Terminated during CDL training for bad backing skills....new company?

Swift has a terminal in Gary.

 

Well I don't drive anymore but learn what I can to be helpful another 10 years as his student and I may be halfway decent! Lol

 

Not sure where you live or if this company has other locations than Texas. They use fully automatic trucks for you to take the CDL driving test http://www.cdltesttruck.com

 

That's hysterical...and most definately true.

 

If the OP needs help backing from a huge company that will not help plus he will be restricted to only autos

Watch lots of videos Semi Truck Backing Up Extremely Important

 

If you need help and "practice" with backing and alley docking, you should definitely check out "Euro Truck Simulator 2". It's a computer game and also a very realistic trucking simulator. It has many different POV camera angles to give you that "in the hot seat" trucker point of view Unfortunately, I don't have access to a tractor-trailer to practice in the real thing but it's a worthy substitute.

Also on youtube, check out these three videos
1. Euro Truck Simulator 2, Alley Dock Backing (youtube channel: kundarsa)
2. CR England - Proper Backing (youtube channel: C. R. England)
3. Backing a semi (tutorial #4)(youtube channel: sean sutherland)
4. Alley docking suggestions and tips (youtube channel: wwwnetryder)

By watching these videos and practicing in the game, I've learned more in these last couple of days about alley docking and general backing than I have in my 8 week CDL course.
