  • I usually just back up until I barely bump the next truck, not so that you can tell, just a little bump, then I pull up and back up until I bump the other truck, then I pull up one last time and by then I have a pretty good idea of where I need to go

  • Dad burn flat bedder! I din't even know you had a reverse on your trucks!

  • SUCCESS ! = "Spotter" must See the driver in HIS MIRROR. - When Both arms moving up & down = strait back - one arm pointed 90 degrees out in either direction with other arm moving up & down = proceed in the direction of the arm @ 90 degrees out & continue to move back Increasing turn degree till the spotter changes his arm position. - CROSSED ARMS = STOP IMMEDIATELY! - - The most important factor is that the "Spotter", "Knows" the signals & the "Driver". "Knows" what the signals mean. "PERIOD"!

  • driverside always works better. darn pilot parkin lots. this being atl doesn't help. thnks 4 postin. God bless

  • Spotter should stand where they can always see driver in mirror. And I appreciate a spotter who uses two hand signals - one for keep backing, and one for stop. Period. It is very hard for a driver to interpret arms flailing, fingers pointing, heads shaking and hands waving to indicate all sorts of crap. The spotter has to remember they aren't driving the truck, just telling the driver whether it's safe to back. It's not complicated - either keep backing or stop. Limit one spotter per driver.

  • lol

  • He has quite a bit of tail swing I cant tell if its at the 41 but it don't look like it, that will make backing harder IMO.

  • that little bump was my spotter damn you.

  • Nice and easy!

  • Cool Deal!

  • go in nice and slow and have help. nice
