[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 4274727, member: 8481"] And the difference there is that you're not moving. You guys have no idea if someone is driving, sitting still, or backing. Sometimes hard to hear a horn if you come behind a 53 foot trailer, and you definitely cannot see the tractors reverse lights. You guys just follow a 53 foot trailer with 4 ways all over the yard. At any point, he could stop and backup. You have clue, especially since there are horns blowing all over the yard with other people backing, and hard to tell if it's from the tractor 100 foot in front of you with a 53 foot trailer between him and you. If we came up to a 53 foot trailer with 4 ways on, we don't get behind him because he is probably backing. If he is just sitting there pre-tripping, well, no harm no foul and we won't be stuck behind a trailer sitting still. Better safe than sorry. That's the idea. You have no clue what he is doing. Here, we know what they are doing. Not a good idea to come up behind them because they are either backing, or sitting still pre-tripping. Either way, you don't want to be behind them. Just my opinion, anyway. [/QUOTE]
