I Backed the Trailer in!

Yep. Stephen out of town, the truck at the shop until this morning, the trailer tire flat, and the threat of a ticket if it wasn't moved.

I called (!) to see if the truck was done, picked it up (all while Ammon used the air compresser to pump up the trailer tire as a temporary measure), Adria and Ammon backed me into the hitch, and Ammon and Tanner helped me back into the driveway. No stress. It isn't straight, but works, and I figure with some practice it could be straighter. Admittedly Stephen asked about whether I jack-knifed the truck, and I may have, but there was no damage to his bumper which he said was why that shouldn't be done, so I learned something knew.

Anyway, I am feeling kind of empowered at the moment.



Book recommendation :



Stick through it, you'll see what I mean.

You're brave. I've never even driven with something being towed behind me. I can't imagine going into reverse. I'm not even sure what jack knifed means. Awesome job though. The cover of that book looks promising, maybe I'll check it out.
