I like this idea. To really test the skills, the rig should be a lifted crew cab long bed truck with a single axle jet ski trailer.

Ding.

 

[charlyox]

I have a friend that was a truck driver and he won a couple of truck rodeos where you have to do a lot of backing up. He would kill this.

 

[DMF]

I am just a dumb electrician, but I think I would do very well in this competition.

...and no reverse cam.

 

[Advantage 1]

...and no reverse cam.

That is instant disqualification

 

[djunkie]

I've got this. I backed up trailers for a living for over 5 years. Lol

 

[Flying_Lavey]

Well, I've had the same boat for 11 years now. I think I'm pretty familiar with how it reacts and all. I think I could do quiet well.


But ya, crew cab long bed with an empty jet ski trailer that is narrower than the truck..... separate the patient from the rest. Lol!

The classes should be single, double, and triple axle though... the drunk part is a given

who thinks they could launch a boat that is hooked to a 5th wheel trailer pulled by a truck?

 

[Bradsrvrtoy.]

The new f150s come with an auto trailer back up button that takes all the guess work out and does it for ya...does that count?

I've done it a few times. Takes some gettin used to for sure. It's kinda fun.

 

[hallett21]

I'm in!

 

[yard dog]

I'll put my money on you and rvrluvr. I've seen you both do it a few times.

 

[BUDMAN]

Let's take it one step further. Let's add a woman's class. I've seen my wife back that shit up better than some men. I actually think she's better at it intoxicated.

 

[McRib]

Me, I can do with my hay wagon sometimes :eek

backing this is crazy hard! almost impossible. 3 pivots on this. the 5th wheel the pintle and the B turn table. blah!!

 

[Motoxxxloak]

Ding.

God. I used to have this set up. I felt like an idiot half the time cause the trailer would do whatever the fuck it wanted lol

 

[Flying_Lavey]

It's not automatic. You still control it but you use a know to steer the trailer so you don't have to worry about turning left to go right kind of thing.

No, the only thing it qualifies the driver for is the prize for the Biggest Sissy La La.

On the other hand, I guess if you don't have to pay attention to backing the trailer, you can watch your wife in the mirrors as she stares at the real men on the ramp.

Careful you may recieve an infraction!

Yeah I know and dont own one but saw it the other day and had to laugh....in a few years youll be able to hit a botton on the key fob and have the truck drive itself down the ramp

That's why I said sometimes no super trucker here and it's for more than 25 to 50 feet if that , but I have had to chain or use a come along between sets on both sides of the trailers to hook them together to back up few times and they where empty .

I'd put momma on the roster too

No shit. Right?

 

[Outdrive1]

Out of the Army many moons ago I worked for an LTL trucking company. I started in the yard hooking sets of doubles. Probably hooked a hundred sets in a shift. I have no problem backing a gear under a back box. Backing up a set is pretty hard but we used do it for fun when we had time.

Whatever you bitches are crying about is child's play. Lol. If it will fit somewhere I can back it in there.

You don't back trailers in with forklifts. You use a tractor.( that's a truck lol)

 

[Bradsrvrtoy.]

Figured youd get that one as ya work with boats! you can put a boat and trailer inside a shoebox with a forklift

Lol. I'm just here to bust McRibs balls.

Seriously though with that job as a yard hostler you had to make so many moves per hour. Every trailer you pick up has to be backed into a position somewhere in the yard. Backing up to me is the same as going forward. And I'm the worst teacher.

It's like driving a manual.
You either car, or you can't...and don't ask me to teach you if you can't, because "it's complicated".

....and make it a lifted Ford F-250. Mine doesn't turn worth a darn. 3 lane U turns. And don't try a u-turn with it on the Las Vegas strip. No Bueno.

That just made my nose itch...

There's no guess work involved in backing up a trailer, and definitely no using the rear view mirror either. Know the width of your trailer, know the width of the space you're backing into, and know how to control it.

The desire for ever increasing laziness in this society will be the straw that breaks the camel's back and folds the house of cards.
