Tight Backing

Lmfao were horrible ya know that? I think we scared him off. Or maybe he had to blind side in at Brooklyn and another driver wanted to touch him hoping that maybe some of his skill will wear off on him.

Sorry the devil made me do it.

 

i could soooooo take that and run... but I feel I'd see MT pretty quick lol

 

Ive been driving for a few months now with out a trainer, and I find i do best in the truck stops when i set up, aand then pull the trailer a hole or two past where i want to go, then just walk it back into the hole, and keep the truck or line on my drivers side close, keep an eye on the angle im coming back at too, and if needed have some one spot me, I refuse to blind side with out a spotter, period, I have the yard jockey do it, or get an employee if im at a customer, or another driver...they dont have to have a CDL, just the ablity to tell me to stop if im getting too close to something...if I see another driver laughing at me because im having a rough time getting it in, hes the first one I ask for help.

What I have found with backing is any trucker with common sense, will let you take your time getting it in, however you will encounter super truckers who wont have any patience and inch up on you, sometimes right where you need to pull up into to realign your trailer. Every one devlops their own way of backing, and talking to other drivers is a good way to get hints and tips on how to do it, just ignore everyone watching you, dont be afraid to ask for help, dont give a crap what people who have never driven a truck think, and dont hit anything

 

Lmfao and there goes the trucking forum

I have to say thank you guys. You really do making trucking a lot more enjoyable.

 

Heck thats a easy one I delivered to cabins in northern minnesota for 6years try backing up for over 1/2 hours just to get down a curvy driveway with cliffs on both sides and your cab is hanging over
