Backing & Blind Spots

  • A.Get Out And Look at the backing path yourself before moving
  • B.Go Out And Listen for traffic only
  • C.Get Others And Leave the cab unlocked
  • D.Gear Oil And Lights check
Correct answer

A. Get Out And Look at the backing path yourself before moving

Why

G.O.A.L. means Get Out And Look: walk the path, check for people, posts, overhead clearance, and surface problems before you back. Mirrors and cameras help, but they cannot show everything a walk-around reveals.
