minus-squareMiles O'Brien@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·3 days ago Skilled truckers I have met truck drivers that can (and have demonstrated) back their trailer up to a cargo dock blindfolded. I’ve met some that can navigate turning radii (radiuses? Radiens?) smaller than my old Nissan. And then I’ve also met some that couldn’t figure out their 13ft tall trailer can’t fit under a 12ft 8 bridge… For the most part though, in my experience truck drivers are better drivers than 97% of regular drivers.
