Hey Terry no that makes sense i caught on to that today that if the edge of the trailer like you said is in my mirror and i can just barely see my tires i am backing straight. I did the mock 250 feet straight back up today and passed with minimal problems.

When turning the steering wheel, only turn to 3 and 9 and hold it there for a few seconds then back straight and then to the opposite, rinse and repeat.

Like said before, turn to the problem. Even after you get jammed up, turn to the problem.

Brian, while I have no tips for you I can offer encouragement! I was strongly advised to quit trucking school not once, but twice because the instructors did not think I could pass the backing portion of the test. I wouldn't quit and by golly got my license on the first time testing. See I am not much if a visual learner and have to think things through for them to make sense to me. We all learn differently so use your learning style to figure it out.....I am sure you can because if I can do this anyone can! smile.gif

TWIC:

Transportation Worker Identification Credential

Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.

Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
