    So if the spotter messes up.....and you slam your trailer into the tractor of some guy one over what's the spotter going to say? I should trust some random guy walking in the truck stop? Ok

    If you slam your truck into someone else's truck, you need more than a spotter.

    Hence what I said in an earlier post! If you need a spotter you don't belong on the road!

    Nobody was telling you to use a spotter.

    You're not everybody (thank God), and different people have different needs.

    I'd rather a person that needed help ask for it than clog up a parking lot for 30+ minutes getting out every 3", pull up 100 times, and still hit the truck next to them.

    I bought a little midland handheld radio to throw out the window if someone wants to yell at me if I am about to hit something ... much better then looking for a hand signal... I'm just saying

    For those of us who didn't pop out of the womb being able to back a 53'er; I say good for you.
