It's easy! Just listen to instructions, take it steady and you'll be fine!

no idea to be honest .. I asked for warehousing as that is the line of work I used to be in and hope to go back into that environment as that is my comfort zone but doing it through the dole

Always check over both shoulders before reversing

Always put on the hand break when lifting and dropping

Park your truck with forks pointing down towards floor

And when you have passed

Ignore all the above !

The rear wheel steer is wired to start with but you soon get used to it on a counter balance. Reach are easier. Long time since I did it tho!

And take your time, don't get flustered. If you already drive other things it should be easy.

Don't try to turn too sharply at speed.

I nearly dropped my load on my test and still passed

take it easy, its not as difficult as it seems.

i taught myself in half an hour during a night shift, when no one else was around to do it for me, so it cant be that bad.
