[QUOTE="Guitarman01, post: 4870364, member: 90385"] Thanks. A couple more things I would like to get down. What do you line up with to back up those sprinter vans in one shot at the station? In training we were told to center our shoulder with our spot, then swing out and back in, but that doesnt seem to be working too well. Im thinking more like a 90 degree straight backing where your pulling past your spot, cutting the wheel hard and back right in. I did it perfectly yesterday except I overshot my spot by one lol. I didnt pull foward enough. A pretty basic thing but I would like to get this down, plus it can get pretty tight when all the vans are already in there. Another one is country roads. Lets say its winter and you have heavy traffic on your ass, you see your customers drive but your not going to be able to turn around in it. Theres nowhere to pull off or over because the shoulders are covered in snow. I know its a big no-no to pull in nose first and park at the end of the drive just to get off the road, but at the same time your not going to be able to back into the drive without traffic passing or going around you, which almost seems more dangerous on a two lane road.
