This is not true in all cases, just ask a semi-truck driver. It's often considered a rookie mistake. If it's tight, it's better to back in. If you are at a truck stop it's why the rigs are normally backed in. Unless the driver can back straight out they, will often get stuck nosing into a space.
Granted a semi trailer is longer but as a rule, any hole you can back into you can pull out of, but not every hole you pull into can be backed out of. A "hole" in driver talk is a parking space, dock, alley, etc.
