10+ yr Rookie Needs help

Hi midnight, once you get some seat time in the K-Whopper, you are gonna love it. I always put my butt in the left wheel track of the lane, you should be fine.

 

W900 awesome awesome truck....I drove one in nd oilfields with a beefy cat c-16

 

I don't mean to sound like I am being smart$$$ but considering you said you drove cabovers I would have thought you had learned how to drive without a reference on the hood?

 

put the pull handle on the hood on the shoulder white line. Cabovers tend to wider than earlier conventionals putting the driver closer to the center line.

 

What's a cab-over? Years ago, you could always tell someone who wasn't used to a cab-over, they'd be running with the trailer tires on the shoulder.

 

I just use the mirrors , set and glance in mirrors and see how close your drives are to the lines then after a while you know what the front view should look like , as a former cab over driver that's all. Have ever done , as far as the long hood thing , ya you can park a fair size vehicle in front and not be able to see it. That's the part I don't like but then I usually like my seat on the floor so not much different , that's a good model truck probably last a lifetime , congratulation.

 

Boy notsonewb, got that right. I was at a stoplight once in Chicago, and must have been too close to a small car, her car stalled, the light turned green, I never saw her, and pushed her halfway through the intersection.

 

Yep , it can happen , I wish my front corner mirrors were really tall so I could have o e of them to see in front of the bumper. It would help in the situation you described and when maneuvering in tight spaces.
