    I wouldn't try it with a triple even if the ship was empty, Brian. I'd do it with a double train though.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Fairly certain truck drivers ARE members of the public

    Damn, that's what I call reverse parking. It reminded me of a clip I saw a while ago with a similar skill level.

    It's also an neat way to check your trailer lights.

    That's nothing, you should see me trying to get my Trak Shak into the backyard behind my Disco.

    That's a great effort. He only had to correct a couple of times.
    I've become quite nifty at backing the camper into the single door garage, but its nothing compared with that effort.

    Have never driven a b double - but would love to have a crack.

    I once saw a b double back up a very narrow track at a vineyard at Mundalla - similar skill level to the clip.

    The worst to reverse that I've seen was a desert kitchen on the back of a coach.
