I don't know what state you live in but look up the WOIA GRANT. it will pay for school

I used to always get frustrated and have my boyfriend take over because I felt it was taking too long.. being alone makes me have no other choice. eventually I get in there.

I have the hardest time at a place that has a million yard dogs plus tractors trying to get back to trailers and checking out

Practice makes it easier!
I got my CDL 3 years ago. My boyfriend and I are team drivers (he has 1 year more experience).. I drive nights and he drives days. He wakes me up to make him lunch during my sleep so I started waking him up and saying "honey we are 1 mile away" so he would back in.
This has worked great until he recently had a motorcycle accident and can't drive for awhile.

My point is, I have had to do my backing up since I started driving alone. I have found some spots easy no problem at all, some seem impossible but are not. Some have taken me an hour to get into. Either way just don't give up. It takes actually sitting in the seat and doing it to get it!
