Well, I would'nt know...Like I said I keep my radio off. Besides that is being a smartass not to give someone a radio check. When I do ask for on it is always a stupid comment or like you said, nothing at all.

Answer me this, when is the safest time to back? (hint, there is only one right answer).
I really don't know the answer to your question but if it's safe, but not the safest time, would you recomend backing in anyway or waiting for the safest time? I ask because I hook and break 4 sets of doubles and back around 10 times a night (yes in the dark) so I'm curious if I'm taking unnecessary risks. Please share with us all you can about your backing experiences. We learn something new everyday.

Well since tiny jeep 11s knows all this time he is just pretending to be a truck driver, because not one post i've seen recently has lent anybody any good information, ill give you the answer.

The best time to back? Answer? NEVER. It is NEVER a good time to back. Backing is the most time when drivers hit things.

Now what you'll hear i bet, is that how swift drivers cant back, and this is your typical responce or mindset for someone who cannot back. HARDLY the case. If a driver tell you to your face, if they see spots open in a truck stop where you can pull thru, you arent a true trucker unless you can whip the truck in front, and slam that truck in that spot backing up. That is a stupid trucker. When you have 3-4 spots you can 'pull thru'? and you choose to back it in? No....that is a 'super trucker'. It is those same guys who go 70-75mph on the interstate, then wonder why a friend of theirs going 63-65mph makes $1000 more a month than they do.

I am that union flunky! We're not like Yellow. We hook our own sets.
