American Truck Simulator - How to back up a trailer pt. 2

- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2016
- Tired of taking the "Easy option" at ZERO exp? This is a supplement to part 1. In the first video, we went over parking in tight quarters. In this video, it is more of a basic approach, with some tips from a gaming standpoint, that should help you get these things parked!
To whom this concerns; I wish you could see the gratitude and expression on my face right now! I've been trying now for three months to get backing up a tractor trailer, I pretty much gave up, until this morning - I decided to try again, so I accidentally found this video, and watched it, and then again.... This tutorial is spectacular, and helped me understand, at the very least, the light bulb finally came on!! Thank you for this awesome tutorial!!!!!
When you turned your wheels to the right, your trailer went to the left. When you turn your wheels to the left, your trailer went to the right. Remember, your trailer will go the OPPOSITE direction the way you turn your wheels
!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a WONDERFUL tutorial, First Crew! Very well done and you really went into great detail with all steps. Thank you very much for the effort you put into this!
Thanks for all the tips. I've tried to play so many times and always got discouraged, but this time I found your video and I was able to park the trailer in 1 minute when before I struggled for over 10 minutes and gave up. Seriously, Thank You!
Thanks solely to you and your vids I now never choose the easy parking. Your demonstration and explanation is spot on.
You helped me so much! I've been able to back trailers up for 3 months now! Thank you so much
😂 me to
I love playing this game thanks for sharing this! I have Euro truck sim as well but the American Truck Sim touches home cause one I live in AZ and love seeing how ATS did a awesome job with Arizona. Plus I am considering on getting my CDL so I can do this job instead of the retail rut job I am in.
thank you very much sr. I spend around 20 minutes trying to park in medium dificulty and quit, I'll study your video to try to get all hard parkings 😊... tx again!
Hopefully it helped.
this is probably the most helpful serieson backing that I have seen, good job
Thank ya, sir!
@Hello John Culbreth, How are you doing?
love it I needed this to step up my backing game in the real world. no matter what anyone says, if you matter this game it'll help understand the concept in real life and it takes away the confusion and second guessing, especially when others are watching.

Hey man, hope life has been treating you well. Thank you for this video series. I'd love to see you finish off the instructional series if you have time since your videos have been the most informative, and easy to follow. Thanks again for all the help!
I have already got the hang of it from your last video but this helped me for some of the more difficult ones.
Another amazing video I've watched another one of yours and it helps me a lot
Glad to hear it!
The First Crew thanks again I still have trouble with the Walmart drop where you pull in and immediately go left and have to park against the building
Im getting ready for cdl driving school and this video is heaven sent. Ty so much. I have this game so u can bet i will be practicing my skills lol
I love the tutorial videos on backing up on different and difficult angles
Good work man.Good teacher.Keep it up MAN.
Thanks!
You are an awesome teacher!
+enerdhil Thanks. :)
Wow! this is really a Great video for the Beginners. Although I am not a beginner but I really didn't get the right technique or maneuver to back up properly coz during the training in driving school, the Instructors don't really go in minute details coz the school want the Instructors to just get the students pass the Road test. So, we just follow exactly how we are spoon fed. Thanks again for a simple and easy to follow video.
Tenzin Woeser merely a simple basic physics, don’t see it as too complicated
That was great job and skilled videos thanks my man
You are so smart... Very Easy to learn from..Thank you
Hey dude you make it look complicated, I've barely been driving real life truck for few months now and especially in ats it's not that hard to get in and out of a tight spot, but I think it's good having this kinda tutorials for people that don't know how to do it, keep up the good work
I made it look complicated on purpose. If I just knock it out, nobody will learn anything.
The First Crew Yup that's true though, and you did a good job
Thx.
Factz
@@thefirstcrew4194 I tried the next day and improved by over 200% .... How do you get the 3rd person camera to rotate all around the truck? Thanks so much for these gifts of Gold!
I deal with single trailer movements all the time lately and I will learn the dynamics of maneuvering a B double combination. That second trailer has more scope to go out of sight from the cab
So I watched your video last night and applied it to my drop off in this game and it helped a lot thanks
You're welcome!
Thank you! As long as the tool is too easy, overcomplicating things is what left to present the useful info!
I have tried to back the trailer up to the docks in first person view but the mirror is so far away that I am forced to go into 3ed person view. I drove over the road for 6 years Setup has always been the hardest thing for me and I have been in some pretty tight spots that I almost didn't get out of ! I appreciate you showing these guys the basics. I hope they appreciate your knowledge !
