    C'mon guys. We are all on the same side. Let's not devolve into a flame war.

    As Red Green says; "Keep your stick on the ice, we're all in this together."

    Seriously, if you can't figure out when your that close to your trailer you prob shouldn't be driving a truck regardless if someone's spotting for you. I never fully trust my spotter.

    This is gonna be real stupid...be warned

    When I was learning backing, I pictured myself a big ol monster who faced the trailer, picked it up, and pushed it where I wanted it to go...
    From there I tried to think that way in my brain, Im just pushing the trailer where i want it to go....

    I dont expect you to follow this. lol, the point is, you can mind (fornicate) yourself and make too much of it..crank that btch, and when the trailer starts going, start chasing that btch !!..

    If you turn the steering to the left, you\ll make darn sure that you hit it.

    What he meant was to turn the steering wheel in the direction of the drift.

    Seriously, if you can't see what an unhelpful, trolling jerk you are, why not get off this forum.

    Correct, he said it the trailer was going to his left, so turning the steering into the direction of the drift will make it worse.
