    You did fine with that blindside backing. Some drivers just back up and pray they succeed, but you did it the safe way and no damage done. 😊👍🏽
    Let’s see that cat 🐈 you have riding on the road, please. Safe travels. 🏍🇺🇸🎒

    That car parked at that Mickey Ds Truck Parking spot is 9/10 a local driver(maybe OTR and lives in town) and parks personal vehicle there and whenever they come back, moves the car and puts the truck in the spot.

    How much stuff do you bring with you such as suits of clothes and such ?

      Thank you. When I stop to us the bathroom I’ll stretch then. Also on my 30 minute break. You can just find a bathroom to us whenever need be. I’ll bring enough clothes for about a week or 2 and just wash them

    • @VezOnTheRoad

      I’m not sure bro. I got my experience through prime. Try another major company. See if they will train you and get your foot in the door that way. Keep doing your research and calling around I’m sure someone will give you a chance.

    Any one who is messing with king pin relise handle deserves good beating. When you park, apply your trailer brakes, push forward like you do tug test and apply truck tuck parking break this should keep your Kung pin tight and it's a lot harder to pull on that handle.
