Congratulations from a fellow Buckeye, Tripletdad. Slow and steady beats fast and reckless any day, especially when backing. Good luck and be safe while you are out with your trainer.
Congrats!!! Backing is something we all have our days with, no matter how much experience you have. 15k will go by fast.

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007. After 15 years on the road I wanted to help people understand the trucking industry and everything that came with the career and lifestyle of an over the road trucker. We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
Becoming A Truck Driver is a dream we've all pondered at some point in our lives. We've all wondered if the adventure and challenges of life on the open road would suit us better than the ordinary day to day lives we've always known. At TruckingTruth we'll help you decide if trucking is right for you and help you get your career off to a great start.

Well y’all. I finished CDL training school with Millis. Orientation next week, and then out with my trainer for 15,000 miles. It’s been a fun few weeks of class and driving, and I feel ready to go out on the road with the trainer to put everything together in the real world. If anyone has been keeping up, backing was my biggest concern. I’m happy to say that it wasn’t much of an issue. I’m far from perfect, and I’m slow, but I can get it where it needs to go. This page has been very helpful to me.
