All my replies disappeared so I'll just say keep going...you will get it... The real driving and backing are a bit different out here... I'm 21 days solo and still struggle backing at truck stops. I try to keep it simple. Pull through or almost straight backs. Practicing 45 degree at wide open docks...not really learned at my private school. Good luck and tell yourself you can do it, cause you can Moe.

Way to go... Advice is...take your time, watch 360 around your truck and trailer, use all 6 mirrors, go slow backing if in doubt goal.... Don't let the other drivers get you rattled. This is my third week solo...I find it best to just keep it simple out here.
