I Detected old-school trucking when i saw that OTHER trucker blocking traffic so you could back up... This gives me hope that a small fraction of truckers is holding on to traditional values.
gotta say, it was really awesome to see that.. he got out of his truck to spot and everything. what a bro. i feel like i'm playing a virtual pool game every time i see callthemall's backing videos. geometric mastery (with danger!)! you're one cool dude callthemall, nice driving. the nerd side of me watching this video tells me there's money to be made in developing a software that tells the driver what steering to use to back a b train either based on cameras or just sensor on the trailers and truck...
It's awesome! For me I was parked at a random truckstop and I noticed a truck was trying to back into the spot next to me, the driver in question had a reefer and it was an awkward way to get into the spot next to me so I got on the CB and helped the guy back into the spot next to me, luckily it was an open spot to my left so I got his blind side covered and I helped him back in safely. Next part was that after the guy cleared it and backed in beautifully I continued to lookout for him because he wanted to back up as close as he can so that he doesn't hit the fence but leave plenty of room for other drivers to maneuver in and out of park spots. The driver thanked me and as I was about to do my paperwork (filling out the complete delivery form for my employer so I can get paid.) another old school trucker got on the radio and said that I was an awesome guy to help other drivers out as it is rare for other drivers to help another out like that. It broke my heart a bit because my trainer told me that back then for other truckers, everyone respects eachother and would help eachother out here and there everywhere. But, at the same time I'm happy because I helped someone and that there are other drivers out there like the myself and the guy in the video helping this awesome guy back his B-Train doubles into the job site.
man you mus b da only one in the states can back btrains 1motion as well i use to pull btrains an reversing them easy ayy mate im from New Zealand 👍👍👍👍
I've never backed a double like this, so I won't pretend to know how, but I back singles every day, and he seems to have the key. Slow and steady is the ticket. I can't imagine having to do it for a damn mile, though. Especially on an ole random county road!
Regular semis with single trailer is easy. Like really easy. Then there are those who pull full trailers, like me, or B-trains. Those B-trains are hard. Especially in the beginning, but those few who don't give up tend to become masters of their craft. Then there are those fuckers, mainly Finns and Swedes, at least over here, that pull a regular semi trailer, then a dolly with anotehr semi trailer attached to it. Even seen a rigid truck pull a B-train. So basically truck, dolly, trailer with fifth wheel then another trailer. Only seen one of the latter and that was a wood chip truck.
@tntfreddan3138 I was extremely surprised how easy a 40' trailer was to back. I was super nervous about it, but it's really easier than short (12-16') trailer once you get the feel for them. Would have never thought it by looking at them.
You've got a long way to go before you drive forward or back up as much as I have in 25 years, 😂. But with the jokes aside, you are like a surgeon with a scalpel running that B train. Stay safe brother
I'm in my 46th year driving, 11 months to go and I'm done.. I've never pulled trains of any kind..I appreciate your skills, attitude and calmness about the job and situations you have been in.. that's what keeps you out of trouble.. safe travels young man!
I would absolutely love to talk to you and hear stories, if you were up to it. Long term drivers are some of my favorite people to chat with, and I don't think i've spoken to anyone with more than 30 or so years besides short haul dedicated drivers.
@@curtisrodin1268 yeah I guess.. I've never pulled doubles of any kind.. I've never steered away from it, just the jobs I've had over the years doubles were never part of the fleet
Very, very impressive backing, especially the 1st tight turn in and the "lapse" correction. I've backed trailers (no doubles) on cars, trucks and semis forever and that was good to watch.
wow im not a truck driver yet but im really impressed , i live in New Zealand and im 50 years old and im just starting my trucking career and if im half as good as you ill be happy, you're a bloody legend, its watching people like you that made me decide to give it a go, thanks mate and love your videos
Props to you Glen. Never stop learning (or practicing). I also am a late starter (I was 46 when I got my HR license - now MC). It's a pity all the Covid permits and mandates are screwing with the industry here in Australia.
He single-handedly drove that whale of a truck backwards better than I’ve seen some people driving forward 💀 mad respect to these kind of truckers out there
Some people (Average Joe pickup + trailer) might be better backing this up than a regular trailer because they are always turning the wheel the wrong way anyway.
It's easy, if one wants a b train trailer left u turn the steering wheel left, regular trailer going left u turn the opposite direction. Not a big deal.
Hats off to you, great skills. For your next big thrill have you ever tried two hay wagons with steer axles on the front? I have never seen that yet, but I bet you could do it.
@@danfarris135 it's hard to do one of those suckers. I can't imagine two. I have a rake/baler combo. I have finally mastered backing that into the barn. The tough part is baler has a fairly short tongue so easy to over steer when backing.
Come to Australia.....we back them into finger docks,and when we're bored,we add extra trailers Always good to watch drivers working together nice work
Wow, very impressive! And I'm still struggling with backing up just one trailer. Concentration is a must, indeed. Luckily I have quite some hours to go, learning trailer back up basics in trailer class, and my truck simulators with steering wheel to practice at home. Above all, I'm looking forward to honing that skill in real life, after I acquired the trailer basics and passed my driving test with it. I realy like your channel, and down to earth attitude. Thx! Have a great weekend! Greetings from The Netherlands.
I do this for a living in Australia, my B-Double is standard at 26m (85.3ft) sometimes we also have a dolly in between the first and second trailer which then at 36.5m (119-120ft), it gets a little bit more tricky then as you have an extra pivot/articulation point. Either way, good job, long reversals can be tedious. When sticking to the edge of the asphalt as you did, it definitely helps to use it as a guide when backing up. 👍
