I think that's double-clutching simulation or something.

That backing speed limit is crap- they can take the job and shove it. :lol:

I keep hitting the truck beside me. It looked like I had enough room but I keep hitting it! I was fired eight times last night. I guess it is time to find a new job.

I passed level one, easy after like 20 tries. I hate backing below 1mph, it takes forever to hit the dock under 1mph and pass the course. The other ones I just slam, because, as long as its there, I know i missed the forklifts and cars 8)

Despite the cheesy (functional) tach and speedometer, I have to focuse on steering 99% of the time.

It's a driving school Rev, not a company. They are located south of me. For a CDL school though, I hear they turn out some decent drivers.

I'm talking about the "company" in the game - they seem to be firing EVERYONE. :wink:

I was straight backing, had it in the slot and everything and the whole tractor/trailer was drifting into the tractor/trailer in the next slot. Do all the wheels really turn 90 degrees?
