    You said you won't start till August... if you do not know how to back a trailer, find someone that owns one and start practicing. Even if it is just a fishing boat trailer. if you can handle a short trailer, you will handle a larger one. Backing is one of the harder aspects of passing a state exam.

    I know how to back a tralier just never like a 48ft or 53ft I can back a 18ft car tralier with ease and my personal tralier is a 10ft tralier and I can put it anywhere you want it but ik backing a tractor tralier will be alot harder especially some of the places ive saw them put and saw my dad put his cause he drove to NYC 3 times a week from nc I wish he still drove cause he could help me but he was a O/O for 1 years and went bankrupt after fuel cost and tolls in NYC

    If you already know how to back, half the battle is done for you. Backing longer trailers is EASIER than short trailers cause you have more response time. Again. Don't rush yourself and you will do just fine. It also helps if you can drive a stick.
