[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 166507, member: 1957"] DS- I have a question about number 4 and 6. Number 4-feeders are taught to gear down. I think the logic is because, with all that weight, your brakes may heat up and fade. I suppose a heavily loaded pkg car could experience brake fade also. Number 6-when I took feeder school we were told to avoid blindside backing at all costs. There is a frequent management poster that seems to pride himself in his parallel parking of a feeder which would involve severe blindslide backing. He has yet to answer the question of "why would anyone parallel park a feeder?" I am assuming the door on his trailers are on the back, so why would one parallel park? I would welcome constructive answers. The "mightier than thou" folks don't need to respond. [/QUOTE]
