18 Wheels Maneuvering Skills
США
Добавлен 25 июл 2021
Welcome to 18WMS! My name is Thomas Young. This channel is about helping to prevent accidents. Truckers have a big time responsibility in being safe, operating in a safe manner, keeping others safe and lots more. I personally want to say thanks to all truckers as all of you play a major roll in keeping the motoring public safe and keeping the economy going. Lots of accidents happens in areas where trucks are moving at a slow speed such as truck stops, rest areas, customers lots and other crowded areas. These accidents can be prevented when using the proper techniques. I will be covering a lot of territory and sharing my personal experiences of my time behind the wheel as well as my many years of experience in the trucking industry. Feel free to subscribe, like and share. Thank you and please stay safe.

Great info. I am trying to learn how to park my 5th wheel 30 foot camper. It surely isn't as long as your TT. Any hints...appreciated. TIA
I love campers. The key to shorter trailers is that they come around fast. Therefore, turning the steering wheel a little to get the trailer started, then turning back the other way to control it. May have to pull forward a few times to stay in control of the trailer swing. The shorter the trailer is, the faster the trailer swings. I hope this helps at least a little. I wish you the best!
Don't watch your trl watch your trl tires that is your pivot point, setup is the most important part, don't cut yourself short use as much space as you need to setup and get out and look as many times as you need not just to look at clearance look at the angle of trk and trl compared to where your backing into and remember if your using a spotter trust but verify if you hit something they aren't going to pay your deductible.
@chrisstockwell9235 great advice. Watching the tires is also important, but watching everything is important, especially when there is a big portion of the trailer beyond the tires. I have a travel trailer myself. Different from a tractor trailer but similar. Please stay safe!
It is always fun to listen to a guy talking about his passion, willing teaching it to the next generation. I love that you encourage people to just go out and look (and course think) as doing it right is way more important then doing it quick.
Thank you very much for your compliment and comments!! I'm going to pin your comments. Yes, it is better to do it right than quickly. Thank you, and I wish you the best.
Thanks
You're welcome!

Man u can't teach someone how to back up a 18 wheeler with toys
We all have our opinions. Thank you for yours. Teaching probably took and takes place in school. I am helping others however I can. I hope you have a great day!
"Promo sm" 😂
4:59 I like am sure many others were not aware of how important Truckers are and the sacrifices they make. So I will say; THANK YOU TRUCKERS for your many sacrifices. Stay Safe
Excellent response and comment!!! Thank you, and I wish you the best.
U get in trouble or what is going to happen?
Great question, unless they come after you, nothing is going to happen. Just pay close attention and try not to do it again. Thanks for your question.
I need help on blind side backing
Blind side backing is very risky depending on the equipment and area. I can help you with it, though. Please inbox me at tyoung.18wms@gmail.com Thanks, and I wish you the best.
@@18WMS Do truckers avoid blind side backing if they can help it?
Yes, unless they have a spotter. Even then, backing from the driver side is most likely a safer way. I hope this helps. Please stay safe!
I haven't driven for a living in over 40 years but anytime I went to get a new driving job I would always go get a printout from the DMV myself that way I knew what was on my record as of the date of that printout so when I would put on my application X Y and Z I could always preface it as of whatever date I pull that print out that way if anything else came up after that date I was not lying on the application and therefore it would not be grounds for termination. Drug test back in the day you could actually get a pharmacist to run limited urinalysis drug screens, now you can buy the kit yourself in the pharmacy and test your own urine, peeing dirty for a background check is one of the worst things a driver could ever do cuz that screening company is going to database that information and share it with any other company willing to pay for it.
Thanks for your comments and sharing that information. How things have changed, right? Have a great day.
These videos are so absolutely helpful for anyone going into trucking. Things people need to before they go into trucking. Great job Thomas . Keep up the good work
Thanks, mom! You know better than anyone, how I love to help others. Thanks for your comments. I wish you the best.
Oh you got a sub my friend!! 😊
Excellent!! Thank you.
