Judging exactly where the back of your trailer is in relation to a dockside or loading bay is not always the easiest thing to do, and trailers can easily get damaged in the process.

Having pulled forward and then found reverse. I set off towards a wall — which was made of polystyrene and painted concrete grey. As I head towards the wall, the brakes come on, stopping the vehicle in its tracks. It then releases the brakes, allowing me to do the final bit of manoeuvring myself. It's quite a strange sensation driving a truck that stops itself, but somehow reassuring at the same time.
