I've just had my first week on class one. They sent me out with a experienced driver to keep me right. We discovered when he was telling me how to reverse I'd balls it up but when he just let me do it my own way 9 times out of 10 I nailed it.
They weren't incredibly hard reverses or anything just tight reverses between 2 trailers. But I think me being able to think it through myself makes it easier.

I had this couple of years ago when i first past listening to other drivers is more confusing sometimes that having your own mind and eventually when they f**k off and leave you be makes the job 100% easier

In my situation, the experienced driver I'm out with is my son. Payback, i taught him to use a spoon as a baby😂😂

im not going to lie. The first was at night, sleeting on tight country roads, concentration on another scale.
