For those who say flatbedders don't back into tight spots.

Was that a mega carrier position? Look's cool.

I drive for Prime.

That is a lumber shipper.

Some of the places that ship coils have similar chutes that we back into.

Shipper:

The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.

HOS:

Hours Of Service

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

I drag a spread axle stepdeck or flatbed through cemetaries. Gets a little tight sometimes, or most of the time. Tight spots don’t have to have walls!!

Stepdeck:

A stepdeck , also referred to as "dropdeck", is a type of flatbed trailer that has one built in step to the deck to provide the capabilities of loading higher dimensional freight on the lower deck.

Sometimes there are walls, though. And poles! And curbs!

This was the tighest spot I've been to yet that wasn't backing off a street into an alley. Took me more than 20 minutes and 15+ GOALs.
