45 Degree Backing Vs 90 Degree

No, not serious. I've only gotten to just pull in a gate and drop it for a yard dog maybe a dozen times. These were at UPS, some port facility in CA, a couple railroad yards, and some others I can't recall the details for.
We park them in an empty spot at the WM DC in Cheyenne, and these can be a challenge some days. Not much room when the trailers on either side of your hole are on the yellow lines. Don't be That Guy!
I drop and Hook there sometimes. It can definitely be one of the tighter Wally world DCs at times.
Drop And Hook:
Drop and hook means the driver will drop one trailer and hook to another one.
In order to speed up the pickup and delivery process a driver may be instructed to drop their empty trailer and hook to one that is already loaded, or drop their loaded trailer and hook to one that is already empty. That way the driver will not have to wait for a trailer to be loaded or unloaded.

Shoot, I wouldn't even put the Cheyenne DC in any Top 20 List for difficulty. Wait until you've been to a few others that are much worse.

Theres one in Alabama, I forget the town for the life of me, that is super tight. I couldnt fit in to get the handle down. Target DC like that down in Savanah GA too.

I once hadca sort of tough back in Chattanooga. Finally got in the hole, no trailers on either side. Just small space to set it up. Well I backed into the wrong door. I pleaded my case nope. Luckily I just did multiple pulls ups then straight back.
