Im not gonna say top, better or even. But if you want to see backing skills. Watch the bedbuggers. Or better yet become a mover. You will see trucks backed into spots made for cars. Plenty of practise backing up, down and around corners, hill, culdesac's, across main roads in residential neighborhoods. With cars, trucks, campers, boats, etc.. parked on and past the corner. Light poles, walls, trees, placed in the exact worst possible spot. But when your choice is get it in there. Or carry 25,000lbs of furniture and boxes 300 feet or more. You learn to get it in. *funny thing though give a bedbugger 6 inches on both sides. He will get it in no problem. Have him back up to dock in empty parking lot, with 10 open spots on both sides. Bring popcorn and a drink, it's going to take a while and be entertaining.

I'd recommend you try a longer training program where you can get more practice backing. A 160 hour course would be the most ideal if you have the capability to do so.

Safety hold removed, passed road and an alley back.
Ironically it WAS YouTube that helped, but a CRE video:

Obviously backing on a range with clearly marked lanes is easier than any of the shopper or receiver spots and FAR easier than even the nicest truck stop.
Tomorrow I find out if I am due for a second seat truck or a training truck.AfterShock, Lab work, kemosabi49 and 1 other person Thank this. -
