Trailer backing challenge

**350RRC** · 5th June 2016, 08:29 AM

A small challenge for those with the time:

See if you can find the U toob vid of the guy backing a B triple around a 90 degree bend into the rear door of one of the Tasmania freight ships.

Blew me out when I saw it, but cannot find it now.

cheers, DL

Here you go, only a double, can't find the one of the triple but I remember it showed how close the gap was to the ship hull :

It isn't as hard as it looks. I find it easier to back in those situations than to back along a painted line, something I have to do nearly every day. Now, watch someone back a three trailer road train. That takes a LOT of practice. Do t think I could do it. Most places will not allow it. ( road trains are completely different to B double/triple in their configuration )

First time I drove something like that I had to go into a muddy paddock to tip. Made the mistake of tipping the truck first..... Doesn't work.
