    the secret to backing up to places where you are unable to view is simple use a spotter, if none are available you'll have to back up get out check out the back of the trailer and make the necessary adjustments i've done it plenty of times its slow however you will get around eventually.

    I did a driver side parallel side earlier this morning and nail it. I understood what the instructor was tell me but words are different from action. So I got the truck and trailer near the cone and straight as possible. Everyday I'm in the truck, I become a super trucker

    Don't get too hard on yourself- Backing Skills DO NOT happen overnight-

    It took me a few years to Master backing in all scenarios.

    Practice,Practice,Practice.......It Will come to you naturally after a while.

    Good Luck with the boys down there with Cypress

    Is this right? Backing a flat bed trailer turn toward the drift and hold until trailer is straight then back to center? What tires am I to look at when it happends?
