Truckers even do that here in the city...I ended up in a small alley behind my friend's home, right as the large garbage truck was rounding the corner....I backed up and pulled over so it could get by....and he waved and nodded Thank You as he passed....and this is Los Angeles...![]()
Truckers are well mannered people for sure
However, I do see a different situation - you met the garbage truck coming around the corner of the alley ( hopefully not really fast), you backed up & pulled over to give him clear way. IMO you would be entitled to interpret him ‘wave’ & ‘nod’ as a Thank You.
Being the inquisitive & detailed pain in the a*&$ that I am, I do have to ask :
Did you hear him say ‘thank you’ ?
If so, what was the distance between you when heard ?
If so, what was the travelling speed of the Garbage Truck ( since you said you were ‘pulled over’ which I took as stationary ) ?
