If someone asked you to back there truck up to a dock would you do it?

I remember those days ....
Dreading backing in the dock ,sweating bullets ,so tired from driving hard all night to make the window time ,a stranger in a place I've never been like NY city ...lol but i had to do it ....if your gonna have an accident most likely it will be a backing accident ....backing is a very big part to learn in this career ,the driver needs to do this on his/her OWN in order to learn ....i practiced my backing in truck stops ,in the yard or anywhere i could and it paid off ,no more dreading ,no more sweating this made the job easier ,now i can make this equipment do a back flip and line up straight with the dock ....EVERY DRIVER MUST learn their " jack & chase " ...you're on you're own little fish ,ill be doing you a favor by making you learn ...im currently getting certified to be an instructor and i will be hard on my students in this part of the job ,in my book you are not a driver until you are comfortable backing your equipment between to nice road units in joe blows crappy little hole in the wall operation anywhere in the USA anytime

 

I remember once when a pilot asked me to park his 747, ............never mind ! that didn't turn out very well.
