For all you t/t pilots: My son, a 18 wheeler driver witnessed this yesterday. a t/t pulls in the lot and parks. The driver goes into the shipper and returns and yells out to the guy in the passenger seat, " bring it out and load at dock 3" So the passenger jumps down and walks around to the driver side. It was a boy maybe the age of 12 or 13. The boy climbs in the truck, pulls out, drives down to dock 3 ,does a 45 pull up and backs in like he had done this a 1000 times and the first time in the trailer is in place just right. It was an eye opening event for my son.

Question, how old were you when you learned to drive a t/t unit?
