That's very impressive! I've seen some impressive truck driving. It reminds me of some of the heavy equipment operators that can do crazy stuff.
I'm not sure what a "tuck" driver is, but I feel like if we explored it, we might end up in PARF.

That's impressive!
They just delivered Vicki's new sewing machine this morning, in a 53 foot truck. We are on a very narrow, twist country road, with a state highway 1/4 mile east and nothing but 90 degree turns to the west. The guy asked me how to get out of here and I told him to back down to the highway and I'd go down and stop traffic so he could back across it. He looked at his phone and decided to try going west. Half an hour later I saw him back past our driveway. It's almost 2 miles to the first tight 90 degree turn, and he backed it the whole way.

I was a truck driver. In fact a couple of weeks ago I gave up my truck drivers license because I didn't want to pay for the medical. But I enjoyed it at the time and it was quite well paid. I was never much good and I haven't driven one for over 45 years. But it was good bragging rights to have the truck and heavy truck thingie on my license.
