    This is pretty good advice. But it really depends on how much room you have in front of you that determines the EASIEST angle.

      Go to 10 or 10:30 then ...before you go to left 9..sets the same angle with less space...also 2 and a half spots is too far to go past your hole ..only go past to the end of one extra with your left shoulder... takes less room and sets the same angle...back up on front wheels straight and wait for tandems to slowly pivot, then hold a hard left to the hole.... finish with tractor wheels straight you're home.

      One of you really wants the hard part.
      One of you can't find his hard part (presumably because it's in a Volvo)
      The other wants to get it on the hole if it's hard or not.

  • @anthony50864

    It won't work out for everyone because the wheelbase lengths aren't the same for every truck and the trailer axles are set in various positions.

    • @Hood_Trucker
      @Hood_Trucker 6 месяцев назад +1

      It won’t work out for everyone because every backing situation is different.
      You may not have the space to reach 9 o’clock on your first turn.

    Why the unnecessary step of lining your shoulder up with the parking spot if you were just going to use the 2 and a half trailers as a reference point to begin putting angle in your trailer? 🤔

    • @djtblizzle
      @djtblizzle 4 месяца назад

      You stop midway between your destination spot to make sure that the trailers on the left and right are completely in their lanes. If you use your shoulder, you’re pretty much dead center, and won’t be thrown off by viewing from a bad perspective.

    just to confirm you went down 2 and a half spots because you did not have enough room on the dock side? If you had more room on the dock side you would have just drove 1 spot and then did 12 o’clock then 9 oclock?

    That’s wrong my guy. you have your shoulder at the middle of the park NEXT TO the one you want to back in, and then you do your hard turns. 2 and a half trailers will have have you overshoot the park by a long shot

    Why you backing from the side when you could have pulled up in front of that spot and got truck and trailer almost straight. Your backing from a side angle with a blind spot on your right. Asking for trouble. Never do a side back unless you have zero chance of any other.
