rockman said:If you can't see your spotter, STOP! Hand signals that you both understand for left, right, backup and stop are required. If you want, I can tell you what I use.
rockman said:When backing, until you get used to it, put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel, not the top and move it in the direction you want the trailer to go. When it starts to turn the correct direction, be ready to stop turning the steering wheel, and follow the trailer with your truck thru the turn or you will turn it too tight.
TravlinOn said:Do you have slides on the service post side? Step off the distance each slide stands out from the trailer wall and when placing your spotter be sure to put a marker down more than that distance away from where you think you want the trailer to wind up. Not doing so might end up with pushing a slide into the service post.

Good Luck,
