Its horrible enough that its right off the street. Then the fact that theres no room for a pull up because of vehicles parked on the road. THEN hes fucking doing it using the side where you cant see where the fuck your trailer is going. He’s literally just sitting in the truck guessing where its going. Fuck that!

The respect's ironic really, because truckers who risk their tractors to do this encourage dispatchers to disrespect our efforts and demean our skills. Go figure; the companies do know how to exploit their slaves.
