[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1272705, member: 42691"] I consider it a required job skill. I don't think it's a 'hero" back when you can do it. I work in large yards, where it takes time to find your loads, verify %'s and hook up. Our dolly piles can be a ways away from your hook-up spot. Generally speaking, our dollies are spotted already. Sometimes, though, they aren't. It sounds like you guys are spun real, real tight. We just don't get bent out of shape when we get held up in the places I work. It's unavoidable. Yeah, we give drivers a hard time too, but usually just before we walk over and help out a guy struggling with it. Sometimes a few words can get someone over the hump. It sounds like real stupid, but a senior guy told me that as soon as you think that dolly is starting to turn, start moving the wheel to correct it. I got frustrated when he told me, because it didn't make sense to me, and I was struggling real bad. But when I started snapping them, that's how I did it. That same guy told me that there will be a time when you do it by feel, and won't even think about it. Back then, I wasn't so sure. But he was right. [/QUOTE]
