Hard to believe that I just learned how to back a truck and a trailer about 6 months ago..I guess I have never needed to..I could of became a driver when I worked for Pepsi, but went into sales instead..anyway, it's cool and fun and I got it down pretty good. I taught myself off of google..a lot easier than some people make it out to be.

How about you? How did you learn?

trial and error...I am really good at it now..I can ever back up a truck with a loaded swivel/tilt car dolly (imagine two trailers)...but I usually avoid trying to back up with the dolly.

I frequently tow a large flatbed with cars and/or truck on it.

i can back a tractor with a trailer. never tried with a truck, but i would assume it's the same basic concept.

i'm not good at it, but i've done it enough times to be able to pull it off after much effort.

The more you do it, easier it gets. Actually truck drivers end up having a problem. They back up the big rigs so often, they have trouble backing a regular vehicle up. Always getting it backwards.
