    Its just going to take more and more practice. Just relax. Take it slow and easy. Ask for help if there are other drivers around. Practice backing at the truck stop in the morning before you leave the truck stop. And make sure you Get Out And Look so you dont hit something.

    Hang in there and it will get easier.

    It's freaking stressful sometimes but eventually your confidence will build and you will be fine. Don't let those little things bum you out.
