Hi everyone, I’m a few months licensed driving local LTL. I really need a better understanding of what I need to do to stay DOT compliant. I’ve been reading up on it but so much is written about it. Is there some kind of basic check list out there I can print? Thank you.

Backing Needs So Much Improvement
How long did it take you long timer’s to get really good at backing??? I either set up incorrectly or time it wrong, don’t leave enough room, my trainer is frustrated I think. Thank you

The smaller company is more like mid sized and more based in my area.

Paid Training Large or Small Company?
Hi,
Just wondering your thoughts on this or if it even matters for a rookie? I can do paid training through a mid size company and training is only three miles away. 4 weeks training and 5 weeks with a trainer. Or would I be better off with a mega carrier training program? Both are similar in starter training pay.
Thank You.

Backing Plateau
Hello, question for you drivers that have been at it for a very long time or those drivers who are really “into” backing.
I’ve been class A licensed for almost 2 1/2 years and been doing LTL P&D most of that time. I sucked at backing at first, now I’m plenty competent and extremely safety minded. Despite the fact that I back all day long, I feel like my backing has hit a plateau. I see older guys in their 60’s or older just pop right into docks sight side or blindside. Sometimes I wait too long to get the tractor back in front of the trailer and I have trouble squaring to the pads on a 45 or 90 if there are no paint lines. Any advice on getting to the next level?? And do you experienced vets set up a 45 tractor trailer straight in line with each other or slightly angled?
Hoping to get and apply your wisdom.
Thanks!