I appreciate what you're doing. Thank you. You're the Greatest!
Right back at ya!

When I was in the military we had shooting range, and 88m truck driving simulators (which were both sooooo much fun but I digress lol) I think trucking schools should invest in simulators. Our AIT trucking simulator put us in real life driving situations. I think it would greatly help with backing for new truckers. Bc of course backing is the hardest part for most.
You are very good. Thank you!
Great job!
very good thanks for the illustration
lmao, best part of this video is the "hey no offense but...try doing this blindside with no hours and empty stomach and a full bladder" supertrucker comments. listen to the damn video. great video btw.
Marash Kola
No hours and full bladder 🙇🏻♂️
Time to use emergency flashers 🤣🤣🤣
Ya he is amaiing. I have been drivivng for 31 years and I am so glad he is out there to teach me new things..
Wonder what he could tell me when we had n cell phones
OMG I AM LMFO..
@@jeffreyomier7836 I got backon the road last year. In my days a driver dod not run out of hours, LOL A truck stop sold all the hours wee needed lol.
Good stuff, keep it up!
+Paizon Ryker Thanks, man! I will.
thank you my friend
you are a good teacher
Excellent video....great algorithm.
OMFG PMSL :):) great tips mate !
my dad drive truck my whole life i evn went with him on the road harder then it looks,.... and iv never drive an 18 wheeler but i have backed up plenty of trailers in my time..... the most exciting prt of this game is backing em up....
I agree! Thanks for the reply.
Cool video im studying to get my CDL. Nice Kenworth
For realism players like me, I use the 3rd person camera to simulate getting out and looking. Then continue to back up in the cab view.
I agree with that. However, this is a tutorial. I can't show people stuff from the cab. I have a few let's plays where it's all done in first person.
mee too,cause in real life u wont have that view only view is in the cab and as u said getting out and look but backing up its in the cab, and fagviano does that check him out I thnki it jack fagviano it is
@@jowidejongh2648 Jeff Favignano
@@thefirstcrew4194 you could have used walk around mod
It's sad you dont continue an instructional series. I'd definitely watch it, it would be great to know more theoretical stuff about trucks. Hope you'll do it eventually :)
I will. Problem is work went balls to the wall lately.
The First Crew hope you'll find some time soon :)
But you know half of the things he says is wrong
Nice work this helps
Whe you were dropping in the yard with the blindside. With that much room it's easiest to pull past the parking area until your landing gear is lined up. Then crank hard left, essentially doing about 75% of a u-turn. The back of your trailer will be lined up with the spot and you can do a straight back.
hey, could you do a few examples with the articulated trailers from the heavy cargo dlc pack? I'm really having a hard time parking those.
Im just starting out. Thank you so much. 👍
Done some truckin myself...good job there bro. If that trailer was fully loaded those tyres would have popped hehe. Useful vid tho, thanks.
what system are you running and where can I get this simulator you make it look easy and fun cool vids need more.
Nice video. I usually use 3rd person view. I will try to do the whole thing from the driver's seat. I see some RUclipsrs do that.
How did you park it on the dock being a tight space I like to see it .
That's awesome... thanks
cool vid... definitely gonna use it to my advantage... keep em up man..
+C Lo Steam Will do. Glad you liked it. Hope it helps.
Yeah man... finally found someone a little more down to earth so to speak in the RUclips thing... lol... keep it up and I see this going places
Thanks for the kind words. I have big plans for the channel, and I am wide open to suggestions too.
TBH I couldn't tell you... I have watched a lot of vids but never made my own so no clue... I did wanna start but I just got my rig and it's using a shitty cpu so no go for now
C Lo Steam
Okay. Well, if you think of anything in the future, drop me a line!
Handy dandy! Thanks!
+joeltb You're welcome. :)
Thank you so much!
How different is a pickup truck and 5th wheel trailer, just cab clearance? Any vids with a pickup and 5th wheel? Any sims for that? Awesome videos BTW!
@Hello Dean Desmarais, How are you doing?
Backing the trailers that the game sticks you with, that have the tandems all the way to the rear, THOSE are a nightmare. The thing just refuses to turn.
And playing this game, I do stay in the cab, driving it like a real truck. I also do the "GOAL" by stopping poppin the brakes and using 2 to pan around, since we cant get out of the truck.
