Appreciation post: A driver in Boise told me my dock was a nightmare to back into.

He said the angle was too sharp and the markings were faded, so I repainted the lines and added a convex mirror. Anyone else had to fix a dock layout after getting that kind of feedback?

Skylerrobinson's story is a good one, but sometimes a driver just had a bad day.

Honestly, you're smart to listen. Most places just blame the driver. But faded lines and a bad angle are a lawsuit waiting to happen. Imagine a new guy clips a fuel line or takes out a light pole. That's a way bigger bill than a can of paint and a mirror.

Remember the time a driver told us our yard was too tight for a 53 footer? We argued it was fine for years. Then a new guy proved us wrong by taking out a section of chain link fence trying to turn around. Cost us way more in repairs and embarrassment than just moving a storage container would have. Sometimes you gotta hear the same complaint a few times before it clicks.
