Default Wow. This is painful to watch.

This is totally ridiculous. My wife could have done a better job.

I feel his pain. It can be frustrating backing trailers up.

LMAO. Try backing up a 25' uhaul with a twin axle car carrier with surge brakes and the disabling pin missing. That was a bitch but squeezed her in between two 18 wheelers.

Damn I used to worry about getting caught up in a situation like this. Not so much now that I have some experience under my belt. Driving down a dead end like that could be bad for anyone. I think I would have just backed straight out instead of trying to turn around.

Would have been easier/less humiliating to just unhitch and turn the trailer around by hand (can't be much tongue-weight) then hook up and drive away like you still have a pair

I can only imagine whats going on in the cab frustration factor 10/10.

I'm so glad I know how to drive with a trailer on.

I got some friends who think they are real big shots though and have tried to show off before trying to back into somewhere really fast damaging their trailers.

Sometimes it pays to slow it down.


This guy didn't evaluate the area well enough.
