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.
I agree with mdamerell on this one. I used to think the same thing...if you can pull it in you can back it out, but it depends on your surroundings. Our driveway is narrow, steep and cut into a hill, so there's not any room to turn the truck to pivot the trailer. At the bottom of the driveway there a narrow street and a steep hill on the other side, so we don't have the option of cutting corners. I was able to get the trailer out but it was VERY ugly.
