For me setup is key. Expecially if its a combination configuration. Get the truck lined up then roll it back in the hole. You know what gets a driver? Those sneaky little objects on your front blindside bumper. Look over your (back in area) before you back in. Make mental notes of what are danger zones. Line up your truck GOAL. Back up part way and GOAL. At anytime you are unsure stop and GOAL. Real drivers are the folks that can manuver a truck. It doesn't take much seat time to drive fast. It's your license, protect it. Now get out there and gouge on that throttle.
This guy started out with a great starting setup then called no-joy. Top that off, he's running as a team and his teammate did not even get out to help when he got into trouble. I woke up one night to a horrible crunch. It was CREngland, student got stuck in a bad way and tried to do hardcore Uturn and his tail swing wiped out the truck right next to mine. Instead of waking his trainer up for help, he got himself a preventable and caused downtime for the driver whose truck he hit.
Why would someone try and back into that spot at much of an angle when by the looks of that lot there's plenty of room to get lined up in front of it before backing in?
Probably a green driver. After he re-setup for the back, I backed up in my spot perhaps, he was counting on a yellow truck hood as a reference point and didn't see me back up, then when he put it in reverse to the spot he wanted he lost track of where he was supposed to go because the color scheme of truck hoods was all of a sudden different and it confused his little mind. One last quick backing video --
Is that Google Glass to make the video? Nice to be able to show the viewer the driver's perspective on the mirrors.
That does help. It's a totally different animal being on the outside looking in and trying to explain what to do to someone else, vs what everyone does by instinct because it's just second nature.
