    Day 6 of company training after getting my CDL. I put this in with 2 pull ups and JD Equipment preventing me from doing a straight back. I’m glad my trainer just let me figure it out, feels good.

    Nice job. :)

    I could see where having a trailer that doesn’t pull straight could have a bit of a problem in those tight finger docks.

    Good job, now just don't try to back into a parking spot in an empty parking lot.

    Those can be a pita for the most experienced driver. Especially if you need to get something out of the side storage box once your in there!

    The wisdom of my trainer. He had all the chains, binders and hooks out so we could secure the seeder Enough to pull out and finish securing it away from the dock.

    Very nice job. Don't get discouraged one day when you have what seems to be the easiest dock door in the world and you can't back into it until you have tried and failed 6 times on a sunny day. It will happen and it will NOT mean you have no business driving a truck. It happens to everyone, unless they quit first.
