What if it Snows?

yeah when I used to pull my boat. I learned early on. Grab the bottom of the wheel when backing. That way you're turning your hand the way the trailer will turn.

 

If you are helping back a driver up, stand in front of their truck so they can see you. It also makes it easier for you to see each side as they do. The biggest problem I've found is they can't turn the steering wheel the correct direction when you give them left/right instructions.

 

You live in FL, just go sign onto Cypress.

 

I'm gonna be moving out of this state. In fact to where you were complaining about. OK, Lawton(Altus) area to be exact.

 

Hey @Dave_in_AZ ?
More than 450,000 Kenworths and Peterbilts recalled for warning light defect that could increase crash risk
Thinking that Casper is looking pretty good right now

 

That noise is probably the hill start assist. It tends to kick in when the truck is at a large angle to thr trailer. I think it is the pressure difference on the air bags.

For those who haven't had to back an auto - starting and stopping is part of the game. Either the truck takes off too fast, or not at all. You can be creeping along just fine but then the truck just goes and you have to hit the brakes quick.

 

Pfft. Brakes only slow ya down.

 

HA. Thats what I had to do with mine.

Until I learned to just let the clutch out, tap fuel get her moving.

WORK FAST she docks in one move.

And presto so it is. And all the others point at me and go oooh, ahh.

SHEESH....

 

We don;t need no stinking warning lights.

We had wigwags for that in our day. Idiot proof. If the smoke hasnt alerted you already.
