch of daycabs and a few other trucks with 53ft trailers to check in and wait for a dock number. Door 14, directly behind me and 3 or so doors over. Now, I could pull forward and right and do a loop around the middle to set up a straight line back, or maybe Crete will go ahead and park in the exact spot to block that... Oh well, maybe I'll just back it from here! Well, I was parked in the blue area facing south, the red are other trucks, and the yellow is my dock. Nailed in 30 seconds! I am by no means a perfect backer, but damn this made me happy! Anyone else have those random moments that should have taken you far longer, but you somehow just did it first-shot?
