I'm going to start a new service. It's called "I'll back it up for you".

Gezz.... learn how to do the dang job or GO HOME.

I'd rather do both.

j3411, thats a good idea...you could make a killing at the truckstops late at night!

Been driving for 7 mos now, and I still suck at backing. Why?? Most of the backing I do is up to rock piles, no need to be in a small tight area. Just back up to the pile and dump. I have been trying to improve, by using tire tracks left by other trucks. I try to put my tires right on them, and not from a straight position. I rarely get to spend the night at a truckstop, so no motivation or means to practice there. When I do, I try to find a spot waaaay in the back, or where I can nose in/drive-through.

I thought I was going to be able to see a truck next to me get his hood taken off the other day, luckily the driver stopped backing in time. I was setting there saying no, no, wait, I don't have my camera on...
