- Hello guys! Today I'm trying a new thing, a reaction video! Here I'm searching RUclips for videos of other people backing b-trains, and giving my input as the videos progress. If you enjoy this kind of thing let me know I'll make more! Also if you have any recommendations for future videos I'm all ears as well!

Just this week I sat in traffic from a b train backing into a tight access from a 2 lane road. People instantly started honking after the 3rd correction. After a few more corrections he got it right in there in under 10min. Once I passed by I could see it was a very young kid still in his 20's, gave him a 👌minty and he smiled with a wave. I got a lot of respect to the truckers of the world.
Very stressful for these truckers. I always give them some common road courtesy. Best to just ignore the car Karens because what are they going to do? Get mad inside their cars and call your manager?
Hi Matt, the B-double at 33:20 is Australian. The rear trailer is around 45 feet long and the whole B-double would be around 80 feet (25 meters). Backing into a dock is a lot easier if they paint lines on the pavement for your wheels to line up on because you have to park in the centre of the doorway and also be square on to the dock. I'm good at backing B-trains until I know someone is watching... then everything goes sideways! In my experience, I have found that the trick to backing anything difficult is to take it slow and easy and stay calm. If you get flustered, you're better off to take five, calm down, think it through and start again... and if that doesn't work, don't take it out on your equipment, it's not the truck's fault!😃
I like how you back your train. Pure professionalism an skill you an other train operator's have real skill.
It's a sleeper, not day cab, makes it even harder. Excellent manoeuvre.👍
Dear Matt, as a simple central European guy The first B train I saw was on your video. We do not have these combinations. (I think) Backing a truck like this is Artwork to me, Art written with a capital A. It is advanced mathematics as well. I drove a single trailer truck loaded with paper as a job student in the late seventies. Backing a single trailer combination responds direct on the movement of the steering wheel, but I do not even understand how to direct the second trailer. Another thing is the bad view of one of the rear ends of the second trailer. I watched you backing uphill and know that that is an extra difficulty as well. Thanks for your explanation and please go on making these videos
On a B train or Super B which just has one more axle on the bridge which is the middle group of axles between the two trailers, looking backwards in the mirror if you want the rear trailer to go to your left you steer your front tractor to the left and the reverse to go to the right. Only experience and practice will get you to the point of knowing what you need to do with the front trailer directed by the tractor to steer the back trailer. If you have played pool the principles are the same as steering a b train. In the first video with the Laidlaw truck he has to put an aggressive kink in the combination to get the rear trailer around essentially a 90 degree angle. Sometimes because the front trailer and tractor need a fair bit of sideways space that may make it extremely difficult or not achievable. I have parallel parked a B train on some of the side streets in Vancouver. Using all the available room and initial setup is essential . Because of modern technology a series of cameras at the back of the trailer and at the bridge would be very helpful. Above all never be afraid to get out and look for clearances if unsure. But that goes for any trailer / tractor combination. In time you learn what angle is needed to direct the rear trailer and when to start to straighten the front trailer to get to a straight line of the whole unit to continue backing in a straight line down a roadway that is straight or as the situation presents itself. In my early days a friend of mine backed a super B out of a lumber yard road that had several curves in total about 500 feet and about 3 feet of clearance on each side of the truck. Did it without stopping. I was in awe as I sat in the passenger seat. Be very slow and easy and over time with a lot of practice and the right attitude you can get good at it. Good driving.
This video confirms that Matt should be an Instuctor when the elbow and knee joints get a little worn out, absolutely absurd how natural it comes to you pal 🖤🤟
I used too work with a guy that was pulling 4 trailers forward, after a while he said to me, if I can pull them forward, I am going to train myself too reverse them all , he has done 3 with success, but the fourth keeps eluding him.Believe it or not, he is a city driver
I love the empty flat bed camera position. An idea for you, perhaps. I would love seeing what you're backing into. We can't see the obstacles inside the cab. Maybe a split screen view, 1 from the top of your sleeper and one in the cab.
And one on MATT forehead to see his visual surrounding
worked for Laidlaw for a few years. They mostly only run trains, some of those guys are REALLY good at backing. I've watched a fellow driver back between two trucks on a 90 back first shot, I couldn't believe it.
The BEST B Train backer is making this video 👍
completely off topic, but that rickenbacker bass behind you is beautiful!
Thanks man! It’s a 1981 4003, first year of the 4003’s with the split-pickguard, been through a lot on the road!
