A jet ski trailer, especially one empty is the hardest trailer in the world to back up. Nope. A portable concrete mixer. Even shorter than a jetski and you can't see the dang thing until its jack knifed.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

A jet ski trailer, especially one empty is the hardest trailer in the world to back up. Nope. A portable concrete mixer. Even shorter than a jetski and you can't see the dang thing until its jack knifed. Quoted for truth. We had an old 1978 (Wasn't old at the time because it was 1978) Ford F250 and I was working for some contractors that were working for my dad's construction company. I was a block mason's helper. Quite possibly the chittiest job I have ever had. It was a lot of raw hands, sore shoulders, and lots of hard work and then lots of more hard work. Anyway we needed to back a concrete mixer down a muddy dirt unfinished driveway and of course being all full of spit and vinegar I volunteered, because, "I can back a trailer no problem!" Well after about 10 tries and the two block masons laughing, I finally got it. But I learned my lesson on short trailers.

Yes and a 3 speed on the column. I am 32 Yep. My first truck had 3 on the tree. Was 12 when I learned to back a livestock trailer to the loading chute. Seemed like it took me 10 acres of ground to get it done but I caught on pretty fast.

First vehicle I ever driven was a stick. My dad made me drive through downtown Selma and over the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Red light to red light and then that damn bridge.

Sometimes, I look like a black snake backing a boat trailer down the ramp. Sometimes it’s smooth as a pro. I don’t jackknife though, if I’ll bear down and think about it. The worst is when someone else asks you to back their rig down a long, unfamiliar ramp like the one at Guntersville Dam.

You ain’t experienced damn difficult until you’ve had to back a deuce and half with a 250kw generator hitched on back.
