    You're definitely a trooper and you are right! You can ask for help when backing but alot of times people just want to see you hit something so alot of times I end up just using my instincts, common sense and experience to guide me. And when I'm in doubt, I get out and get a clear visual for myself. And then when I get it in the tight door,, I pat myself on the back as you said. But you did a great job, keep up the great work. You got this!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😊

    I just found you today. I'm so impressed. What I've learned from experience (47 years otr) is if you're not sure. Park in the street with flashers on and walk into the receiver and ask where they want you. Then there will be no surprises. If someone has already told you this, sorry but like I said I just found you today 02/27/2022. And I'm a subscriber now. Best wishes.

    Great job Trucker Gal. What helps me with stubborn trailer tandems, is "PB Blaster" is a penetrating oil. Especially with the Winter weather. Just spray the oil on the pins and the tandems through the holes on both sides of the trailer and rock it back and forth a little bit and it will help you slide the tandems much more easier. Give a try.👍👍👌Keep up the good work and the videos. Your amazing!!

    Just recently joined your channel.
    I'm a Truck Driver/Trailer Puller too.
    Always looking for other perspectives. Cuz, it's real easy to get caught up in your own little world. Especially in this business.
    I've been considering showing my perspective for quite some time, but am hesitant, because I like my privacy.
    But, I also like helping people. And, if I can accomplish that by giving people a peek into my day to day, then maybe it's worth it. 🤷‍♂️
    Anyway, I like your content. Keep up the good work. 👍

    One thing I was never able to do is back a trailer up. Thats why I never thought about driving a semi. I think its a depth perception issue and a bit of stupid but over the course of forty years driving I think I have backed into 11 things. Never anyone elses property though. Mostly my house. Side of the garage. Multiple fences. Couple a sheds and one motorcycle. All with a small trailer carrying riding mower or something I bought like fridge or wash machine.

You get into a tight spot and nobody will help, they just stand and watch/ film what you're doing so they can talk about it or post on social media. They actually seem disappointed that you've not had an accident.
    Anyway, love your videos....you're amazing, keep up the great work and take care.

    Delivered to 3 Tractor Supply stores in one day. GPS sent me through a hotel parking lot to get back on the road. I turned around in a little strip mall instead. I had plenty of room to turn around, just not enough over the top. The liquor store internet wires took a ride up the street...lol. A lady and her husband sat there and watched. She came down to the store telling me she got my truck number and license tag. I was like ...okay that's fine. She said they calling the cops. I told her to have them come to the store, I'll be right here. She wanted my personal information...I was like Hell No!!! I'll give it to the cops when they get here. Yes people wanna see you hit something. That day test my patience and help my skills backing. The other two stops were very tricky. I'm going to subscribe. I like your content.

    You are doing great. About these glad hands, put some water to lower the friction from the rubber ( I've heard some drivers spitting on them, it's easy 😂)

    Hello young lady
    I've been watching you for alittle while your pretty good 👍
    Just careful please never get in a hurry
    Plus some advice if you care to have some
    In winter I found out never have your tandems all the way up because your taking weight off your drives, which you need in winter
    I usually have them pretty much in the middle as long your legal ,empty bad weather farther back..
    Please keep your fifth wheel greased for a dry one can put you in a jack knife Plus I keep the jaws sprayed with WD40 from time to time to keep water,and ice off of them
    Never rely on the tug test always look with your flash light to make sure you are locked only takes 10seconds always have antigel ready in case your going into a area that it's going to get 🥶 cold ,,by the way if you spit on the rubber glad hands they go on easier 😀 from a old driver 😀 try 90 %alcohol if you can find it in with washer fluid to help keep it from freezing, I always put alittle ammonia year round to help keep road grime off my windshield plus helps with bugs in summer 😀
    Take care young lady be safe God bless Merry Christmas🤶 🎄 🎅

      I might add that kicking or thumping a tire will not tell you the current PSI that is in it. You will not know if a tire is 20-30% to low or to high. It will tell you quick if it’s flat or close to flat. Use a accurate tire gage and look at the sidewall to see what max cold pressure is. I keep mine at about 10% under the max cold pressure. Tires will heat up a little and pressure in them will rise slightly as you drive. Also, if you do add or take out a little air put the valve cap back on the valve stem. There is a reason for a valve cap, it keeps water and crud from getting in there and damaging the valve core. Carry a few extra valve cores and the little tool for tightening and replacing them. Ok, tire rant over
