I know this, because of a guy I work with who was unable to get his license for certain, specific reasons. A friend of his was going to "hook him up" with a Class 3 license. These are the licenses required to drive a concrete truck for example.
The entire trucking industry is fata'd in the way it works.

Being able to back up is part of the driving test. For a class 1 anyway. If you can't back up with a trailer on. You fail. If a professional driver can't back up. The cops should be called and they should check to see if he has a real class 1 or 3 license. Or one made by a guy in a back alley.
