Congrats family!!

Backing will be situational depending on space an time. Sometimes it will be pull throughs and straight line back. As the day get later and the spots fill up you will most certainly have to do a 90 to get in the last few spaces. 90s and 45s are key at shipper and receivers, because sometimes you'll have to dock between two trucks in tight spaces.

Don't worry you'll get practice.

Be safe and keep it in between the lines.

Thanks A lot! I appreciate the info!

Shipper:

The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.

Congratulations Theron!

You got the easy part done! HaHa, I'm kidding in a way, but trust me there are a lot of challenges ahead of you. You will get plenty of chances to learn the different backing maneuvers while with a trainer, and during your first year solo. I like to think of that first year as a training experience - there is so much to learn. Don't sweat it too badly if you are not making really great money during that first year, just concentrate on being on time with your deliveries, getting to each location safely, and remember that golden piece of advice: Don't Hit Anything!

Building a good safe record for yourself during that rookie year will mean a lot to the future success of your career. Hang in there man, and keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot & I really appreciate it! I'll keep that info in mind for sure!
