It's a Team's Life Learning to back a truck

Many years ago I earned my Class A Chauffeur's License. It made my day when someone would ask to see my ID and I could show that first license.

At the time I received my chauffeur's license the pre trip was the same as a car, did the headlights work, turn signals, brake lights, and did the truck have seat belts. My test truck was a Mack R Model with a Mack 6-Speed pulling a 48-foot water trailer. The Mack was a day cab that was used to haul water to drilling rigs and to haul salt water to disposal wells.

Bob taught me a lot about driving but who taught me to back was a very unusual woman that worked in the oilfield. She took me under her wing and with a lot of patience she fine-tuned my driving. Deb taught me how to use hills to conserve my brakes when slowing and many other little tips to become a better driver. She also taught me how to float the gears in a Mack and that was not easy.
