Drool, drool! Ohh well...might as well give up right now.. and did you see the way he reversed tank transporter? I bet a lot of truckers, caravanners, and others pulling trailers couldn't manage that. Still, it gives you something to aspire to... and a massive overdraft.
A question:is there an articulated tank transporter form of penis envy?

Dear Lord how much does one of those cost?!
All that work and the tanks don't run scale speeds?

43,
It is called a "Double Bottom" An Articulated tractor/trailer pulling another trailer"
I think in the United States they are called "Pup trailers".
I have driven Draw Bar trailers in the past and whenever I had the choice I would PUSH the trailer into position off the front bumper rather than back them up,(two steering axles in tandem)
Reversing an Artic is a doddle in comparison,
The point about Tank Transporters that does not get made very often is that a lot of the reversing is done off road, at night, and between tree's, that is when the driver earns his money.
shaun.

..And I thought a ''double bottom'' is what a cosmetic surgeon provides you with, if you're the wife of Kanye West....
Most I've ever managed is reversing a muck-spreader (by function, not by nature!) through a gate, in broad daylight, with an old David-Brown tractor (type used by the RAF in WW2 to tow planes). The bods in logistics, transport command, and so on, have my complete and unreserved admiration.
