    I don'tb know, but I tend to not laugh, for some reason, there are random times I can have a very hard time hitting a hole myself. I am talking about once in a while, I will start to back in and miss, then miss again to the point it will get embarassing and make me look like I have never had a truck in reverse before in my life. lol

    I'll laugh, but if I can I'll help too. I can also laugh at myself when I have one of those days. Hell, I just tell everyone that sees me that its my 1st day.

    I was joking, but some dudes need a device in their seat that goes off and shocks them after 5 min of back and forth trying lol. And the shock strength increases every 5 min lol.

    A guy that manages to burn up trannys, doesn't need safety points, he needs flogged. lol

    Or any other driver, for that matter.
    If they get it in the slot safely, they get negative points.

    Don't single out just one company that has some drivers being slow to back in.
    That is hillbilly thinking.

    And would you rather they hurry the process and crunch another truck?
    Maybe so, so you could rag on that.

    Ok Guys- Not worth bickering about- We all started somewhere- None of us can hit it right away in the beginning........

    Yes,Take your time backing in- BUT Don't keep everyone waiting very long either- If you simply cant get in- Ask one of us to jump up there to get it in for you- Then you can practice your backing skills at the next customer or an empty lot etc etc......

    Just dont see people helping one another anymore- Motto today is Just get mad because your in a hurry.