@@callthemall i bet! take care of it, those are worth some coin these days
And then you got the australian guys who back a-doubles precisely onto a third trailer to make triple road trains. Might be worth a watch.
Hy, so the ALDI-Train must be in New Zealand and the Loading is only in line. The last Trailer has Doors on the Back and the Front so they load through the whole Train! In Germany or Europe dont drive B-Trains, only on spezial allowed Streets and Highways. An B-Train like yours has the same pivot point as an articulated truck the only opposit is your Train needs more "presure" to bring him in circle, so he wants to go straight backwards.
It was Amazing to see your Reaction and I hope we see moooooooore of All 😉👍🏼 I hope ju undrestand my bad English, my shooltime is a very long time ago 😇
Greatings from Germany 👋👋
The Aldi unit is Australian.
It’s great to see you watch the backing videos I was studying before I discovered your channel. This gives me an even more broader perspective on your actions and explanations for your manoeuvres. Very good idea keep em coming. Maybe if you study one country at a time we can get a global contribution of this ongoing magic? Anyways good job on your first reaction video.
Well looky here, I'm starting to haul grain next week. Triaxle style. Company says they will train me on b trains. I'm here rewatching your vids paying extra attention to the details. Thanks for all you have done making these videos
27:18 You were asking where that truck stop was. It is just West of Edmonton. On the Southside of Hwy16 at the Husky/Esso
Dude, fyi. I’ve shared your videos with several old timers and everyone has had the same reaction and been absolutely impressed with your work. I grew up backing hay wagons with tractors and it’s pretty similar to a b train. Minus the pressure of people and trucks watching me do it but you got it down and are a fine hand at the wheel. Keep it safe and keep it on the road, see you on the next one call. 👍
Hello Matt the first video the driver was excellent driver almost pulled in one shot I in joyed that video thankyou for sharing it have a excellent day Matt here from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦😎
On some of the B-train vans the front box slides back over the back axles. Great Videos you put out
Matt nobody does it like you do brother👍👍👍
The aldi trailer is a aussie b-double,he will split the trailers,and the a-trailer box rolls back to unload
GerDay mate,
I haven’t read through all the comments so I dunno if this has already been addressed, but if they have, just ignore me - people normally do!!!!! 😂😂😂
The second last clip you reacted to was definitely in Australia as we call “B-Trains” “B-Doubles” over here, it was right hand drive, was a cab over (I think….and most of ours are, except tippers and livestock, although conventionals are becoming more common place) AND it was a 3 axle truck with 2 X tri axle trailers …..all dead giveaway signs.
We have B-Doubles on just about EVERY style of freight here. We refer to the front trailer as the “A” trailer and the back as the “B” trailer. How the “A” is unloaded is variously by sliding the axles forward to butt the body up on the dock etc OR, more commonly, rolling the bin, van or whatever BACK to the end of the chassis, via rollers and an endless chain, OR with a horizontal 2 way hydraulic hoist.
More in next comment.
Very impressive indeed! I wish I could still back b-trains that well, I used impress a lot of old timers. I got to pull b's again 2 years ago....i was so disappointed in myself lol
Your a hell of a b-train backer yourself man, seeing some of your videos like yesh! I cant stand the GTA and you make it look easy.
Thanks for the video. The first truck did a great job, like you often do. I am in New Zealand and drive b tri axles. I am a part time relief. At the end of a shift, we have to back our truck into a park. Between all the other trucks in the fleet. Its a blind side and not a lot of room. Plus, you are tied often dark & raining or middle of day, lots of other trucks & the boss watching. One point you did say is the surface, we are on a slop diagonal to park on to soft grave, when you hit the gravel, the back trailer moves all over the place. Love the videos.
Many years ago had to go into the coastal mountains of British Columbia on a logging road to pick up a load of shake blocks. I was instructed to turn around at such and such marker and back the B train about another !/4 of a mile further up the road because there was not enough room to turn the unit around further up. As I backed up the road became a steep hill with a curve to it requiring a slight bend in the combination.Because of gravity and the bend in the unit the middle [bridge] would start to push away from center line and the only way to correct because the road was quite narrow was to pull forward to straighten the unit. That was not helping because I was then going in the wrong direction. I tried about 6 times and the unit essentially would not track because of the grade and gravity pushing the bridge sideways more than needed and not enough room to correct with the front trailer and tractor. The owner of the shake blocks had his forklift and about 250 feet of heavy rope. When I got as far up the hill before the trailer went goofy we hooked up to the rear trailer. That pull kept the back trailer from pushing out the bridge and got over the hill and onto flat road where the trailers where loaded with shake block pallets. Rest of the trip was uneventful.
