Alley dock
When performing an alley dock, backing from the driver’s side is recommended.
- Position your vehicle so that the trailer is angled in the direction you want it to take.
- Turn steering wheel hard to the right while backing slowly.
- Look out driver’s window to monitor trailer while checking mirrors.
- If the turn is too early or sharp, turn wheels slightly to the left accordingly. If the turn is too late or wide, adjust wheels by turning it to the right.
