Now thanks to my husband teaching me to drive our semi, that habit is broken. Takes a lot of practice to just use the mirrors, but I kept working at it and now it is the norm. He usually does most of the backing since he's been backing semi trailers for over 50 years! Even with that we work together with me spotting if needed. Most important thing as spotter is to make sure you can see the driver in whatever side mirror you are on and to have preset signals. We have a 40 ft and tow with a 5500 Dodge Ram.
