Lots of beeping, lots of honking. The only way to stand out is to visually sweep the area and only back when safe. Besides you guys have back up cameras to help. It's not like there's 53' of box behind you.

I have caught myself flipping on the flashers when backing in a car.

Do you find yourself tapping the horn when you back your personal car?
No. I did at work the other day because there were a couple of the guys out front and I wanted to see what they would say.
Do you back into your driveway?
Yes. I back in to every parking space, working or not. Drives my kids crazy.

I don't beep in my own car, but I always "back first"!

Do you slide the tandems before backing?

I'm not a driver, but this seems a good a place as any to interject a random, meandering thought-path of mine.
Since I started working at UPS, and have been exposed to some of the habits that drivers are taught, I now back into every parking spot. I'm the first at work in the morning, and I always park in the same spot because when I leave the parking lot is full, and I still have a full view of who is coming from all 4 directions.
I also have a new respect for guys driving large trucks on the highway - I never ride their @ss.
I always make eye contact when I have to move in front of a vehicle.
And other random things.
I'm probably a little safer for it.

Nope. Do it all by eye and experience.

Do you ever pull air cans in a roller trailer?
How do you feel about coworkers that pencil whip a post-trip and leave you with either a flat inner tire or a burnt out light?
How many times do you find yourself replacing grommets on air lines because someone else was too lazy to replace?
Cha ching, easy OT at the shop!

Honk if you're horny.
You've obviously bypassed a thread.
Thats why I do it evry five seconds.

As Ovah said, trip to the shop. There's guys that think they're sly on skating out on their duties but when enough equipment problems get backtracked back to them it bites them in the butt.
