Backing Techniques: Driver Training Series

Course Length: 20 minutes

Backing counts as a very small percentage of a driver's driving time. But, the most common, and sometimes most costly, crashes or incidents in trucking involve backing. Backing incidents don't just damage trailers, buildings, and other equipment; sometimes they're fatal.

Backing Techniques: Driver Training Series is designed to help reduce the number of backing accidents by teaching drivers how to recognize the dangers of backing and provide expert-level backing procedures. It covers the proper procedures for each backing maneuver, including straight-line, alley dock, sight-side jackknife, and blind-side jackknife backing and parallel parking.

After completing this course, learners will be able to:

  • Recognize the dangers of backing
  • Recall general backing guidelines
  • Apply good backing techniques and appropriate backing maneuvers based on the situation

Backing Techniques: Driver Training Series covers the following topics:

  • Dangers & Guidelines
  • How to Back Your Tractor-Trailer Safely

The Driver Training Series is a collection of training programs which emphasize the essential skills necessary for safe CMV operation. This series is appropriate for all levels of drivers, from the entry-level to the veteran driver.
