This Was The Hardest Backing I’ve Ever Done In My Life.

I’ve been to the Bronx, and other cities. I’ve had to back in places from the street, but this is by far the hardest backing I’ve ever done. I still consider myself a rookie but I feel good I was able to finally get in here, I was so close to giving up. I’m at the Heinz plant in San Diego, close to Tijuana. Only one way in and one way out here.

Only way I was able to get in was an older driver that was delivering a tanker load saw I was struggling and helped guide me in. Still took 30 minutes and I literally had to use every single inch that was available. I slid my tandems all the way forward and I am just so glad it is over. I hope I don’t have a hard back like this for a loooong long time.

That was the hardest backing you’ve ever done ……….. until the next one that’s even harder! Lol

I’ve never done this, but there have been several times when I seriously considered asking a yard driver to let me drop my trailer so he could back it in for me. (That is assuming there is a yard driver available.)

You might want to put that idea in your back pocket for possible use in the future.

Yep, give the yard goat a $10-$20 bill works everytime! lol Most I ever tipped was tow truck driver who helped us chain up in Bishop Ca. where my 1st co-driver got us jack knifed parking, at edge of road because CHP had it shut down ahead. Spent the night, woke to a huge snow burm beside us from the plows. CRST called for a pull out, got us going, after he showed us how to chain up, I grabbed 2 $20's from the truck to tip him. He was VERY busy, had another just ahead of us on the drop down so we didn't see, til we drove past him pulling that guy out.... At $450 a pop, dude made bank that snow storm !!
