I was thinking about how insanely strong Fred Flintstone is. The guy is capable of using his legs to propel a car made out of stone to over 50 mph, he can crack stones with his fists and have dinosaurs slam into his body that weigh multiple tons and it is just an annoyance to him. The guy has the physical characteristics of a Baki character.

Idk if trucking is for me I'm a wuss and it's hard for me to even go back in a straight line. I'm gonna go until I pass or fail though.

You would be surprised at how many of us have faced the same challenges. Backing in a straight line is easiest if you think about not relying on turning the wheel until absolutely necessary and only slightly. You will be ok, Joe! The spirit of all of us Masters of Truck-kun are with you! @joemama711

The key to backing a trailer is that you turn in the opposite direction of its drift. So if you see it going left, you turn right. But again only slightly. Avoid big turns.

@gabriel_true do you only use the driver mirror and adjust for space? I try that and I guess I'm just unsure of when I'm supposed to counter steer. The class instructor is kinda a jackass lol but the other ones are nice.

@kuharido I'm quesy already lol

@joemama711 It depends on how much space I have to pull ahead before backing up. Some situations you won't have a lot of space and in those moments you will have only one mirror available to you. On the passenger side the flat mirror I almost never look into. The curved mirror below is better for seeing objects nearby, but if you aren't directly in front of the trailer then driver side is your best bet. Lastly it is imperative to GET OUT AND LOOK (goal). Don't be afraid to park the truck and go to the end of your trailer to see how much space you have to back into a space or attach to the dock of a warehouse.
