Backing Practice™ - The Return
Topic 21816 | Page 1
Great idea Errol! I used to love those exercises.
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
Looking forward to the series.
I'm starting, of course, with Backing Practice™ 01. The backing "problem" is there, as well as many possible answers.
These situations are not "impossible" or "trick" backing problems, but real life situations where you (a truck driver) need to back your 53' trailer into a spot at a truck dock.
Have fun!
P.S.: Later I'll explain how you can submit your own Backing Practice™ problem.
BMI:
Body mass index (BMI)
BMI is a formula that uses weight and height to estimate body fat. For most people, BMI provides a reasonable estimate of body fat. The BMI's biggest weakness is that it doesn't consider individual factors such as bone or muscle mass. BMI may:
- Underestimate body fat for older adults or other people with low muscle mass
- Overestimate body fat for people who are very muscular and physically fit
It's quite common, especially for men, to fall into the "overweight" category if you happen to be stronger than average. If you're pretty strong but in good shape then pay no attention.
Take a look at the first Backing Practice™. These are all real-life situations you may run into.
Feel free to add your comments.
Remember there is no "right" way to set up this backing problem.

TT On Facebook
About a year ago, I was posting various real life backing situations. Not cones or barrels, but actual warehouses and how to get to them - you know, real life situations.
So to re-start the series, I will soon bump the existing Backing Practice™ posts, one at a time. Yes, just like other Lazarus Posts, people have already put in their two cents about how to back into the assigned spot, but newer drivers can take a look, too. I hope you all enjoy them, and more importantly, get an idea of what you might be doing soon!
