Reversing in is the way to go.
On most mine sites it is compulsory so that you don't run over someone while reversing out.

My wife drives a Land Rover Discovery and I drive an XR6 Falcon ute.
The ute is very long (especially with the nudge bar on the front), it also has a poor turning circle so reversing is pretty much the only option.

The landy doesn't turn very sharply when going forward at low speed, you also cannot see the bullbar which makes it hard to judge when you are going to run over a bombadore

My wife reverses in one go 9 times out of 10 so it can't be that hard.

I'll take the trailer reversing challenge

Cheers, Jack.
