I'm dumbfounded there are that many people backing into parking spots. It was drilled into my head at an old job for safety reasons but I almost never see anyone else doing it.

I'm guessing these are all oil field workers who would have had the same training.

Backing a truck into a parking space is a lot easier then pulling forward into it

Way safer to pull out too, way too many blind spots backing out.

I shake my head at any car/truck/van/vehicle that pulls front in into a driveway, harder to see pedestrians or traffic when backing out, but you can see everything while backing in.

Some municipalities ban tow balls when not towing a trailer atleast, so you shouldn’t see this.

I get that, but you cant load the bed when you back in (which tells you how much 'trucking' these guys actually do).

So the context of the parking lot would be required no? I see trucks nose in spots in Home Depot, but back into the grocery store.

It also depends on what you need that particular day. If I just need some small parts I can back in since I don’t to access my bed that trip.

I think you are reading far too much into that.

Edit. You can also back in and pull out 4 feet to load your bed, done that plenty too. Be more creative I guess.
