Today, we had FUN! We spent about an hour and a half going over the textbook chapter on coupling/uncoupling, then out to the rodeo course to practice, practice, practice. Our goal was to be able to center the tractor w/ the trailer to within a half inch. I got it on the first try, but not on the second. By lunchtime, I had two under my belt with no sideways slide at all. We practiced more after lunch, then, about 45 minutes before we were to quit for the day, we were told to hook up then pull the whole rig forward. Cones had alread been set up, offset about a foot from each corner of the trailer and only about 2 inches wider than the trailer. So we had to back the whole thing up between the cones. Since it was offset, it was not just straight back. I got that on the first try as well. My partner gave it a valiant try, but time ran out and, under the time pressure, got close, but hit one of the cones. Better luck on Monday.
