Back Up Cam

Just my $.02. It's not such a bad thought but it doesn't change the fact that you still have to learn trailer awareness and as already mentioned, will get you skilled at looking at a camera but not at backing. If you keep a good view of your drivers side and are driving your trailer, you should never put yourself in the position of danger on your blind side. Always get out and look, it will give you all the current information and keep you safe.

Contrary to popular beliefs, for an O/O who hualed HIS/HER own trailer that would be a great idea. Mounted on top/center of your trailer,that thing looking down seeing both corners of a trailer would be sweeeeeet.

For rookies no, for reassurance, ohhh yea.

I have 3 Go pro's. They work great at seeing everything. I still get out from time to time. I mount mine FR of trailer , FL of the trailer and one right on the rear. I connect them via a Samsung tablet that's mounted on the dash. I can view all three or pick between them. Evertime I stop it takes two second to take them off ( theft prevention) and remount when im ready to go. I use it when driving to keep an eye out for blind spots as well. Many uses...

Does FOUR to ZERO for "No Cam" help you decide? I'm, just sayin' ...

Ok thanks. So everyone agrees I should definitely get the cam. If my trainer didn't really suck at training I would be ready without thinking of a cam. Only 10,000 miles TNT to go and on my own. Im going to ask my fm to put me running walmart account so I can get allot of backing in for a couple weeks. Than going dedicated north east. JK on the cam. I was surprised noone was for it. I thought on a driver side ally dock it would show the gap on the passenger side. You see nothing out that mirror even with electric mirrors. Im sure I'll figure it all out. Just hope I dont hit too much before I do. Not an easy job to train yourself.

Rick, I'll pass on my personal experience. It's just a bit here and there, but it's information you could use. No hearsay, no legend, just the trucking truth.

Walmart deliveries almost always turn into straight backing. No 45° or 90° backs. Their store back sides seen to be actually designed for trucks. Lots of room to maneuver.

Can't say anything about Dollar General, but you can read in TT that DollarGen is where you get your backing and physical workout.

I made one trip, 3 stops, of Sears dealer stores. Three different docks (not too much blocking the street): a parallel back to a sunken dock, a sight side 90° dock, and an offset. There's some variety!
