<p>[QUOTE=&quot;flyingmusician, post: 2070120, member: 61515&quot;]you&#039;re more right than you think charliewayne......they really don&#039;t teach backing in most schools anymore....just the 45 and the straightline just enough to pass the state test.....if you saw some of my previous posts, that&#039;s what got alot of the students in my orientation and the couple of classes after mine that some of the guys i went to school with were in......they all said that&#039;s what got the students in their class as well.....my disdain and contempt for these &#039;schools&#039; is well documented all over the forum so i won&#039;t jump on my soapbox again haha.......when i tested out for my own truck after training, one guy hit the trailer on the backing part of his intial roadtest right before i tested out......as did one in my orientation class......the roadtester that tested me out said he was going to start doing that part of the roadtest first from now on because it seems like very very few students can back at all.....and sadly, he&#039;s right.....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>at least the school i went to was a good one (did my homework before choosing one) and they backed us in every concievable combination of scenarios until we could do it almost blindfolded and till we were sick of it lol....and it&#039;s helped me immensly in the &#039;real world&#039;....even though i&#039;ve been backing trailers of all types for years before i ever started pulling a 53&#039;.....and it shows favorably on the school, considering that all the guys i went to school with that came to epes made it through to training and are out there now.....but, sadly, most schools ARE very lacking in what they&#039;re teaching these days.....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I won&#039;t comment on the greensboro thing other than to say I know what you&#039;re talking about lol....at least they don&#039;t block the fuel island lol.....or, haven&#039;t yet in my trips through there or trying to get out of there.....don&#039;t ever see it happening at chester though, everyone usually pulls right in and parks and stays out of the way......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
