Backing 101 (Video Instructional)

This is just one method out of the many that are out there on how to back a trailer. This was a driver side back and for the most part you can take this instructional and apply it to what ever situation you find yourself in. You just have to continue to change the equation to fit your needs...

Lol I had my mind set on trucking then wanted to be in data communication system tech which makes 6 figures within ur 2nd year of college.. but I'm a person who likes traveling driving and I'm the youngest in my family n I want my mom to retire asap.. I say by Feb ill b on my journey just wanted to know if crst was best for me.. oh BTW ur young looking thumbs up haha

@lovekissy90 honestly I don't know much about CRST other than what you probably already read on the net. I understand your efforts to help your people. Im trying to position myself too to help my fam more. All you can do is give it your best shot, try and not get locked in with financing school so in case anything happens you can jump. If you have any questions, hit me up and I'll try and give you what I know. BTW thx :) Im not too old :) so Im happy i look young -E

@Boodieman72 wow .. that stinks that they make you blindside during your testing out… my only advice (till I'm able to show you on video) is to get out and look A LOT!!! like every few feet … GOAL .. also do as many pull ups as needed.. to where you eventually jiggle in the hole (making yourself into a straight back eventually) If I get another student down to film… I will be sure to film a blindside for you :) -E

@yourboyethetrucker On the CDL test here you have to do blindside as well. I know its to be avoided if possible...but sometimes its not possible. better during the day so we can see :-)

@Geck90 lol .. ok ok trying trying.. re: the mentor pay.. I think Imma do a solid 2-3 months before I do that video, because I am trying to see the consistency in the paychecks before I talk about it.. but believe me its on my mind and soon in the works :) -E

@shu1o for the most part E-ville is cool because they have a cafe (cooks hot food), a pretty decent shop, swift store, showers that are nice (so to speak) it has a decent size parking lot, video game area, pool table, vending machines.. so its pretty good overall.. :)thx for the comment.. :) -E
