Mate backing trailers come with experience it just gets easier and easier. I dragged a set of triples east to west and back again then on the last trip to Townsville I was braking them up outside of town and in front of 6 other drivers absolutely kooked backing a single and the dolly 🤦‍♂️.

@Cross Family Trucking man that is awesome to hear.

You should ask if you're allowed to take the young man with you. Although I guess you'd need a day trip or an overnighter and back to make it possible. I used to love going in the truck with my dad when I was young, best memories I have I reckon. Watsons are good for giving people with no experience a go. I went to work for them in Derrimut at one point, I had no semi experience or anything. I only wanted to do local though and they wanted 14 hours everyday, so factoring in travel times etc it would have been a 16 hour day everyday from when I left home and got back again, just wasn't worth it for me.

Im not a truck driver. When you mention "road trains", are they what we know as "B Triples" in Victoria that have a 3rd trailer connected to the 2nd on a turntable? I've seen road trains that are a set of dog trailers with wheels at each end they connect through a draw bar and hitch. I've seen them in outback NSW and QLD and signs restricting where they can drive.
