We were having a 'show' for visiting managers from America.
Our usual trailers were flatbeds, but we hired-in some box-trailers (they looked bigger and better). We also hired-in a couple of extra drivers (so that we could have all the assembled vehicles available to run).
Our parking area had been extended (the facility was relatively new) and edged with shallow concrete strips (2" wide, not 'proper' kerbs.
I wanted one of the 'rigs' parking 'over there against the kerb' (with the kerb on the blind side). I delegated one of the agency drivers to park it. He jumped in and quickly (and smoothly) backed the trailer so that the kerb was close to the wheels and the tailgate was directly above the rear kerb - all in one go, tractor straight too.
We kept him on full-time and he made a superb test driver.
