    That should be a part of the new driving tests here in Tasmania. It will stop few P plates on the local roads

    Altho I dont drive B doubles,I have to manouvre a semi into spots very similar to where he put his,but with the added bonus of being in various angles to put the trailer onto a dock + walls/cars/other vans-trucks beside me.
    Does make it interesting.


    cheers

    That is great bit of reversing. One of the places I have worked was built way before B doubles. So watching those guys get a B double into a place that normal semi`s struggle is amazing to watch. They have to drive into the factory and then back out into the loading bay. With not that much more room than on that ship.

    That is cool, damn sure I couldn't do it. Imagine if the public were allowed to tow 2 trailers, that would make trips to the local tip really fun!

    Easier Dave, the Haulmarks being short come round quicker.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Ian, get a video camera and a triple road train and show them how it is done. None of those namby-pamby b-doubles.

    The bigger the vehicle the easier it is to reverse,but a 6x4 trailer with centre axle can be a pig, should all be 2" rear of centre.
