    start to finish you pull out of the yard take a left, get on i5 south take the kieszer exit turn left over the overpass another left, through the town of brooks left at the light over the tracks then a right back into the yard.
    go to the back corner there is a horse shoe coned out stay high to the left pull your trailer through pull up and do a strait back get out of the truck they show you how to put on both types of chains on
    thats it bro real easy stuff and there not like having a dmv instructor in there real laid back

    They make you do a full figure 8 serpentine back up into a dark building through a narrow door and then do a blind side 45 degree docking inside in the dark without knocking over any cones.

    Just kidding, it's all pretty easy and you can GOAL as may times as it takes you, they'd rather you get out and look than back into something and they know you are a newbie.
