    That first drive by your self with a trailer is a feeling u will never get again. Enjoy it, even with all the anxieties lol

    Always wanted to ask. How does that even work with oversized loads? Do you also have to get a permit to bring them in?

    I’ve been driving trucks for five and a half years (after 20 years of driving buses), and I won’t lie, skill at backing trailers came verrrry slowly to me. Nowadays, I really enjoy the feeling I get when I snake my trailer back around all kinds of obstacles and into a tight space. Not showing off, I don’t care if anyone sees me do it, but just for the satisfaction of being good at my job.

    Where was this at? It isn't "tall" if it's legal.
