Stick with it man. It was about 6 months before I got the hang of it once I got turned out. Don't have a defeatist attitude is you haven't been defeated

I'm kind of a busy guy. But if you can suffer along for a week or two, then get back to Phoenix, I think I could give you a few tips that would get you backing up like a pro.tinytim, homeskillet, Hammer166 and 15 others Thank this. -

Your trainer isn't very good at his job...if he didn't want you to practice backing...and you never scaled a load with him ? ... did he even bother showing you how to chain up ??

You wont believe what my chain and securement education was...
I was given a chassis. (Containers) told that I needed 4 chain (UGH.. talk about WLL... 7000# times three Chassis to get.)
My chain training was literally two cement-steel posts side of the bay doors. wrap a chain around both and bind it tight done.
Now I do it.
GO.
That would be a load to remember because all three of the chassis were loose when I got back to the yard in Joppa. Making noises back there shifting their way out and off.
It would be a few years later when I got into proper flatbed and the trainer had me throw chain. Coil in particular. Shingles etc aint nothing, thats strap work. Any one can learn it. Thats the key word learn.
I don;t think the OP needs to stand up for anything other than knowing that training is a sham. Running revenue freight in time schedule with hardly no time to sit in a real yard backing and backing or whatever.
Another kind of training. Ice. Find a few acres of pavement bobtail and throw it around until you can do circles and figure 8's at will. If the boss had caught me abusing his 110,000 dollar tractor like that I would have been so fired. But no one would teach me and winter was coming. So I grabbed the tractor and taught myself.