I think that aldi vid was australia as you thought. there are a few road train drivers in australia posting videos, not much backing from memory, but driving through very remote parts of australia with red dust dirt roads, crossing creeks without a bridge, once a decade floods, that sort of thing. some are 2 drivers aka 2 up, 1 sleeps, 1 drives. most are single drivers. some good aussie characters.
you can find old dominion drivers backing up a-train sets on youtube, its very impressive. I am just now learning how to back up a pup and a dolly which is pretty much backing up a b train but bit harder with the length of the dolly only being several feet.
6:31 Actually, that truck has a sleeper so thats why you don't see a back window in the cab. And also at 34:11, this video was taken in Australia
I have seen some amazing drivers with B doubles, in Australia. A lot of the tip trucks for road works are like this. The places they get into are a joke. And somehow they jackknife and tip both trailers, in super tight spots. I watched a guy get into a loading dock. Meant for a semi. Straight in, first go. Unloaded back trailer. Gone. He obviously couldn't be bothered to split trailers. Then you get the Road train guys. Pulling mostly three or four trailers. There are exceptions, up to six. But three or four, common. Where they manoeuvre them is beyond belief. Like a big snake squirming in the road. If you spend days at a time in them. And drive tens of thousands of kilometres. You get a lot of practice. Practice makes perfect.
Can't wait.
Quebec driver on top of his game. All that just to run in to grab a pack of smokes.
16:16 Not this guy! LOL
I’ve actually commented on this video before
Super impressive for sure from a fellow Ontario driver
Be awesome to see more super Bs from aussie....
I'm just super stoked to be able to back a travel trailer into a campsite in one take. 😂
Maybe you could show some videos on how to load b trains because of all the newbies out there. Where to put the weight as apposed to axles and pin settings 🤔.
B trains are so cool. Wish they are more common in the US, but with weight laws they don't make much sense here.
wow- rough start. Cleveland here, can relate.
Great video
😁😁👍👍👍👍👍👍🍌jeez! super judgement on this driver! 10 of 10 ......so much in da vid! super duper for double troubles! yup! action weather radar! this is 4 sure a super skill
wow! cool stuff! Bruh! I tink he's in Canada🤣...tough life! rode hard & put-up wet!🌄 really tough maneuver, is polite 4: my brain!🧠just squish it!! triple axle B looked best!🍀
I have days where I just can’t back a b train
It always amazes me just stupidity of drivers in cars.
I AGREE! They are inconsiderate bastards! They SHOULD teach courtesy to truckers in driver's ed as well as their headlight code!
I’m ready. Coffee in hand phone in other.
Hey Matt, I started playing American Truck Simulator specifically to try backing b-train trailers after watching your videos. If you get the chance, I have a ton of backing videos on this youtube channel. All the backing is in cab view, so I'm using the mirrors and all that. I'd say I'm decent. I've improved so much since I started, but I'm far from an expert. It's a super deep skill, really fun challenge. I wish I could try it in real life.
B-train are easy to back up i’ve haul at 11 axle A-train in Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho. You need to try back in one of those up. Flatbeds and belly dumps just saying love you’re videos though keep them coming.
Interesting vid. I've pulled dbls before. Ok, lets not forget that guitar tour. I won't bug you like I did when I wanted to know your trucks name. Be cool-Be safe!!
Still waiting on the graphic myself!!! 😅😅
Hi Matt just letting you know I have watched all your videos and by the way. I ❤ your Peterbelit
Ah very cool thank you for putting the time in to watch silly little me!
For the third video I would've backed all the way up to the wall in my set up and then pulled out towards the driveway he came in on in order to get more of a 45 degree angle rather than the 90 that he did. Hindsight is always 20/20 though and he got it done without hitting anything.
Great job on the commentary, C.T.M. Ace Frehley could make those guitars sing, but he might have a hard time backing a Checker Taxi cab in that driveway.
nice rickenbacker!
