My 10 day Orientation Experience with

Exactly what he said!!

 

CAGEtrucker thanks for giving up LDSTrucker for me to use. I wish you the best of luck in trucking, Watkins and Shepard is 3rd on my list maybe we will run into each other. Send me a PM not sure how my post count is to be able to reply back but we will see.

Thanks again.

 

I find it interesting to read all these accounts of backing and evals at different terminals. In Conover, I backed it up once between trailers and Matt said, "OK, you know which way to turn the wheel, the rest will come with practice" and that was it...Done...LOL

We never got to chaining either. I still have no clue how to do that but I think I'll figure it out on my own. I plan (if time allows) to find an out of the way place and try it out. I found a little key in the ashtray of the truck when I first got it. I'm "assuming" it's the key for the lock on the chains??...LOL

So any tips on chaining from you guys would be MUCH appreiciated...

 

Also you can find videos on youtube for chaining.

 

If you search YouTube for "Eskimo Sean" he has a pretty decent video on how to chain up.

 

A great idea CAGE and thank you for the advice! I'll do that. Still hoping we get a chance to meet too.

I'll also take Socalchuckster's and Znine's advice as time allows and check out those videos. Thanks guys!

 

Don't back up on the chains throw them over the top of the tires.. make them as tight as possible use bungies to secure the loose ends of chains.. I hope this helps some. TD24
