CFI Driver's What's Your 20? (2017 edition)

You don't go commando? What's wrong with you son?

 

Only in summer in texas or Florida lol

 

I keep hearing horror stories about El Dorado. Hoping to never get sent there.

 

@Cerberus XVI how much did CFI have you pay for the sleep study? If anything at all? And then how much for the device with all the equipment? Do you know the device model?

 

How do you do a proper set up? I'm having difficulty completing all backing manuvers.

 

Depends on the situation and how much space you have.

 

There is no set way that always works but typically I'll drive past the spot I need to be in until my driver's seat is about 2 more parking spaces past where I need to be then turn steering wheel alignment the way right until your truck is roughly 45 degrees. Then depending if you have alot of space or not varies how much to pull forward. Then steering wheel alignment the way left to straight truck back up... Make sure there's still enough space on your right to turn and get back under your trailrr... Once your lined back up your trailer will have close to a 45 degree pivot from your truck....

This method will most definitely not work in tighter areas like the flying j in aurora, Co or our drop yard in calexico... Every spot is different and there is no golden ticket way. You just have to have a good mental image of how the truck works with the trailer and adapt what you've been trained in the past to every situation...

That flying j parking is tighter than a virgin on prom night... Oops I meant to say Aurora, colorado
