Well if you think its hard with a 5th, try backing up to a gooseneck ball with a sleeper cab. Cant see a thing, must stop in the absolute perfect spot, and if you back too far it goes thru the back wall.
My 2ton juice truck has no parking brake so i have to.shut off in gear to even GOAL. I lay wood scraps on the back and side of tire before pulling away to make it easier.
Which my kids always kick over.Tx Countryboy Thanks this. -

Back window. Suck it nerds!
Disclaimer: I still hit it off center from time to time so I'm actually worse than you because I can see where I'm going lol.Farmerbob1 Thanks this. -
Drag an RGN for a while, you'll learn to get straight before you get too close.

I line up my tractor tandems with the trailer tandems but I can see them better hooking up tankers. I do 4, 5, or even 6 drop and hooks per day. Practice makes you better
