I just start driving truck...and got problem backing..

I taught drivers training in the Army. Generally peoples biggest problem was oversteering. Keep your right hand at either 12 or 6 o`clock. Keep your left arm on the window (it will make it easier to look back at the trailer). Do not turn the steering wheel more then 25 degrees. Which means you only use half the steering wheel while backing. If your hand is at 12 then you will go no further then 9 while turning the wheel left and no more then 3 while turning right. Plus the slower you go the easier it will be. You dont need to fully come off the clutch until you master backing. I hope this helps. It is the best I could do without watching you back up. Remember when you back up you turn opposites.

Interested in truck driving

You will have a K2 restriction on your CDL. Which limits you to intrastate and greatly restricts where you can drive.
