There is only one name that comes to mind when you need a terminal tractor, Terberg! Enough said. Best off tractors in the world.

I've been in one for 170 hours now. Initially, the cons outweighed the pros. The steering isn't as tight as the Kalmar we have. Our yard has limited space. There's a huge blindspot on the right. There is no visibility when backing to the right. I was finally able to adjust the mirrors for optimum use, but it's still a guessing game. And no matter how tight you turn the screws, I can't get the mirrors to quit vibrating. Backing I. The dark is a challenge. I have asked if we can install work lights on the lower half of the unit. The upper lights and reverse light create a glare in the mirrors, especially with stainless steel trailer fronts. With road trucks, you can get the swerving and wandering under control. Because this is a yard truck, it is what it is. Dangerous, but oh well. And lastly, this is a spotter truck normal, I guess. You can't set the tractor brakes and let the trailer air up. I could on the Capacity. But the Kalmar and the Tico you can not. Some of our trailers take nearly five minutes to air enough to slide the tandems. At least three trailers, the brakes won't be released until the tanks are fully filled.
