July 1, 2016

Today was a better day! I had a semi hard back to do today it was kinda crazy & tight. Man everything in Chicago was TIGHT! Too small for me. But back to my backing I'm starting to feel better about it. I did that back today at the shipper then I backed at a truck stop & I felt a sense of accomplishment lol. I'm starting to understand the basics of backing more. It's not something someone can tell you or really show you but once you start doing it & see how the trailer moves for yourself then you start to understand. Man I see what my problem was now. I would never get my tractor back up underneath my trailer! I would just be over steering the crap out of the wheel & have a HUGE mess on my hands. Now for some reason today I started to turn a little, then pull up to get straight, then turn some more, then pull up to straight. Man once I got this concept down it was nothing for me! Out of no where it just HIT me. Now some of the crap I learned in driving school is starting to make sense to me. Well anyway I got loaded & headed home for Baton Rouge, La! Currently ####ting down for the night at a rest area in Missouri. Idk exactly where I'm at lol but I'm on I-55 south rest area at mile marker 40-42 something like that lol. But I had a great day today! Feeling great about my backing!!

 

Be safe bro!

 

Thanks man! This is exactly what I said I would do from now on
