    Every day,..

    Shippers, truck stops, consignee, that diner I like to stop at, parking when at home,.. um,.. when do we not have to back up?

    A driver will accommodate any situation and thrive. Its what we do.

    If you wanna get technical, you have to back up any time you want the truck to move in a direction other than forward.

    If you plan to drive a truck for a living,.. it goes forward and in reverse.

    You need to master both directions.
