Nope....nope....nope. 1st you are over thinking already. Im not sure if you are a new driver or if you are attending SWIFT Academy but you DONT need to be trying anything concerning backing if you are not in a Commercial Vehicle.....you will only confuse & scare yourself more. And plus whatever you are not properly taught about backing it will be that much more work for a mentor to work through. If you want to find a local truck Stop, TA, Loves, Pilot Flying J....and observe the movements of the Big Rigs, I don't think that would hurt much..but you should just be prepared & pay attention to the instructor. They will show you. Listen and follow their instructions. Backing is always PRACTICE. Even us seasoned drivers are practicing every time we park. You will have good days & not so good days when IT comes to backing... don't stress it! Its always PRACTICE, the more you practice the better you will get. You'll learn how to set yourself up to back, you will get better at understanding
Get CDL Manual. I believe it has basic principles of backing in it. If you have a vehicle capable of pulling a small trailer, rent a u-haul trailer. Take it to a parking lot and practice backing into parking spaces from different angles. It is same principal. Also go somewhere there are trucks delivering and watch driver's
