{"replyTo":"","text":"Before you know it, you'll jump in your car someday and try to back it up like a trailer! Baby steps and don't oversteer and when in doubt, just hop out and look! Pull up when needed and ignore the ones whom have forgotten they've been there too. Hang in there lil driver! You'll get it! 😊","replyToPid":0}

883859 发表于 2020-01-19 01:31:45 Dont Turn the wheel to much, little by little, back up slowly, and don't think about if I turn right where trailer will go... Don't think, just watch and focus your DOT and see where trailer goes. ( good luck )

","text":".  Also, put yours hands like 9 o'clock and keep it , if you go to 2 o'clock, you have to go to 10 to make the trailer straight\n","replyToPid":307391}

","text":"Yes they have and me being a \"city\" guy I have no experience. The trainer said he has never seen anybody with no experience in pulling things until I got there... LOL 😂","replyToPid":307405}

572730 发表于 2020-01-19 01:28:22 No problem 😊 Keep learning 👍 Remember, you're not a trailblazer...we all had our 1st day of school, of orientation, of training, of driving, backing at customer, backing in truck stop, 1st day driving alone, and you will too.  You'll be fine 👍🚛. One day at a time😊

","text":"Definitely 👍👍","replyToPid":307386}

{"replyTo":"","text":"If you haven't hit anything yet, you're doing better than you give yourself credit for. Take your time and G.O.A.L. No, it doesn't mean Get Out And Leave. When I first got started in this industry, it could take me half an hour to get backed into a tight truck stop. Now, 14 years later, I've reduced that time by almost 5 minutes! Great success!🤣👍 Just understand that you've made a huge jump into something that will affect you and your family for the rest of your lives. Be patient with yourself and you'll be fine.","replyToPid":0}
