    I am never a doubles man. All those singles getting stuck on thin ice and those wriggles back there.

    Then again I am not much of a brain at this sort of thing I cannot count more than one trailer. =)

    Go forth and be happy.

    When backing dollies use minor adjustments at the steering wheel. That’s the biggest mistake new drivers make when backing dollies is over steering. Back up with the dollies straight behind the truck so your not over correcting. It takes practice and time to perfect. You’ll have better experience in the future with doubles work.
    Not all FedEx contractors out there pay crappy just have to eventually find the right one.

    When parking at a truckstop your allowed to park wherever you can cause everyone knows you can’t back up. I usually tried to park along side the scales
