    its much easier to back between 2 trailers then 2 cones in my opinion....when your trailer is coming in next to another trailer you have 13 feet 6 vertically to look at where with a cone u might have 2 feet

    Backing is easy after you do it aft awhile, main thing is get your butt in the seat, get it adjust too you, can you reach the big pedals, turn the steering wheel hard right then left, get the feel of the turning steer's, not all truck's are the same, adjust your mirror's get everything ready ,good,now take a deep breath and relaxe, you dont need a killer grip on the steering wheel, soft touch is all you need , i can back up up with the palm and fingers thru of my hand on top wheel, i can back up long ways this way super straight,just relaxe you be fine,Everett.:biggrin_25525:
