HELP

I was way way way oversteering by the sound of it.

Almost everyone does in the beginning. There is quite a delay from the time you make steering inputs until the trailer reacts. That's what throws everyone off.

Steer a little, give it a few seconds, steer a little, give it a few seconds.....

Yes, most likely. . I know I did too and it's nothing to be embarrassed about. On straight line backing, use your large flat mirrors and when you begin to see the side of your trailer in one of the mirrors, gently steer towards that side.. hold it for a second or 2 till it corrects and return your steering wheel back to center. Also make sure you position your seat lower instead of up higher... much easier when you aren't looking down into the mirrors.

I sure hope this helps. My first instructors never gave me any tips to correct my oversteering, but finally got an instructor who did and my problem was fixed immediately.

hold it for a second or 2 till it corrects and return your steering wheel back to center

That's key right there.....make a small correction and then return the wheel to center. A lot of people steer a little to one side or the other and then hold the wheel there. You don't want to do that.

So I'll revise my statement.......

steer a little, go back to center, give it a few seconds, steer a little, go back to center, give it a few seconds......

Good call Sue!

Here's a little trick I figured out to help make sure I turn the right way. If you get a bit confused about which way to turn the wheel, try this.

First, turn the wheel the way you think it should go. Next, let the clutch out just a tiny bit so the truck barely moves maybe an "inch".

You watch the front end of the trailer and see if it moves left or right. That's the direction the trailer will be going.

Well team yall have gotten me thru that obstacle. What advice can u give me on my offset.

Good stuff to read, thank you