Great video best explanation I see on RUclips sir !! Kudos to you for helping other 🎉🎉
Hi, and thank you very much. That's what makes me happy, is helping someone. I appreciate you and your comment. I hope you have a great day.
Good info ❤️💪🏿💚
Thank you, and please have a great day!
I'm an old guy now, but when I was nineteen I went on a backpacking trip across country and brought FIFTY dollars in traveler's checks with me. Fifty dollars, as in FIVE OH, and I went twenty five hundred miles ONE way. I still had to come back too, but I managed it. I took a Greyhound bus to actually GET there, and both tickets were paid for in advance, but for almost two months I hitchhiked with my buddy around Montana and Wyoming. Admittedly, that was a LONG time ago and a "different world", but today? As a sixty six year old? LOL. I wouldn't drive fifty miles from home without at least six or seven hundred in cash and my two trusty credit cards. Way too old to be rolling the dice at this point. Best of luck sir.
Wow, that was amazing, and I like how you said it was a different time than now. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for your comments. I wish you the best!
Came across this, he is so right, I have seen it happen so many times.
Thanks, Debra. I hope you are doing well and I wish you the best
Good video with a strong message. Good job
Thank you, and thanks for your comment. I wish you the best.
Always drive your own car don't catch a plane or bus
This is a great point! Thanks for your comment.
The Supply Chain Pendulum Swing An observation by Mark Stephens Volume capacity. Outbound tender volumes. Spot market rates. These are but a few terms used in the trucking industry within the United States supply chain. As with any cost to profit business, supply and demand remains the critical constant by which one makes predictive analysis. In a balanced market, freight movement compares nicely to trucking capacity. In today’s current market, we find ourselves in a conundrum as such. Where supply is abundant, so too are empty trailers whose movement depends on quick timing and flexible negotiated compromising techniques by planners and dispatchers. Pre-pandemic figures categorize nicely into the predictive ebb and flow of the pendulum swing in the supply chain (the range of profit margins targeted and often surpassed within the supply chain) The supply and demand formula was interrupted during this time due to unpredictable consumer buying phases. Production plants, distribution centers and off market third party logistic warehousing begin over ordering and quickly filling beyond maximum capacity. This exasperated increase to the normal pendulum swing was a primary effect of rate escalation. As a retired history teacher, I do recall 19th century philosopher George Santayana’s century old adage, “by not knowing relative history, there’s an excellent chance of repeating similar failure.” Doomed or condemned I believe was the operative adjective used. The trucking capacity grew at an alarming scale, yet the demand to move product remained the carrot to the thoroughbred. Rates were at their highest ever measured and the pendulum needle could not have reached any further than it did before the adverse effect began. By the time carriers had received their pre-ordered trucks and trailers in 2023 the reflux of the pendulum began moving in favor of the shipper and receiver (customer) where it currently lies, albeit in a slow decline. Trucking capacity is still extremely high in spite of some of the lowest rates offered and agreed upon. Add that to the rise in fuel cost in 2023, the supply chain industry saw a devastating rise in carrier and broker bankruptcies with thousands going out of business. Many analysts predict a back to pre-pandemic normality this year. That’s “hopeful” thinking. Bizlytics predicts the spring of 2025 to measure closest to pre-pandemic volumes. If an agreement was achieved to neutralize the influx of supply chain movement through supply and demand predictives and attainable profit margins would fall in a satisfactory target range the survival of all participants would become a reality; at least until the next pandemic. Technology is moving along quite well. AI is becoming a more understood ally to the supply chain partnerships and those who exercise that technology will transcend to the top and to those who let’s say wing it, on their instincts, well let us not forget Dr. Santayana’s famous quote.

Whatever a company put on your dac/usis that is wrong dispute it by mail.& have a credit card & 2 or 3 debit cards.if you know you have drugs in your system don't show up to go work for a company and you know you got drugs in your system
Thanks for your comments. You're right. If drugs (illegal) are in your system, don't show up. Better yet, don't ever show up unless we can stay clean and as safe as possible.
Let's hold men accountable!
