Parking.
When the towing vehicle and the semitrailer are to be parked and left unattended, set the parking brake on
the towing vehicle and apply the brakes on the semitrailer. Turn off the towing vehicle’s engine before leaving the
cab. Block the semitrailer wheels with wheel chocks.
e.
Backing.
When backing, use a helper as a ground guide to direct you. Adjust rear-view mirrors before backing. When
backing, the rear of the semitrailer will move in the opposite direction from the towing vehicle’s front wheels. If the
wheels are turned to the right, the semitrailer will go left. If the wheels are turned left, the semitrailer will go right.
