Smart wagon backing method cuts backing effort short
An old time guide explains a new method for backing heavy wagons and trucks. By placing the rear wheel near the curb and pivoting the wagon, drivers can position the vehicle along the curb without any backing. The technique uses a tight sweep and precise angle to align the wagon with the desired spot at the curb.
