Central Ref. & not being trained on a 53'

Sorry, but I don't blame Central one bit. Just look at it through their eyes. You were trained with a trailer that's 25 feet shorter...almost half the length. I'm no driver, but I would assume it would be a huge difference in the way you set up the trailer to back into a spot. Why the heck would a school train with a 28' anyways? I personally would not have attended that school for that reason alone.

 

What kinda school trains on any thing other than a 53' trailer? Id be asking for my money back. Sheshhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Did you really mean 28' and not 48'?

 

Because it is much easier to manuver a 28 ft trailer and it keeps the passing averages high for the school. Some states will accept a pup for their skills test without any restrictions. Even going from a 48 to a 53 can be a challenge.

 

personaly i would have kept my mouth shut,,, even went to a truck stop and see if some one will let you drive there 53 and show you some guidence..

 

You will find there will be many differences, I'm sure its an insurance thing. When you get with your trainer, it will make more sense. I would not be too hard on Central.

 

" even went to a truck stop and see if some one will let you drive there 53 " Could just see that happening.

Bang Bang on the door , excuse me Sir , I am an recently licensed newbie with no real experience and only trained on a 28' trailer , the company I want to work for will not hire me unless I retake their training course. So any chance I can practise with your truck and 53' trailer

 

don't exspect it for free and i have seen it happen but you have to be presistant,
