Rarely. I think I've only had to do it once or twice

 

All the training is crucial! Blindside backing is just as easy as sight side, just have to get out and look a bunch more times

 

Power mirrors help a bunch too!

 

If you are at a terminal or even a customer and dropping never hurts to practice blindsiding. Starting out try to find a set of 3 empty spots and aim for the middle. That way if you screw up starting out you don't hit anything or shouldn't unless you really screw up. U will do more blindsiding into the angled spots at Truck Stops than at customers. What you will have to do is 45 degrees at most since you can set up for it.

 

I've had to do it way more at truck stops than I have at customers. Some truck stops are just laid out funny.

 

There's a place we pick up batteries in columbus georgia ... rayovac i think ... and that place requires a blind side back with a little wiggle around the corner. Its not too bad once you get set up in the right position, but that's basically the trick with all backing lol, getting setup right.

 

Panasonic I think. I remember backing into that place when I was out with my trainer!
