You are 20 years old? Not exactly what I would call an old hand....
outerspacehillbilly Thanks this. -
so i have to be an old hand and experienced driver to be able to say i could make this corner? makes no sense
yes im 20 years old, ive been a yard jockey since high school and i can back a pup between 2 vans with no pullups 9 times out of 10
we get CRST "old hands" who are 50 years old who take 10 pullups to bump the dock with no trailers next to them
my age means nothing right now, i never said im the best there ever was but i can make this turn -
A pup???
I have pulled pups. They cut a lot easier... try a 10 foot spread sometime, but then again your age doesn't allow you to be out here in the situations a lot of guys get into. You seem to think age has nothing to do with it. Age means been out here long enough to know that we don't know everything. Been out here long enough to have been in a lot of different situations. There is times where there is no way to stay off a curb and there are times when drivers get on curbs and there is no reason to be on them.
You want to fire some drivers up? A good way to do that is have a lack of experience and do the arm chair quarterback.....
outerspacehillbilly Thanks this. -
this corner isnt even a hard one to make, even if i had very little driving experience i could still make this turn
-
Your age alone spells rookie.. that is why your posts are drawing fire from drivers...

No offense Freebird......
But tell us "How the cow eats the cabbage" after you have had some miles on you.....paid a mortgage and raised a few kids.....Then you just might get some respect around here.... -
yes im 20 but ive got more then 2 years in now, i didnt come here lookin for a pissing contest but im not gonna say "im a rookie i cant do anything right"
were not talking about blindside backing a set of triples into a 104 inch wide dock here.....im talking about a very basic maneuver, all i said was i can do it, and you all seem to just doubt me........because im 20 -
