Practice the same techniques needed for working at a Supermarket or Retail Distribution Centre.

  • Learn correct backing and parking procedures including 90 degree reversing into a bay, Blind Side & Vision Side Reversing
  • Learn why reversing can be dangerous and the importance of positioning of the vehicle before starting to reverse
  • Learn the correct way to steer an articulated vehicle (tractor-trailer) in reverse.
  • Understand the importance of site/area checking before backing (using a guide or helper whenever possible).
