Starting Rhoel on May 16

Wheres george?

 

You'll get it, good luck on your test!

 

Its not something that comes naturally after driving a car but you'll get it. Just remember to go slow and make small steering adjustments.

 

Practice, practice, practice... The only way you get better is doing it over and over. If you get to a terminal with a trainer, ask them to let you practice, it is amazing how much help and hour or so can be. Pay attention when you are at shippers and receivers, or at truckstops, watch what the other drivers do, you can learn alot just by watching other drivers. After a few months you will be backing like a supertrucker!

 

Its all in the set up! Just remember that. Heck some days I back like an allstar. Other days like I'm 16 again. Lol. Just don't get frazzled and work thru it.

 

I had all kinds of problems backing when I first got out on my own with Roehl. My problem was that I was over-analizing the whole process and making it much more difficult than it was. I don't know if this will make sense to you are not, but "just drive the trailer". If you can figure that out, it will become a piece of cake.

 

Congratulations Danny!!!! Hope to be up there soon myself. How did you like the school overall? I remember you flew in if you don't mind me askin what airport did you fly to? As that is what I plan on doing also.
