Don't worry, it doesn't get easier....

Did you know the 75 people where there watching before starting to back. That'll screw me up every time. Just knowing they're watching....

 

All in a day's work. Take a few deep breaths and relax

 

You want me to blind side off the street up your driveway, then sight side around a corner and back inside the building. No problem, hot it in one shot.

2 hours later backing into a parking spot at the truck stop 4 spots open on either side? I have to pull up 3 times to get straight.

It's all part of the game. Just grin, and drive on. Its all you can do.

 

Man all last week I looked like a rookie backing up. One dock I usually one shot I spent twenty minutes trying to bump right. Couldn't put it between the lines at the truck stop without like six pull ups.... But the one blindside I had to do at a forwarder in the valley I nailed first try. Didn't even need to pull up. I was like what kind of #### is that?! Lol. I even had a "what am I doing" moment trying to bump the dock at my own warehouse... And it's a straight back. Just wasn't my week for backing up I guess.

I dont feel too bad now lol - my backing leaves a little to be desired

 

I remember a few years back nailing a blindside 90degree in a Classic XL and the tandems all the way forward on a 53'. Schneider driver watching called me a showoff. Later that evening I couldn't get lined up in the company yard.

 

That's funny, today my first back was a driver side 90 into a blindside 90 trying to get around the trailer that the yard jockey refused to move. Second back was a regular driver 45, third back was blind side 90. Between the three of those I needed one pull-up. And at the end of the day took me three tries to get myself straight and in between the lines at a company yard in a pull through spot....

 

Sheesh!!! I thought it was me.
What they all said.