The ALDI truck is in Australia and we call them B-Double
Mahlzeit....na jetzt bin ich ja mal gespannt....🙈
So just wanna make a quick correction as I’ve seen some Europeans in here say we don’t have B trains. That is only true for some of central and southern Europe if you go to Scandinavia and Finland you’ll see plenty B trains and even A trains. I drive B trains myself from Denmark to Sweden primarily.
Lot of A-train dirt boxes in Michigan and watching them on job sites can be impressive or funny.
36:30
I see 4 very sharp looking SCANIA tractors with single trailer next to the whit MB ACTROS B-Train
Great great job driver
While Laidlaw did a 1st class job, I'll bet it's far from his first time into that spot. He probably does it once or twice a week, if not nightly. The first time into any place is always more dicey in my experience. Everyone has good days and bad days, no matter how much experience you've got. Best way to learn and understand the concept, with absolutely no risk, is playing with models. Concept is identical, just the scale is larger, but once you've got the concept, scaling up is relatively easy. Farm boys have a head start because they've been playing with the wagons since early on. Trucking schools here in S. Ont have little clue. It's a travesty.
Check out a road train next time. ;)
Check out SLH backing an LCV with a non locking tandem converter dolly
I'm no expert but I think its critical how long you hold your steer wheel in the positions... I noticed that sometimes its held for a split second and other times a bit longer and what axels and distance is he starting his set up? Ive done a little super B but never like that! straight back is hard enough😆 The truck stop you asked about is in Edmonton... Actually Atcheson west of EDM off Hwy 16.
Worked for a company in the Fraser Valley that delivered all over the valley and even into Squamish and Whistler. Company hired a new driver that said he had 2 million miles of driving experience. I trained him for 2 weeks and then went on holidays. Came back. He had quit because it was too difficult a job. We were a small company with 3 drivers but we got the jobs done working in some challenging conditions. I think that is why I did it because it was seldom boring.
That ought a be on a test here in the US.our roads are filled with the worst truckers ever.idiots in trucks I fear for my families life.oh yeah I drive truck!
Great video , maybe not so much stopping and talking,
New subscribers, fellow 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👍🏻🤟🏻
pro
Dang I thought it was ready to go. 2 days from now dang 😅
That's not the first time that Laidlaw has done that
As far as I can tell, and that isn't very far... A-Trains are designed for annoyance rather than benefit.
Probably The Dead South or maybe April Wine?
Hi there good morning
Husky in West Edmonton (Acheson)
That first truck was not a day cab.
Lol it sounds like you’re giving more of an explanation videos rather than a react
Nothin about the first truck was a day cab
One of the ways I taught myself was American Truck Simulator, as it has a nice b-train option. Then you can play all you want without causing any real issues. Plus you can see it from multiple angles.
I play as well, What kind of music do you play ?.
Did a lot of the classic rock and prog stuff in my earlier days, now I’ve gotten into like thrash metal and djent kinda stuff 😅
@@callthemall Sweet, me too for the most part. And some Blues and jazz mixed in. I have a home recording setup here, I write a lot of my own music.
Please explain the difference between an A,B,and C train
Would a cabover not be better for these roads?
Did accident do any damage
What kind of music are you into? Koe Wetzel?
As technical and prog metal as you can get, the crazier the time sig the better!
I was a roadie for Wrathchild which became Souls at zero. The drummer is Shannon Larkin from God Smack. I'm an 80's headbanger. Very eclectic taste from Hymns to metal to hip hop and country.
Can you teach me to drive your truck?
A reaction? This should be interesting.
How to get the leading trailer on a dock explains the following scene: ruclips.net/video/Cu20VdHq3E0/видео.htmlsi=PN7LQFbU5u6nTrkP&t=295
33:13 is either Australia or New Zealand. Sadly we don't have any A or B trains in Europe (at least to my knowledge, they certainly don't exist in the UK). The only train setups we have are box trucks with either a draw bar or more commonly a trailer and dolly like you saw with the A train at the end.
Why are they even called B-Trains?
A-trains have the fifth wheel mounted on a dolly, b-trains have the fifth wheel mounted on the lead trailer
@@callthemalllove your videos. I used to run A-trains in Michigan. I’ve only done it once, but I did a blind side hard-90 with my trains and never pulled forward. I think I just got lucky 🍀 but I do have 20yrs behind the wheel 🤙
I love watching your videos. But this one made me furious. Let the backing up videos play and comment it while watching. Play, pause, play, pause. I stopped watching you after 5minutes 😡