Guys up here in MI back up gravel trains all the time. Usually down some tight half torn up road. Nicely done man. I always enjoy watching someone who knows hoe to do their job.
I like your title. When people compliment my backing, I always say humbly "Hey I take credit for nothing. I've just spent most of my life backing my way out of shit I got myself into" 🍺
I drove in the oil field for a few years and once a week had to drive B-trains. I only had to back it up twice the length of the truck and it never was as easy as you made that look. Well done sir.
I love hearing truckers brag that they’ve got “more miles in reverse” than I do going forward. That just confirms that whatever else they say from them on is pure bologna. 😆 But this guy did very well backing up! 👏👍
Never backed doubles, but the second I heard someone say it wasn't possible, I started working it out in my mind and this is EXACTLY how i imagined it would go down. Your skills are second only to your pearly whites and flowing locks! Seriously though, solid f#ckin' job, bruh!
First time watching your blog n I'm blown away/ stunned by your impressive backing of this b-train, honestly I'm thrilled n from now on you've got me hooked, so thnx a Million for sharing same.
I used to work for a towing company. Sometimes you would tow a tractor trailer together. The owner hated for you to wear out the clutch. He would always yell, "Let the clutch out and steer the M=m#$%r fu%#*%$r!" That's what you were doing. I watched your steering wheel and I couldn't see what you were correcting for. It's easy to over correct. Great job.
I've hauled B Train gas tankers. I can back them up as well. But how humiliated were you the 1st time? The fact that you didn't give up the 1st or 2nd time is testament to your stubborn determination to get good at it. 👍👍
Damit! Okay then good backing skills indeed! Pulled doubles powder train never had to back this far. As you showed takes practice and patience to be successful. #keepontruckin 🇺🇸💪👍🏼
You’d be the dude who would rock up to an airport and start flying a helicopter without any lessons or reading the manual!!! That was really impressive 🙏🏻
Must have been for a new farmer that doesn't take "how do we get it out" into account. That was some bloody sweet reversing mate, skills to pay the bills.
okay crazy lol that's some mad skills man. I mean sure iIm not a truck driver but i do pull bumper pull trailers and the idea is pretty simple in this instance right is right and left it left though maybe a bit delayedi-sh. so the fact that your going so fast and keeping your wits about you on staying under is pretty freaking awesome!
There are plenty of people that wouldn’t even be able to make that initial turn in past the construction signs… even while driving there minivans forward! You killed it, man!!!!
Thank you for your videos! I drive b trains(private property) and had to learn on my own for the most part, or with the exception of calling friends on how to's. Late nights I would watch videos and you by far are the most helpful. I've learned a lot from you and it's helped me so much to understand things. Since then I now have my license, and I've even suggested to others to watch your videos as a good reference. Thank you!
I own 2 Pete's and I have a super long which is a pain sometimes I have only pulled doubles 3times in my 8years of owning my trucks. Only reason I pulled doubles then was something we created in the shop. My hats off to you buddy that was smooth as glass, keep it up hot shot.
Stellar job hand. Call the mullet…just being a joker. Get that CATS overhead run. She’s due since the rebuild. Thanks for the videos you do great job 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Dang son!!! You are insanely skilled at backing super-Bs. I can accomplish the same as you, but not in one shot. You are incredible bro! 🤘 Drive safe, my friend.
Paw paw was an old trucker and he taught me how to back up trailers. Now I’ll never be as good as he or most of your professionals but I can sure take a 49’ fifth wheel or a 10’ bumper pull (so much harder!) and out then where they are needed no problem!
My youngest brother has been drive trains for ~15 years. I’ve been his passenger a couple times and been in the cab when he backed up a couple hundred yards in the pits. It is a skill for sure.
I was backing B's 40 years ago, mostly because I could and the other guys couldn't, When I was shunting I'd often have drivers asking me to back their trailers into a dock for them. So when I see a young guy driving B's down the road backwards, it's awesome impressive and damned fun to watch.
Used to pull gravel trains, most other drivers up in Michigan couldn’t back up for their life. Took them ages to line up the trailer. It’s all about small movements, catch the pup before she even moves to the left or right.
Mate nice job it’s an Art in its self & to be able to back them round corners & keep them going straight it takes a lot of concentration and timing. 👍I been driving B Doubles for 25 years & now I am driving Quads
Most people, even some truckers, don't realize what it takes to back doubles. In a regular vehicle you turn the steering wheel the direction you want the back of the vehicle to go when backing. In a regular truck and trailer you turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction you want the trailer to go. It takes a while to get used to that. But to back doubles you once again turn the steering wheel the direction you want that last trailer to go. It's confusing and tricky. Very impressive. I hauled doubles for a short time in my over 3 decades of driving. But not long enough to get this good at backing them. Well done!
Drop ur pup 🤣🤣 doesn't know your skills m8 💯 your are a world class driver of doubles some mighty fine driving there my fellow trucker.👍 Stay safe and as always keep her between the ditches and the shit out yee britches lad BIG 10/4...
Watched this video & "SUBSCRIBED" immediately! I've driven lots of semi but never with a B. Now I just drive my Jimmy with a 43' 5th wheel RV. I still have fun!
There is not enough marihuana in the world the keep me calmed while doing this. You were given a weird superpower but a superpower nonetheless, kudos man.
For a young man you do have skill. No questions about it. My father drove a 18 feet body truck. Some days he done 3 runs down the coast. 3,000 feet drop in 7 miles. Lots of tight corners and one Hair Pin bend 180 degree. Semi trailers, 18 wheeler, comming the other way. They often ended with the prime mover behind and trailer in front of dads truck. Then have to manover out of it. Not one accident. Dad worked 18 to 20 hour days for 11 years,

