This is a Giant truck leaving the loading dock, and making a loop around the surface parking lot before exiting the shopping center.  The Giant truck drivers have to make all kinds of difficult maneuvers to reach the shopping center.  So they have to be very skilled, and they are.  

The worst is where they turn off River Road, as they have to squeeze in between cars on the left, and a utility pole on the turning corner.  That is because well-connected bigshots on Westbard had truck traffic banned on their block.  So the natural, easy turn there was lost.  

Also, if either the Capital Properties plan or the CCFH alternative plan were used to redevelop the shopping center, the trucks would no longer have this space to make the loop.  Then they would have to navigate the tight new streets within that mixed-use "town center."  Now, since when is a neighborhood shopping center a "town center?"

Enjoy this classic Giant tractor trailer combination; at some point these are all going to be repainted with that ugly new Giant logo.
