Failed backing test

When I got my cdl was when SC took out alley docking and replaced it with parallel parking.

 

If you wanna turn the trailer right then you steer left. And if you wanna the trailer to go left you steer right if you call me I will give you more pointers. I have instruction to give you too. 9076717043 alaska

Many students fail their driving test. My school kept taking them back to test until they passed. I went back and passed on the third try. First fail, I impeded traffic in an intersection. Second time I was in the wrong lane to cross the intersection, an odd fail, as I was in an unmarked turn lane, per my dot agent….two unmarked lanes, I picked the right lane.
I was excellent at backing, I could back up at full throttle in a straight line, like a few others. We practiced at slow speeds for a couple days backing in a straight line….got bored, so went full throttle for a challenge.
When backing slowly, I would not think about which way to turn the wheel….I watched the trailer and if it was going the wrong way, I flipped the steering wheel the other way.
I could never tell someone how to turn their steers to back up….I had to see the trailer moving in the mirrors to tell. I grew up on a farm backing up tractors pulling 4 wheel trailers and 2 wheel trailers, so it was hard wired into my brain, I guess.

 

Sounds like ya have a pretty good handle on back'in up--- just wonder'in what back'in up at full throttle is?

When I was haul'in steel into some of the bridge jobs in western Kansas, I'd have to back in 3 or 4 miles at times.
I'd put the 13 speed ranger in direct and idle it out--- that was around 10-12 miles an hour at an idle--- cant imagine full throttle.

 

Whats interesting is a school is supposed to teach you how to drive trucks by the way your describing things it does not sound like their teaching you, unless there is more to this story than your letting on, how much time did they spend teaching you to reverse? And how much practice did you have? Reversing is not that hard to do once you understand how it all works, so its either you had very bad instructors, or your not picking up what their teaching you quick enough, do you know if anyone else had any issues learning to reverse or was it just you? If these instructors are indeed so bad I think I'd be asking for a partial refund. Did you pay the fees with a credit card? if so you could call the credit card company and challenge the payment, the debit will be suspended pending further information from both parties.

 

Some these school are as bad as megas cram as many people into program people get 1-2 backs per day. had old friend try get cdl and he said they put 5 people in truck with him they all took a turn 1 back rather they got it done properly or not and was back inside from what he told me it was a scam at best take money and those who cant learn 1-2 backs thats acceptable.

When I got my cdl I had 4 people in my truck all were say do this do that at one point I told everyone gtfo come back when its your turn instructors wont happy but honestly I didn't care I do not need 4 people talking how to back when figure stuff out and once they all left I got in just fine passing the written and road first try mostly due was motivated make money asap. all but one other pass first go around he was very motivated as well get money in before them bill stack up.

 

Our backing range was a parking lot, so no consequences if we went got out of our lane. We were driving old 10 speed FD Freightliners….full throttle in reverse was probably 12 mph…..and it took 30 seconds to complete the backing at full throttle vs about a minute at idle. It just seemed easier to get it done in half the time!! Those old FDs didn’t rev up much either…but we had fun doing it, until the instructor told us to stop doing it…he acknowledged we were good at backing….I don’t think he ever had any other students do it!
We had an orange cone to aim at when backing…and you could aim that trailer at the cone like a gunsight, and make minor wheel adjustments easy enough with some practice.

It was was way easier than backing up a road.

I had to back out of a country road once when I came to a 6 ton bridge limit on a country road….it took forever to back out, and I could not keep that thing going straight….nothing like a ditch to make you nervous. I backed out at idle speed…
But there was never a back up that I couldn’t do, except for a straight in back into a milk plant, had to pull up 10 #### times! I had an offset back at a butter plant in St. Louis, with a big round wood power pole on the blind side….but it had a flat spot where trucks had rubbed wood off the pole. Funny thing was, to get out of the hole was harder than the back…you had to jack the tractor to make a left turn to get out without the trailer hitting some cement pylons….if I had not seen the prior driver do that, I wouldn’t have been able to get out of the hole. It was tight in and out, but out was worse.

 

Backing up is for Suckers. There’s a flatbed company somewhere that’ll hire you.
