 |  Thanks for asking cricket! I had an interveiw with a trucking company that hauls for A.B. My job would have been hauling empty can and glass product to the brewery in Ft. Collins. I flunked my driving test due to my inability to back into a dock, I was given an opportunity to return home, find a truck to practice my backing and then retest. After heart searching coming home and talking with my wife, I decided not to proceed. Another of the parameters of the job was having to work the night shift and with my backing problems it seemed a daunting task to try to learn. Thus the search is still on.

 | Probably a little late, but I was taught to put my hand, overhand grip, on the bottom of the wheel and steer the direction that I want the trailer to turn. Keep looking, something was meant to be.

| I don't do it anymore, but did when moving boats on my Dad's lot with a tractor when I was a kid. It's second nature after over 30 years.

 | Don't worry Fred.....I don't know how to back up either. I know that you'll get the right one when the time is right. Plus, who would I flirt with on FB if you weren't there?

 | Fred, your welcome to come on over to Iowa and try your hand at backing up the hay racks. I cant back up more than 10ft before I get jackknifed. OR You can try backing our log splitter (6ft long) up if you need. Best of luck on the job search!

| I figured since Sarge already had his own thread, this would be the appropriate place. I just wanted to say good morning to the resident grump around these parts. Good morning Freddy. How come you've been so quiet?
