Training you wished you had more off

Backing at all sorts of angles and limited space. Eta and nat are confusing at the start. Tandem sliding

 

How about teaching new drivers NOT to drive in the left or middle lane and hold up traffic !!!!!!

 

How about teaching new drivers to sweep out the trailers even if they are just dropping it.

How about teaching new drivers not to park for home time while still hooked to the empty they are supposed to drop.

Then again most current experienced drivers need lessons on those as well.

 

Here's a tip... one of the things I do is to make sure all the trailers are cleaned out and I show my students my way of doing it... I say cleaned and not swept. I'm too old and lazy to push a broom so I bought an 18v leaf blower. I got it on eBay for about $30 without batteries, but since I have 3 drills and a couple of other 18v tools it wasn't a problem. Be sure to get you a GOOD respirator as you don't know what has been spilled on the floor and putting it into your lungs is probably not a good idea even if it is just dust, dirt, and forklift tires. I usually use a grocery bag to collect the debris and drop it in the trash as I go out the gate. Leave one door closed and blow it all into the corner. A broom here might not be a bad idea, but I just use my shoe to pile it all up. I put all the big stuff in the bag along with most of the dirt (don't forget to wear gloves). The rest gets blown out the back door. I pick up anything of any size that may have blown out, blow off the DOT bumper and close up. I've never had a customer complain about me cleaning out on their lot as I leave no mess, just a bit of dirt. It takes about 10 minutes, and I have done 2 trailers on one charge.
