A yard dog is a guy who moves trailers around a parking lot?
Yeah, it might be easier in the US. In europe a lot of the cities still have medieval street plans based on the layour layout of fields from a thousand years ago. I have no idea how the bigger trucks get around them.
Yeah. It helps them learn because they are backing up most of the day.
We have our share of that in the US. Along with a lot of warehouses that were designed when 40 ft trailers were the standard even though most pull 53 ft now.
Oh really? I thought most US cities were done on a gridiron layout. Well hey, respect then. It sounds nerve wracking but maybe you just get used to it.
Actually I misread that. What do you mean by layour of fields?
Typo, should've been "layout". As in a street might suddenly turn 60 degrees because the peasants clearing the land decided they'd done enough for the day. Then the next time they cleared a field they were lining up with something else. Or a main traffic route might have a 12ft bridge blocking it from trucks because originally it was only used for horse traffic.
Oh, okay. Yeah that's probably more nerve wracking than most places here. Over here the mountains can be tight and in a lot the big cities the intersections weren't designed for big trucks so turns can be anywhere from tight to impossible.
Oh and New York decided they needed to be different from everyone else. They'll post bridge heights that are measured from the curb supposedly to account for snow. So you'll be pulling a 13' 6" trailer and panic when you see a bridge posted 13' 0" even though you can actually clear it.
Just curious, what are the weight/height/log/etc. like over there.
