When I ran a local fleet and receiving department, fruit haulers from Cali would pull into the lot, pop into my office and say, "Where's your spotter?"

So, this is not suspicious

Not sure I totally agree with you here. Having driven some large vehicles in my time, I would always use a "spotter" as a safety percaution while backing the truck up.

To me, asking for a spotter is a bit different than not want to know how to back a rig up at all.

Not sure there is a "plot" involved here, but better safe than sorry...and with the expired visa, send him home.

I needed to know how to back up for a simple operators license. I'm pretty sure backing up is required to get a CDL.

My drivers used to call these concrete cowboys "fruit pickers" and we really didn't want them backing to our doors after losing a couple of curtains and a bollard.

We agree on the bottom line.
