Visualize this. Seen yesterday evening.
Long nose with double sleeper. 53 footer with fixed spread axles. Rear axle kissing the ICC bar. Fifth wheel stretched all the way back.
I went to Walmart, turned into a row to park, and I see this thing at the end of the row all jacked up between parked cars, poles, signs, trees, and curbing.
The curbing is layed out so tight that a pickup truck has to swing wide making a turn and still hop the curb ½ the times.
So this dumb as a fluck moron has got himself in this mess cuz tractor trailer school never taught him to never pull into a jammed packed parking area. He does the drill.
Jumps out.
Walks to back of truck.
Jumps back in.
Turns the steering wheel the wrong way.
Lets out the clutch and the tractor bucks like a bronco for 3 feet.
Sets brakes. Jump out. Continually repeats above.
Urge in me says to walk down there, slap him upside the head, hop in and get him out of there. Nah. Watching is better. Especially with the crowd now gathering around him telling him to do this, no, do that, no, the other way, a little bit more, whoa, whoa, whoa, too much, go forward, go back...
The real evil ******* in me wants to see a total disaster. I was not disappointed. He took out a sign, a pole, and a carriage return rack.
It was a good day.
