How the heck do guys who cant back up get their cdl?

Adpocalypse sure is hitting you hard, eh?

 

its probaly because they arent as amazing as you are. if they didnt anything why do it matter.

 

There are good days / bad days, don't get ####y, you'll have your days

 

I do, along with a horn blow

 

Give me a completely empty warehouse no other trailers for miles and I'll miss the door by 50 feet eveytime. Now the last empty blindside spot at the pilot with not even enough room between trucks to open your door and I'll drop it right on.

 

Also, try being up for 3 days driving and then see how well you back up.

 

This is very cool of you man.I am always thankful for help even when I don't really need it. I drive for almost 3 years and usually do OK backing up that thing but sometimes I still mess up.Some 2 months ago at a small tight Pilot (the only spot left) I have gotten myself in a situation where I couldn't move back or forward despite being helped and the driver helping me was so kind that he actually woke up driver in the spot next to open spot to ask him to back up a little farther. Of course as soon as I made it into the spot I jumped out (probably red on my face from embarrassment)of the cab thanked the driver helping me (hope he is doing great!) and apologized to the driver who had to be woken up.

 

Yup,it is basically useless in real life situations. I passed the test in IL too.Perfectly did that 45 backing because before test I was told that I need to stop when the lamp post is lined up with the center of passenger side window.

 

yup. same for me. i had to stop at a certain crack.
