[QUOTE="j&lfarms, post: 1219834, member: 20054"] When I was learning to back a trailer I was always told to "turn towards trouble". If you turn towards what you don't want to hit you will go opposite. My dad is also a truck driver though so I was made to go back into every nook and cranny as soon as I was old enough to drive. I have also learned that the longer the trailer the slower it reacts to the wheel. And one more thing, if the vehicle is longer than the trailer it makes it more difficult. I have an extended cab long bed and a 11 foot trailer. It can be difficult to back at times, but I have gotten pretty used to it. I started out of the farm one day and almost got stuck. I had to back downhill through 2 gates around a feeder and then dog leg a sharp turn to get back out of the loading pen. Talk about sweating bullets. A.) Because at the time I was borrowing the trailer from a neighbor and B.) There was no going forward to straighten up. I had one chance to get through lol.. My only explanation is the good Lord was watching over me as I was backing up. [/QUOTE]
