no damage just couldn’t get it onto a dock… went home unpaid as all I did was waited three hours to get onto a dock and in the end didn’t make it on
You should have discreetly asked someone to put it on for you, nobody would care, in fact nobody would notice, over the years, I put about 10 trucks on or in bays for guys discreetly, I did 4 at Basildon Tractor plant in 1 month years ago 
Cheer up, I had the same problem: I paid quite a lot of money to an HGV driving school and could not crack the reversing, eventually my husband taught me how to do it and I had no difficulty - except at one regular drop. I used to deliver concrete segments to Weymouth and had to go onto what was effectively a building site; you could guarantee the weather was bad just before I had to go, and the trailer would go anywhere other than where the men wanted it to because it just slid on the heavy mud, sometimes it could take up to an hour to get it where it needed to be, but the sense of (the eventual) achievement left me feeling great. The workmen used to take the mickey out of me - partly because I am a woman, but after while they just got bored and left me to get on with it. The lesson I learned through that was to ignore them - they probably had problems with an aspect of their work. The most embarrassing part of my reversing learning curve was when I had to take a 3 tonner to Woolworths in Derby - I could not get that van onto the loading bay for love nor money - because I kept reversing in the same way as I had been taught to reverse an artic!
Seany has gone quiet. I think he has taken a different direction in career,he might be a librarian now
