SWIFT Student Driver with a backing incident on my 4th week of training!!

The LQC class is aka Close Quarters Maneuvering class. This will help you out in your career. While you have an accident, learn from it and move forward. I also encourage you to pa it forward as well. Never know whose life you might save. Good luck.

 

Until you get qulified andu don't have 40 acres to back,I would suggest waking your trainer.

 

When in doubt "get out'!! And clean windows & mirrors make a big difference!

 

I always get out and look even though I drive a day cab and have a nice back window I still GOAL,does'nt bother me.

 

Lol, sorry about your little incident..use it as a learning experience..But you swifites and englands sure can tie up our yards backing into a door or spotting the trailer in the yard.

 

I have found that is also doesn't bother all the other drivers parked around me : )

 

You should of checked to see if anyone saw you and then not said anything haha. Most trailers at LTL outfits have already been through the ringer, doubtful they would've noticed a new gash lol.

 

Your mistake just might make you a top hand @ going backwards.......in a few years.
I have a rule. If I'm going to make a mistake it's going to be all mine, no help from others thank-you. CYA.

 

You made a mistake. Count your blessings it was minor and learn from it. It will make you a better driver in the long run

 

Not to undermine you, FatDaddy, but how exactly does this particular accident make someone a better driver in the long run?
