    looking at all 3 videos, I like this driver the best. I have the most respect for the veteran tanker drivers. Im good also, done many impossible things backing up. Took 37 years to be as good as me. LOL Ill bet this is no young driver.

    I think that it is more impressive to back doubles between two trailers than it is to back triples in an open lot. JMHO. It is impressive nonetheless.

    I'm retired from driving now, but I got pretty good at it really quick - out of necessity. When I started, there weren't too many girls trucking alone and the guys on the loading docks used to get their jollies by making me back in to the hardest spots...

    You're a better man than I! Only pulled doubles a couple of times. Backing them? Nah, I'll leave that for others! :biggrin_25525:

    I don't believe I'll ever want to get my hands on a double, unless I get it at the bar. :biggrin_25524:
