Update: I want to thank everyone who has and will comment on this post in the future. I’m actually getting ALOT better at straight backing, so I’m not as worried anymore.

My biggest problem now is making right and left turns while driving. I believe that I need to slow down and calm down when I’m behind the wheel of these big rigs. Re-evaluation is tomorrow, which has made me even more nervous while on the road.

Please keep sending positive Vibes and tips my way. I appreciate you guys/girls SO damn much.

They told me I need to work on my right and left turns and I need to work on straight backing. I’m being re-evaluated tomorrow.

When they evaluated you, did they tell you what you needed to correct? If so do what they say. We all struggle in the beginning. Good luck.

When backing you need to be watching mirrors on both sides. This means your head is moving like it's watching a ping pong match.

Also, try to keep moving slowly and making small steering adjustments as you go.

Thank you everyone for your replies, you all have helped me out tremendously. I’m at school right now, I’ll let everyone know how everything goes today.

It’s my 3rd day behind the big rig in at a private school. I’m having a VERY hard time straight backing. Earlier today was evaluation and I failed miserably. They told me that I am now on “academic probation” and have two days to correct my mistakes. I’m really down on myself and don’t know if I should give it up or not. Someone please help me out with maybe some words of encouragement.

It will be greatly appreciated
