Same as a car dude. If your that worried try renting a small dump truck from United Rentals, Hertz Equipment or even Home Depot. Sometimes when I'm backing up my set of doubles off of a scale I wish I was in a bobtail...well ALMOST

Bean Jr. Thanks this.

Just like backing up a car. Just no rearview mirror on the windshield. As long as you keep the truck between the lines/walls/posts/other vehicles, you're good to go. Also watch the front end as you turn. Last thing you wanna do is tag a dumpster or car with the front end. If you have any doubt, GOAL.

You forgot to grab the 100' tape measure, to lay out the quarter crescent half-oblique. Literally impossible to back up without it.
Mr Ed, magoo68 and QuietStorm Thank this. -
Chalk might help, you know like the kids driveway chalk.

How many GOAL's are required in a Scottied maneuver?
Bean Jr. Thanks this. -

Is this a serious question? I try to be positive at all times, but lately some of these threads make me feel like we're being perpetually trolled. Or I've totally lost my ability to decipher sarcasm.
Either one is very disturbing. Lol -