I never drove a B train but at 12 years old I backed many wagon loads of hay into the barn, farm kids are often allowed to try anything
Hey what's the 20 on "old school trucking"? Haven't seen that shit in a minute 🍺
Once again backing around a corner is gnarly but to keep it straight is truly graceful

You got plenty of backing up especially with b trains and the places you go bud. Got skills and talent can't be taught

And people wonder why there is a high range in reverse, now they know
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Are you serious, going 2nd or 3rd with a double?
What I was gona say
I'm willing to bet most drivers don't know the transmission will go in to high range in reverse
@@garyebelhar7949 wat are you betting

Hey man, that is art.
If that doesn’t make you a great driver, I don’t know what does.
I like it when people have and take pride in their work and abilities
He single-handedly drove that whale of a truck backwards better than I’ve seen some people driving forward 💀 mad respect to these kind of truckers out there
Watching you back is like watching Bob Ross paint, you think its easy till you try it
kinda funny and definitely true!
Some people (Average Joe pickup + trailer) might be better backing this up than a regular trailer because they are always turning the wheel the wrong way anyway.
🤣🤣
You must have been watching me back up.
It's easy, if one wants a b train trailer left u turn the steering wheel left, regular trailer going left u turn the opposite direction. Not a big deal.

True artists come in all occupations. They have realized that practice makes perfect if they just don't get in a hurry... Great job!
Jeeeez! I can't even back up my boat trailer in one go! Amazing skills.
It's a great skill to have , you keep calm and don't rush it . Love to watch you with these B -Trains.Great job .👍
Wish we ran b trains in Texas. I think they’d look awfully nice behind my 359
Wow, very impressive!

Incredible piece of driving my man! Ya make it look easy.👍😎
That corner was perfection...kudos to the other rig who blocked traffic while you navigated it.

Pretty impressive reversing skills. You also gotta appreciate the farmers backing up multiple hopper wagons. So man pivot points.
Ohhhhhh YEAH!!
Well done. The hat is way off.
The turn in off the main road was a thing of beauty.
I always find it very enjoyable watching a master at his trade!!
Excellent job backing down that road.👍👌🏆🏁
Great job...you are a machine!
thats some impressive driving you do with those double flatbeds. wish you the best and stay safe!
And I thought I could drive a truck through hell on the 4th of July !! If only some driver's had half your talent !! A true trucker!!

Yep got er done last February 👍
I've pulled a lot of big loads , but never trains. Hats off bro! Nice works.
That's driving! I watched every second of this video.
HOLY CRAP 😯 You ARE FREAKING AMAZING & TALENTED🤩🤩🤩
I can confirm as a bus driver, you backed up B-trains more than I’ve ever driven them forward 😂. Good work there 👌🏽

Back home, we call them interlink.... perfect video 👍👏
The most I've ever backed up a B-train in one go was 250m. You're definitely a king of the road.

Most people, even some truckers, don't realize what it takes to back doubles. In a regular vehicle you turn the steering wheel the direction you want the back of the vehicle to go when backing.

Greetings from Ciudad de México.
Backing doubles is a whole other level of skill.
Holy smokes, how did you get it so close to that cone going around the corner, nevermind keeping it straight
For a young man you do have skill. No questions about it.
My father drove a 18 feet body truck. Some days he done 3 runs down the coast. 3,000 feet drop in 7 miles. Lots of tight corners and one Hair Pin bend 180 degree. Semi trailers, 18 wheeler, comming the other way. They often ended with the prime mover behind and trailer in front of dads truck. Then have to manover out of it. Not one accident. Dad worked 18 to 20 hour days for 11 years,
It's really hard backing them long boys, u got it down to a fine art...
