Hubby and I graduated CDL school!

Being a Yard Dog is the BEST way to learn how to drive. They will Learn how to back up a truck. Learn how to Blind Side a Truck in very tight spots. I was a yard dog for about 3 years, had one driver make a smart ### coment, I put his trailer in a VERY tight spot, took me a good 10 minutes to get it in there. Dispatch, a few hours later, sent him to retrieve that trailer. I gets a call, he cant get it out of there. I goes over there. Ask him, whats the matter big mouth cant drive? If someone put it in, then it should come out. I blind sided the trailer in and you had to put the tractor right up TO A WALL, and INCH it back and Forth till you got it straight. Later, He would avoid me, when ever he would see me.

Note: When I Blind sided that trailer into the door, I opened the drivers side trailer door, and left the passenger side door closed, gave me a good 1foot extra, room, so I would not smash the door against the cement beam, and once I got the trailer inside, I had enough room the open that door then.

Note: There was a 53` trailer already dropped in the drivers side.

 

all I will say about a yard dog is you truck is WAY SHORTER than a otr truck by 8-10 feet so yes you can get into spots we can't

yes I've had to call the yard dog over to get trailers out.

 

to the OP wishing you both the very best of luck and keep updating how things are going

Wrong, I used a Freightliner with a Long ### hood. Not no spotting horse.
