There ya go.... Teamster! That's the problem (and the answer.) It is not YOU who can't hit the dock square.... it's everybody ELSE!! :lol:
Just consider they are all imperfect, and back in with the right front fender CLOSER to the truck on your RIGHT, and you should be PERFECT! :lol:
Seriously, without lines it is difficult, but either way.... remember that it is NOT your STEERS that will make you square.... it is your DRIVES!
Crank your left mirror down to where you can watch your DRIVES. Try to make sure THEY are the same distance from the trailer beside you as your tandems are. Or a bit FURTHER if you want to believe that HE is in there "crooked." :wink:
Then make sure that your steers are straight with your drives AND tandems, and you're a REAL "supertrucker!" :lol:
Other than that, you just have to look STRAIGHT ahead of you.... and TRUST the "force!" 8)
The post about the mirrors is right on. There IS a Parralax involved. You need to learn to OVER compensate for the right mirror, and UNDER compensate for the left. I don't understand it all, I'm not as good at math as the "Godfather!" :lol:
I just know he's RIGHT! :wink:
