[QUOTE="YourAverageCluelessSup, post: 3187440, member: 66446"] I'll be blunt. When non seasonal guys are reaching the end of their 30 days, are definitely going to make book and land a ft job, and are generally decent dudes with a good head on their shoulders, I give them the reality of what my center expects when it comes to tucking in the mirrors. If you have one of the stupid old trucks with the mirrors mounted on the hood (when adequately tucking in the driver side mirror means pushing them to the right against the windshield), I only expect you to tuck them when parked on the side of a busy highway or any area where you get lots of traffic or primarily larger vehicles. They are absolutely a hindrance and we have had a driver throw his shoulder out adjusting one. In the real world, in residential areas it's highly unlikely youre going to get an 18 wheeler barreling down the road inches from your package car, let alone vehicles who are actually tall enough to physically hit your mirrors. You can easily get away with not tucking mirrors at these types of stops as long as youre cool with running the risk of a 'by the book' sup seeing you do so and reprimanding you for it. Just use common sense when it comes to tucking the mirror. And if sticking your arm out is a concern (which I do believe is a legitimate concern), either tuck it just enough where you can lean over your steering wheel and see traffic in the bottom mirror, or fully tuck it, wait outside your car until theres a break in traffic, and then quickly/safely get in and unfold your mirror first thing. All that said, every sup has a different standard when it comes to this stuff. [/QUOTE]
