Today, at my Walmart DC, I realized, that I put my trailer in a slot, that a month ago, I would have passed right on by, for an "easier" spot. It was one of those moments I had a tangible measure of my progress.

This account has pushed me, and challenged me in so many ways. From driving in rush hour on the Long Island Express way, blizzards in New Hampshire, and the many many backing situations, it was nice to have that unexpected measure of improvement.

Daniel that is fantastic. I know all too well what you endured to arrive at this point.

Running Walmart is a serious churn, gotta hustle, and you responded to the challenge.

Well done, well done!

Well done indeed! I doubt I'll ever consider backing "enjoyable", as G-Town does, but at least I've gotten to the point where it is usually quick and easy

Thank you everyone.

I average between 18 to 30 backs per week. Recently I have been having an issue with human "made" obstacles to get backed into the docks. It started to shake my confidence. Now, after the fact, I can see that it was making me better.

Way to go, Danielsahn! Practice helps. Biggest observations of myself is I usually can make the difficult backs easily. The simple, easy, first-week-in-the-truck ones give me fits sometimes.good-luck.gif

It's an acquired taste. Like scrapple.
