Will a new truck derail your backing skills as a new student?

I've been doing this for 35 years.. put me in a Pete.. and I have to learn all over again.. worst truck ever.

 

I can only imagine how many trainers this guy will go thru once he does get hired at swift.

 

I can imagine what he will say when he has a customer that really gets into him about his backing skills.

 

Here ya go OP

 

Is that a short bus in the background?

 

Any truck any trailer is not a backing problem.

Once you start the process, the truck will tell you how to get it from here to there just as well backwards or forward.

 

Easy young one you dont know what the future holds and if you keep this attitude of someone trying to teach you and you think they are being mean only megas will hire you take a step back and look at what is going on you are talking about driving something that you never had before its large heavy and when you leave there you will be lucky to have someone else try and teach you I think that students should drive a different setup everyday it's the only way to learn now let's ask how long have you been there how many hours in a day how many days a week can you hook and unhook a trailer by yourself yet can you secure the load know how to check your truck and trailer for damage and be safe operations you need to know everything about driving before going into the job you see the way some of these drivers are at swift it's not the whole bunch but a fair number they did what you are wanting to do skip the important steps and just drive

 

Entitled mellenial coming at us....
Kid. Put your attitude away and may, just maybe, you will learn something. Or, don't and get all those lessons the hard way, the whole way along blaming everybody around you for your short Cummings.
Good luck. You will need it.

 

If you are actually good at backing up, any truck and trailer combo will be easy. You lack the skills required, don't blame the instructor.
