    Blind side backing in a daycab? Look out the back window!! I do it several times a night, watch passenger mirror as I start turning, the once trailer is over far enough look out back window. Blindside or sight side doesn't really matter is you have a giant back window

    You don't like backing while someone waves his arms like a 3rd Base Coach "sending the runner home"?

    Drives my father-in-law crazy when he tries spotting me at my shop and I get out to look. When I get that puzzled look I tell him you're not anywhere else I'm backing up. I'm not going to get into the habit of not getting out. He's not paying my insurance

    I defenitely prefer to have tandems all the way to rear if possible. Allows me to see all I really need to see in mirrors or a quick look out the passenger side. Taking the trlr swing out of the equation helps a lot imo.
