Many first-time truckers need training on the different maneuvers special to trucking. Many express how backing in can be the most difficult or even just making a wide turn in a narrow street. Smart Trucking reported that backing up is not only one of the leading causes to truck and property damage, but those with sleeper bunks have an especially hard time making certain maneuvers. Parking maneuvers seem to be where drivers see the most difficulty. Especially in smaller areas such as local stores or parking lots.

What are some of the most difficult for you? Share your thoughts with our trucking community!
