Backing a trailer is a no-brainer breeze!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I first started reading this thread I thought someone was going to break out a ruler...

 

And when you got to the end?!?!

 

Glad to hear you had a good day. Keep the positive attitude, it will help when you have the inevitable bad day.

 

Ive never been to the caves but how do you know where to go and what dock to back into? Are there arrows pointing or what?

 

You will stop at a scale that is on the right when you enter.
He will give you a rough diagram if you need it.
Then you go to your dock area.
The ones I would go to are tight, the ones at blast inc past mine were tighter.
Then on the other end where they store juice puree it is not as tight, but they have some small pillars that for some reason Martins trailers liked to hit.
They got banned from the facility for a month one time while I was hauling there.
I would spend most of my time helping people back into docks.
It was to help them, but also to help me.
If they tore out a steer tire, or ripped open a fuel tank I would be stuck in the cave for hours while they got it fixed.
Learned the hard way lol.
I was lucky, I took my time and never hit anything. Many were not so lucky.

 

I drove for 3hrs today and everything clicked!!!!!...Shifting and turns all went very smoothly...My class partner, however, obtained a new nickname, Papa Clutch since he popped the clutch and sent the instructor bouncing like a jumping bean while I LMFAO from the back seat!!!!!

 

walstib,ask any driver who has been out here for awhile and they will tell you that some days you won't be able to back up in a forty acre field.

 

We'll have to see how long THIS "student" remains in the industry !!!!!

But I do wish him Luck !!!!

 

Well, from what I read, I'm starting to think being positive and wanting to run legal are not good qualities for this job...I have friends that have been driving for years and they're both, I'm going to follow their(and the many that have sent me PMs) lead...Apparently it can be done and I plan to follow that road...If I make a "few" less dollars, so be it...

 

I have no doubt and I will share those days as well, I'm not stupid, just excited about this!...But being excited seems to draw ire so I'll start keeping it to myself...
