Not going too well

There is a few on youtube

 

Ask your instructor if he was a Super Trucker from day one cause he isn't worth a s/#t as a instructor. The guy has no business teaching. You can tell him that for me.

 

Thanks for the replies guys I just got to sit down and relax. After lunch the ahole put me with a different trainer. This guy was a mellow nice guy and I got real good. I dropped my 90 into the spot dead center no pull ups. Then I nailed the first offset. I had a few that weren't great but not horrible. This trainer gave me a few different pointers. He said maybe try not starting the manuver with a hard right but like a 3/4 right because I come in tight sometimes on my 90s. That worked I put it right in no pullups.

I had that loud mouth trainer that yelled at me today for the past 2 weeks I never took it personal until today. He was really overboard today. All he mostly does is sit in his car smoking cigs watching us back. He honks the horn and screams out the window when we encroach over a line. Rarely gets out to give any pointers only gets out when he's disgusted and comes to the truck window and yells !!!turn hard right!!! Turn left!!!!!! Straighten the tires!!!!

Anyway I'm progressing I know I am.

 

What company did you go with anyway? That loudmouth instructor needs to be sent packing.

 

the school I went to had a golf cart with a trailer (sized to scale) attached for practicing backing. It helped me a lot in getting my head around backing a trailer. It was a lot easier then, for me at least, to scale up to a big truck and trailer.

If you have access to a smaller vehicle with trailer (car or p/u with boat trailer or even a riding mower with yard trailer) you might give it a try.

 

I've searched in the past but found nothing. A current search for "birdseye trailer backing" found these two

This one is okay but not a lot of meat on the bone


This guy is a trip but a helpful vid nonetheless

 

TAKE A DEEP BREATH ....





OOOOOOOO SSSAAAAAAA

 

There is one more that is better then both of those but for the life of me, I can't find it. There were actual pointers like when the trailer tires stop moving crank the wheel the other way and it fall right into the hole. I'll look for it again and post the link when I find it. I wanted to watch it again too.

 

See? You can do this.

A word to the company about that trainer might be a good idea. If all he's doing is sitting on his butt in the car and yelling out the window he's not really training anybody. He's just intimidating them and that's no way to teach anybody anything.
A teacher's job is to show people how to learn, not beat them over the head with their shortcomings.