Str8 up! Thanks for your comment.
Always have some cash or credit available. If you must, sell something, pawn something or borrow money from friends and family. Even if you don’t get sent home, it will probably be a week or more before you get your first paycheck, so you need money to eat, etc.
Great point. Many jobs hold back at least a week before a person receives pay. Having money to get through that type of situation is vital. Thanks for your input.
Always pack light and keep you some money…Always!
This is true in so many ways. Thanks for your comment.
I know when you get a job on a factory trawler and you get fired, the law requires the company has to fly you back home
Some companies will get a person home, but maybe different circumstances require different measures. Some will not, though. I se this a lot, and I feel like preparation is key. Thanks for your comments.
@@18WMS no worries
What if a person doesnt have a home listed on their application
Great question. If I'm not mistaken, a person has to list an address to get a job. At least, what's on your license. Most trucking companies use the address to hire so many drivers out of certain areas. This can be checked with a company of interest to see what they say. Again, this is a great question, and thanks for your response.
Another great video as always! This one in particular is golden as this happens all the time. 🙄
Thanks
Well explained! Thank you!
Thank you, @marclarochelle. I wish you the best!
I train in one month and it's a 5 week course. I gave up weed a week ago so I can always be alert and safe.
That's awesome! I wish you the best.
Fun under the sun
As always, that's a good thing.
Safety Frist. Learning a lot from your videos
Thank you!
lol… got to be careful
No doubt Buzzayb.
Tell them Mr.T
You know I will. No doubt!
Screw the DOT and their drug tests. What people do in their free time is none of the business of the DOT.
I can understand what you are saying. As we know, depending on what's done even in our free time could affect our ability to hold certain jobs.
I agree. This is a great video!!!
Thank you!
This is without a doubt, one of your best videos yet! Keep up the good work!
Thank you.
Exactly 😂

My guy I saw this coming from 1000 miles away.
That 20 20 vision! Str8 up.
Hallelujah sir. Druggies shouldn't drive truck FOR SURE!
No doubt! Thanks for your comment.
What if you don't have the room to pull up straight from 3 oclock???
Plan your work, then work your plan. Before any maneuver, it's a great idea to figure out the best and safest way to set up. Look at the space and items around you and set up accordingly. Get out and look is very important. If you don't have the space for the 3 o'clock , then use a different set up. Thanks and I wish you the best.
Great video. What’s the ideal spot to begin your 3 o’clock turn?
Great question. The three oklock starts when your shoulder is in line with the edge of the trailer by the driver side mirror. This is the first turn of the set up.
What the silver car did is very dangerous. Thanks for another great video!
Exactly! Thanks for your comments, and I wish you the best.
Thank you so much for this video, I will follow these steps. Very helpful
You're very welcome! Thank you for your comments, and I wish you the best!
Thanks for your videos , they very easy to follow and definitely helped me with upgrading to my truck for my company
Mike, you are very welcome! Thanks for your comment and everything. I wish you the best.
Well I failed on my backing, I totally panicked and blew it , I'm hoping they let me retest , I did pass everything else tho
Im getting back into trucking after 2 years. I will ne using this for sure,seems a lot easier
Welcome back!! Just like riding a bike, right? Just remember to take your time and try not to be distracted. I wish you the best.
Great video. Thank you.
You are very welcome! Thank you for your comment, and I wish you the best!
Thank you, I hope you still doing well havent seen any new videos but wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your videos. God bless.
I truly appreciate you. I'm getting over whatever it was that had me down recently, and I do plan to crank out some more videos really soon. Have a great day!
Definitely just finally clicked when you said where people mess up all the time.. was the part I always messed up on. When you said pretend you in a car at that moment and turn the wheel to the left.. 😅 one person explains what I been not getting for awhile. Kudos to you thanks
You are very welcome! I wish you the best!
Excellent video.
Thanks for your comment. I wish you the best!
@@18WMS Is it the same for an alley dock?
The set up would be different depending on available space.
Great,great,great explanation. Thank you Sir
