Words of Wisdom--- "communication while backing up"
1.Buy a good set of Walkie-- talkies so your spotter can help direct you when you are backing up.
OR
2. Buy a CB for your truck and a handheld CB for your spotter to direct you when backing up.
3. When backing up, have your spotter tell you to turn to an object on your right i.e (class A RV on your right. Have the spotter tell you to turn left towards an object i.e.( Big Horn trailer"). Telling you to turn the 5th. wheel left or right when you are backing up can be confusing but not impossible.
