Can you reverse your vehicle safely?

Provided you drive. Lol. My dad taught me this any many more maneuvers as a child, that would see me ok through life as a truck driver. Taxi driver. Courier. Airport transfer driver etc etc. My kids are nice and safe with it too. I taught them very young. Its not showing off it just a reverse into a small car garage. My boss cant do it. Most of my friends find it hard. Its narrower than it looks i guess. [media=https://youtube.com/shorts/90IPYISXkoQ?si=7cIJF8afcq8OghbB]

I can do it though not a fan. Try doing it with a trailer on (a pig trailer like a normal box trailer, camper trailer, caravan, boat trailer, etc. not a dog trailer like real trucks have). I'd not attempt that myself. I'm ok with back up my 4wd with a normal box trailer attached (shorter wheelbase from tow hitch to axle so it swings out of line quicker)

@zonavar68 You are right. The axle position on a trailer is what makes it easier harder. One of these on a rigid 17 tonne truck was the hardest. Theres draw bar trailers. Then these A framers. That A frame steers the wheels at the front making it a pig when you have a long rigid truck attached to it. The ones i had though wernt open back. They were box back for a parcel and frieght firm here in the 90s. Early 2000s.

@Perry1968 That trailer could be a true 'pigdog' because it's kind of both.
