[QUOTE="Northbaypkg, post: 3914448, member: 58387"] Like the others have said, I always back all the way to the dock. Leaving a foot between the truck and the dock would be begging to get an injury by either falling or lifting packages out of my power zone. And I always open the rear door from the inside when I'm doing pickups. I drive the old diesel P12 that has a roll up rear door anyway so no problem opening the door at docks. In the new trucks I have seen have the same kind of rear door, so backing all the way to a dock should not be an issue. Leaf springs, got it. Didn't know the proper terminology for those things. I'm still not sure why the took them away on the new cars. I will say that it makes it easier to get in between two back to back package cars from the outside though. [/QUOTE]
