    @Wasted Thyme probably didn't notice the stove either. He has tunnel vision.

    Its just about managing your space so you have room to get under it when you need too, and understanding how the trailer falls away from the tractor on its own when the trailer is pointed the way you want it to go. It helps with keeping that space open so you arent steering more than you need to.

    I'm no backing expert. But occassionally we have to do backs like that. For me backing at a truck stop is harder. Mentally its easier to do knowing theres only grass on both sides, and not someone's bran new Peterbilt.

    Thats one cute critter though. Holy smokes
