Cant learn from other peoples mistakes if you dont see others make mistakes...watch, be aware, retain and move on.

Alot of truckers go through training, if you dont use the proper set up to back, its on you. Its not the responsibility of other truckers to hold your hand because youre too lazy to do things correctly. Set yourself up properly, get out and look (G.O.A.L.), then back.

 

Im not a fan of pulling into a spot, To many thing can go wrong, as you can see in the video, other thing can happen as well, batteries go dead, and you may need a jump, with out a reefer behind you, might be tough to get a jump, But i would have helped the driver out, not for him, but for the other drivers truck he might have hit, SO, Im going to have to agree with the youngster that doesnt drive yet, If it was my truck that was going to get hit, I would hope a fellow driver would do this for me, as I would for them
