You do realize this is a trucking place not a car place right?
 Backing is part of our daily job.

He had one simply rule. "Don't back. Don't back. Do not back." His main point was, that it is safer to back trucks while using a "land guide" than to just back up blindly.

Do explain Stan, I can't make heads or tails of that.
I do know that UPS does not want their delivery drivers backing whenever possible.

And, find out why the rear axle won't hold 34,000 pounds... And, do this 3 times for a left turn.... You need the practice avoiding street lights, traffic lights, and street signs.... Which is virtually IMP0SSIBLE with some 4-wheelers on the road... And, with all your anticipating, also be prepared for the guy that does something you do not anticipate... They always find a new way to screw you up. Especially the ones that can't see a 53' box on the highway... _____________________ Driving Lessons Bristol[/QUOTE]

 I'm afraid I didn't go to the link, instead, I took him at his word. But, what I had to say still applies.....
