Backing Practice™ 09

"After hours" arrival means you'll be waiting till tomorrow when they open - 6-10 hours' break.

Maybe turn around in the Dinner Bell parking lot.

Personally I try to avoid driving in places that don't often get a big truck. It can be done, but it sure draws unwelcome attention in my book!

The Dinner Bell is a popular mom and pop restaurant with the locals. Right next door to it under the red roof is a beauty salon where the little old ladies go to get their hair done. The main large building on the other side is an indian owned gas station where the locals go to get their beer and cigarettes.

The only painted parking spaces are right in front of the buildings. Other than that, there is no ryme or reason to how the cars are parked when things get busy at various points throughout the day.

Using the Dinner Bell lot as a turn around would not be a gurantee but you could potentially get lucky.

This Backing Practice™ was suggested by Anchorman, si he shuttle have the best solution. But he hasn't come out of the Dinner Bell restaurant yet.

Here's a street view of the driveway:

Whichever direction you come, you'll need to stop all traffic, put your truck in the center of the street, giving yourself about 20' to back the tandems to the drive, and be very careful.

All the newbies wanting Dollar General runs should see this.
