Get Out And Look! Before you get into a spot you can't get out of put your four ways on, don't block traffic, then take a walk. If you take your time, watch your mirrors, and slide your trailer tandems if need be it's amazing how tight a spot you can get out of. Be sure and practice your backing techniques because you'll need them also. If you're at the shipper or consignee don't be afraid to get someone to spot for you. Most of all remember you are not the first driver that has ever been where you are and most of us have survived to drive another day.

Just do it(with common sense) by: Snap shot
I've been in the industry as a driver as well as an owner operator for 28 yrs. Bottom line? when the going gets tough the tough ones get going!
Don't get me wrong, use common sense. Also, fear is your worst enemy. Get going with confidence.
