I know I know...I'm trying to do it 100% of the time before I blow my knees out!At the risk of sounding like a supe, use the grab rail on and off the truck. Your knees will thank you for it.

You are spot on in your assessment here about how people react. Problem is that it causes many drivers to feel self conscious and the horn doesn't get used enough.
No one likes to be confronted over this so they avoid the problem entirely.
I was told when I first started, was that they didn't want us to get too comfortable with backing.
Don't forget to save your back too.I will never be comfortable backing. I back at the rate of a turtle at least in comparison to what I have seen others do. Granted, I am comfortable enough backing to do the job but I have walked off pickups several times because I was trying not to back or as we are told "save a back". A few times I was pissed cause a back would have been necessary but I didn't just to try to save a back.

I was told the IBT asked for (at least) a convex mirror but the consensus was that they get ripped off and damaged constituting an accident.I was under the impression the teamsters forced the company to install back up cameras in 1997.

They are very helpful.We got monitors and cameras because some little kid with influential parents got run over.
Too many new drivers rely too much on rear monitor as if its a rear view mirror and don't use the side mirrors enough.They are very helpful.
Its a good 3rd mirror. But you can not count on the camerea,by Its self.Too many new drivers rely too much on rear monitor as if its a rear view mirror and don't use the side mirrors enough.
