Freightrain Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 When I took my test about 12 yrs ago the reverse serpentine was the easiest part. Keep the trailer tires in the right line and the rest just follows. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Popular Post RowdyRebel Posted October 16, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2014 ...always cracks me up when an OTR guy who can't straight-back into a wide open dock to save his life starts running his mouth about how dump truckers can't drive. 3 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Popular Post BAD DOG Posted October 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2014 I've been on wind farm jobs where I've had to back up over a mile to get in. Straight roadways and ones like that with a lot of tight curves. I did pull a set of tanker trains for a few summers too no matter if it's a set of doubles or a single trailer I have a lot of days where I can back in places first shot and a lot of days I don't get it first shot. I seem to be better with the pressure of having an audience watching.i don't concider myself to be good by no means just lucky. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37391-are-you-a-good-backer-upperer/#findComment-263439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I delivered hay to my vets. house on Sunday kinda tight had to pull into the horses round pin then back into the circular drive and miss the rockery on the blind side with a 10 yd. gravel pile next to it I think it was a 6 pull up deal to get the trailer to drift where I needed it. the truck and pull trailer is a little different than a 5th wheel operation and as long as I don't " think about it" I can do all right.

other dog Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 It's always a good day when you're just this good... At least you're honest... Well done!A guy told me where he needed me to back in one time and said "think you can do that"? and that's what I told him. He said "i've seen a lot of truck drivers like that, but you're the first one i've ever heard admit it." Then I backed in right where he said to.I'm a little better going forward though, get more practice that way. This was with the old 379EXHD Pete and a 48' spread axle trailer- 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

RowdyRebel Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Look closer...see how there are air, electric, & a hydraulic line hooked up to (gasp) a 5th wheel plate at the bottom of the cylinder? Yup...that's a 39' frameless end dump wagon being pulled (or pushed in this case) by my CH613...or did you miss the part where I was getting my rocks off there at the end?
