Question:
Rule of thumb (even its your trainer) do not move your truck unless they are at your window or preferably in FRONT of your truck. If a guy tries to help you at the end of you trailer he is an idiot. Beware,,,,dont move until he figures out why you are not moving.

Answer:
They may be confused and believe they're supposed to witness you hitting something. And that's not too far off -- I've seen casual spotters back someone right into another truck, then walk away....
Good advice, although I tend to trust fellow drivers I can see in my mirror watching my rear blind side. If they move around to stay in my right mirror, they know what they're doing and I trust them -- but STILL may get out to look myself to see if we agree on what "clearance" really means.

Answer:
We had a rule in the Navy concerning moving aircraft. The moment the director and the driver of the tractor lost direct eye contact with each other, the entire move came to an immediate halt. It was a good rule then, and it still applies in other areas.As long as the paperwork's clean, you boys can do whatever you want to out on the road" Mad Max ...1979

Answer:

That's a good rule. You can't cause damage if your vehicle is stopped, and the little bit of extra time is nothing compared to actually running into something.
I use the same kind of rule turning sharp corners near hydrants and poles, etc. I stop if necessary and adjust the moto mirror -- but NEVER keep going if I can't see where the trailer is (or I'm not absolutely sure there's plenty of clearance.)
If that little voice goes off in your head saying, "I hope I'll clear...just a little bit more and I'm out of it.," STOP! Being sure is the only acceptable choice.

Answer:
Good advice and I'd like to add....be cautious when behind trailers
your self. I've seen two folks killed while in between trailers
parked back to back.
Answer:
As Rabelam said.
Behind or in between trailers is a very dangerous place to be.

Answer:
Driving is easy when you loose your fear of hitting things.
The person directing any movement of traffic is in charge and responsible unless someone plainly disregards his signal.***Patience is the hardest thing to learn..

Answer:

BULL----
The final responsibility for any vehicles movement is the driver and only the driver.
Any court in the country will be glad to educate you to that fact.

Answer:
Thats true enough. When you trust some one to guide your movement especially when backing you are puting that person in charge of when and where you move your truck. Even more so on a blind side back when you can't see where your trailer is going.
I don't walk between two truck/trailers parked back to back.

Answer:

This must be a trolling joke post.
A safe driver never loses their "fear" or respect for the danger of "hitting things". It's "easy" to speed, tailgate, or not getting out to look when you can't see your blind side. The opposite of "hard" isn't "easy" -- it's "SMART". Assuming you can blame damage on someone you've decided to let direct your vehicle is...well...dumb. It simply doesn't work that way.
The person directing movement of traffic is NOT in charge of your vehicle, and they're certainly not responsible for any damage you do. The responding officer to an accident, the prosecutor, the courts the insurance company -- everyone will hold YOU responsible for the control of your vehicle. You delegate that control at our own risk -- as with a spotter helping you back-up, which may be a good decision in some situations -- but the driver is ultimately responsible for any damage their vehicle causes.
The only possible exception may be some terminal employees regularly in-charge of directing your truck -- a mechanic flagging you into your terminal's service bay, etc. But these situations are few and far between, and if they screw-up, good luck getting them to admit it. The responsibility for your vehicle's movement defaults to YOU the driver. Shifting that responsibility will be fought at every level, and in the case of a crash on a public road, would probably require you to take our own civil action against the person you trusted to "direct" your vehicle. Good luck on that one.

Answer:
Actually, when you give another person the ability to direct your movement you have put them in charge of the movement of your vehicle. They point right and you turn right, etc.. Or when they point right you can just sit there picking your nose.
Sounds alot like truck stop lawyering at it's best.
Wait a minute there were a few exceptions,
Them and only them. No one else, not an employee of a business sent out to help, not a cop or rescue worker, absolutely no one else. Only those two possible exceptions. Just remember that cause the Shuffling one said so.
These forum lawyers crack me up.
You will most likely find that most companies and some schools will tell you not to wave vehicles on to go around you, in front of you or in any direction. They will tell that you can share the liabilty if they hit some thing. True or not I'm not sure. I do know safety depts will stress it at times. If they see a liability then it would be safe to assume it's possible. People are sued everyday for the silliest things. Assuming there is no liability for guiding a truck back would be real stupid.
We'll leave it up to the truck stop forum lawyers to tell you positively how it is.

Answer:
No truckstop lawyering there Stuffs.
You're under the wheel, YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE!!
Don't care if it's a cop, company member or your favorite cabknocker directing you, it's still up to you to make sure you don't hit something.

Answer:
That is correct.
if your behind the wheel and you hit something.
"You will be charged with an accident"
Not the person directing you.
I wish I had a dollar for everytime I heard a driver say.
'BUT....He told me to"

Answer:
You would probably owe them money. I've never heard anyone say that.
Wuzzy you and the other legal members are going to have to get it together.
Either
A.You're under the wheel, YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE!!
or
B."The only possible exception may be some terminal employees regularly in-charge of directing your truck -- a mechanic flagging you into your terminal's service bay, etc."
Either there are exceptions or there are not.

Answer:
Well Stuffs, since you had trouble reading it the first two times, for the third time....
You're under the wheel, it's your fault.
If that makes me a truckstop lawyer, kindly dig into your lawwbooks and give us the benefit of your legal training by quoting the law that states otherwise.
