    I liked pulling tankers, mostly milk tankers, going to plants designed for straight trucks to back in. And I liked hauling frozen food to grocery stores too….get to back into those!
    I actually like backing in tight spaces. Once I had less than an inch of clearance from a brick building wall to the trailer side by the door…hit it at an angle so the tractor was a few feet away from the building. And I can’t see that well. I goal a few times and was amazed I hit the spot.
     
    Tmocha29 Thanks this.

    Well, I think I’ve heard it all. What will you make us believe next, Giant 300 lb fish? Supermodels wife? Gave Elon Musk the ideas behind his drivable electric shaver? I’d probably believe those before I’ll believe a driver actually got out and looked.

    If failing a backing test gives you reason to quit then you might be surprised of the many more setbacks that are ahead of you

    This isn’t rocket science but it’s not an “I quit” business either
    I know you are looking for advice but in this business you sorta need to have thick skin and the ability to brush things off
