The method for steering a vehicle for loading and unloading a container includes a driver manually driving the vehicle within a handling area outside the limits of a station specifically dedicated to the loading and unloading of a standardized container, and parking the vehicle in a waiting area. Once parked, the vehicle is handled by automatic steering which automatically actuates at least the control of the path thereof and steers in the reverse direction until the vehicle is positioned within the station. The method includes carrying out the loading or unloading of the container, and steering the vehicle manually or automatically in the forward direction until positioned within the waiting area before giving up the automatic steering so that the driver can manually move the vehicle in the forward direction outside the waiting area.
