you back up the trailer without hitting anything. do not and i repeat do not put your arm out the window or open the door. have seat belt on and use 3 points of contact getting in and out. blow the horn before backing. but what ever you do. you better get out and walk around the whole truck and trailer before backing. walmart is very big on the circle of safety. that means walking around the whole unit and checking before backing. it is a automatic step if you hit something without walking around. either behind you or in front of you.(this is after you hire on)

Great, but what is the setup. What type of backing are we doing. Thats the information I'm really looking for.truckdriver31 Thanks this.
-
same backing you do now. just follow what i said.
-
So it's not a crazy exotic backing setup. Thanks for the heads up (especially about the arm, that is the one thing I do. It's going to be awkward to not do it.truckdriver31 Thanks this.

2 trailers will be parked with a space between them that you'll be backing into. The trailer you'll be backing will be to the left of the 2. You'll have a small area in which to move and position the truck/trailer for the backing, usually marked with cones. It's a fail if you go outside the cones when backing. Obviously also a fail if you back into anything. Other than that, pull the trailer you're backing into any setup you see fit, and put it in the hole. They give you plenty of time to back up, and you can get out as many times as you need (recommended). If you set up for the back properly, it's fairly easy and straightforward.Stringb8n, T.Rucker, Roscoe P and 1 other person Thank this.

Speaking of backing up when I was there they always wanted you to back into a space, not do a pull thru even if there's a wide open space.
T.Rucker, truckdriver31 and Roscoe P Thank this. -
yea thats still a no no. you could have the whole parking lot to your self and they still want you too back in.
