I remember one time that I couldn't figure out what I was hung up on - the truck wouldn't go backwards. That was the only lesson I needed for raising plow before backing.
Same for hitting walls, you learn pretty quick.
One time on a hilly driveway in very icy conditions a customer was moving his car even though he was instructed not to and I was going up the driveway, lost traction and slid back down the hill into the side of his moving car. We hit at a 45 degree angle, the corner of my back plow pierced the car door and peeled it open like a can opener, 4k damage to Lexus, back plow no damage. All in slow motion like 5 mph. If only he hadn't moved out of the safe spot.
