If you look through some of the backing into spots threads on here, you'll see comments from many professional 18 wheelers who will say over and over, no pride lost in getting out to check, no matter how many times you do it.

Hang in there, it really does get easier LOL
to the forum. TRJTH is right. I have been driving 18 wheelers for over 30 years and on the bottom of our mirrors on our company trucks is a sticker that says G.O.A.L (get out and look). Dont worry about other folks watching. Just remember they also went through it. Have fun and be safe
