[QUOTE="pickup, post: 1340360"] My back up plan is basic. When I approach a bay door or loading dock , I drive parallel to the building. When my rear axles pass the far edge of the bay door , I turn my tractor wheels to the right and wait until my tractor is in the 12 o'clock position , I then turn my wheels to the left and wait until my tractor is in the 11 or 10 o 'clock position, depending on how my trailer lined up. I am now in the ideal position to back up. I have my four ways on and honk the horn twice. As I back up, I follow up my backing by occasionally turning my wheels to the right and then back to the left. As I come in for my landing, my final adjustments are subtle and just the icing on the cake. Trailer backed in, open up the trailer door hub rats, I have brought you sustenance. [/QUOTE]
