    It's called a steer car. Nothing like being under a load at 60mph and a radio to talk to the guy up front. You really put your life in his hands and then it starts to rain.:biggrin_25521:

    I went to driving school.

    But before that I was a gravedigger for 17 years and routinely hauled a backhoe with a 1 ton dually dump truck. So when I learned the big trucks I already had some backing and mirror skills.

    It's all in your perception. Driving comes natural to some people, and it doesn't come natural to others. I actually find it much easier to back a 53' trailer vs a 12' trailer on a hitch.
