    Did you ever back your lead pup with dolly and hook to the kite without exiting the truck?

    It's called hero hook because you're a hero if you can do it without a single pull up.

    Flapping in the wind at the end of your string, like a kite.

    I’ve done it a handful of times. When I’m on delay in Newark I go over to the empty line and practice until they ding me to get my trailers.

    I’d say for every 10 attempts I make at it, successful 3 times.

    Are you one of those drivers that can back up a set? I've heard of it before but never seen it done. I could back up a set maybe 4 ft before it would start turning.
     
    FlaSwampRat and rabbiporkchop Thank this.

    lolo,I Love this guy...........

    Do you realize hoe "Easy" that is? Do you how many drivers are waiting in line for a job like that?

    7am start mon thru friday- Day cab pulling ONE 28' Pup-Making 5-8 deliveries within 50 miles..

    And you just "Want that".....

    Pay your dues first,Then after 20 years,Maybe one of those positions may open.

    You might as well try looking for a dairy job hauling milk and ice cream in an 18' foot reefer to 7-elevens every morning and punch out by noon.
     
    okiedokie and Texas_hwy_287 Thank this.
