iv done jobs where i had to back in over a mile. high range and on the throttle. you get pretty good at it after a while biggest thing is small movements of the wheel.
Just tried a new gear for the first time ever, High Reverse

KO1927 Thanks this. -
Trainer got pissed at a student..used high reverse,at highway speeds,for about four blocks,perfectly straight.
Ill never forget it. -
Picked up a car at a farm, he gave directions for the best way back to town. 3/4 mile later, there was a grade crossing too steep for a carhauler.
He sure looked at me funny when I went back by his place in reverse @ 20 some-odd MPH, on my way back to the first intersection I could t-turn into. -
Ya its fun on those long roads till this appears in your mirror. -
Try backing up a 1/2mile farm driveway that's not as wide as your truck in high reverse.
-
would be funny seeing you rip across the lot like that!!! lol
