Years ago I went to a local freight yard to pick up the entire rear suspension of a 993. It was the Porsche factory presentation piece for the War Bonnet Tech. I still have some of the 993 suspension parts in my garage. As i was standing in the dock area I watched a trucker drive slowly past a single open trailer spot with an 18 wheeler already parked on each side. He pulled far enough foreword, and backed up perfectly centered on the first try. It was cool to watch a real pro at work. I bet there was maybe a foot on each side and he was perfectly lined up.
Then the fork lift operator picked up my crate and hauled ass down the dock to the borrowed pickup I was using. He hardly slowed down as he turned and put it in the bed of the truck. I walked down there expecting to see the bed of the pickup banged up. That crate was placed perfectly. Cool. Another competent pro.