Also, how would you get out of that spot if there were 53' trailers beside you? There is a Walbert DC in Sacramento in this game, that has very short headroom to pull out. I picked a job that was sammiched between to 53s......I was like, and you expect me to get out of here how!? Then to complete the nightmare, there was a friggin light pole in the way. Yes, I smacked the fence, I pussed out and just restarted and took a different job haha.
I wouldn't want to turn always wide as if it might stretch out the air lines
Good job buddy on designing this video! What app did you use to do that?
Thanks dude the reasons
I’m gonna go get my CDL now thank you
Jesus, I've been driving a year and don't think I'd want to do a real life version of that first yard with a sleeper!
LOL. Good to see a trucker that can admit the truth!
FirebirdCamaro1220 after a year of driving, I'd BETTER get that done right.
Thats pretty sad lol, its really waaaaay easier than he made it seem, you can get out of there in one solid motion, he just didnt do it right
In the World, a blind side backing is very difficult , you just cant see anything.
Turn left to turn right and right to turn left easy
I recommend you all try out Scania Truck Simulator. It's made by SCS but it's made for practicing parking and all kinds of tough situations. It's a lot of fun too.
I noticed your air supply lines are not attached, would you still be able to jack knife the trailer like this In confined spaces? This don’t look like it would work in a realistic scenario IMO
I want that game
I didn't see any info about the software used in the video in the description what is it called?
Being a truck driver, this was the most frustrating thing I’ve ever watched.
Maybe you shouldn't be watching backing tutorials for a video game then.
@@GodprefersDiesels I just so happened to stumble across it and decided to watch it.
Cool game and video where can I purchase a copy?
My problem is the trailer doesn't back in the direction I want it to go. no matter which arrow key I press left or right it just goes in the same direction.
Isn't backing a little harder from inside the cab and real world consequences for hitting anything?
thanks to you
Keep up making the series, is very interresting. You seem to know a bit about trucks, do or have you worked with them? Got curious ;)
+lurvenlove I will. Thank you. Glad you think so.
I used to work on them. Thank God I've gotten away from that, lol. At the time, I was on call 24/7 for $9.00 per hour. Screw that. I also worked on them in the Marine Corps. There were some differences here and there, but the gist was the same.
Where can I buy this game! Lol i need this set up for the holidays 🎉
Nice
god damn you made that look hard
Yeah...that was kind of the point.
In Eurotruck I can do this no problem with one hand tied to my back and both eyes closed, but in American Truck I just can't even get close to a halfassed parking job, I even had to turn off air breaks cause I ended up deplesting the tanks three times per try
Thank you cool man..
It be cool if this was optional for your cdl test.
Great do they have this for PS4 my students would love this
I tried looking for that game on my iPhone XR what’s the name of it beside American truck simulator? I know they’re different ones but which one is the one on here that you’re showing us? Please respond back thanks
New Subscriber ~~ Yes, that truck is better looking than the green one (previous video). LOL
@Hello Larry Fick, How are you doing?
Thanks
I drove a flatbed for 4 months and I never have to go backwards so I never learned 😁
wait, dont you need a license to level up for flatbed loads?
@@japhetanciado7999 yes everyone need a CDL license, but in school you don't receive a lot of practice backing the semi truck and once you are in the road you drive forward all the time
@@juanmontenegro2025 U didn't park at truck stops?
I don’t believe it
@@benjamingollan4746 it’s true. Flat beds rarely back into places.
I don't even drive trucks, But I find it easy to back up the trailer....
I bought this game on steam I'm a truck driver and I can back up perfectly in a real life situation but this game completely stumps me when it comes to backing up
justenmatthew dead ass I dont watch so many fucking videos and did exactly that
justenmatthew hey what is the name of the game???
tony snow american truck simulator
Real life trucker aswell... Backing up is hard because you cant see like you would in real life. It´s much harder to determine distances and depth in this game compared to real life.
Are u using a steering wheel or keyboard, cuz keyboards are tricky, my favourite thing to do with a steering wheel in the cab is hold the wheel at the 6 o'clock angle (the bottom) and turn the wheel in the direction I want the trailer to go, it basically reverses the direction of your truck when you back up, meaning that the trailer will cooperate (THE TRUCK PUSHES THE TRAILER WITH THE 5TH WHEEL IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION)
you should always try to straight line back if you can, if you can then it's your right hand side and if all fails back to your left hand side and that's called blind side back
I am aware of that. This tutorial illustrates how maneuverable these trucks are. If I showed backing up after straightening out for half a mile, what would that teach anyone? How would they conquer the difficult spots in the game, where there is no room to straighten up? This video is for helping people that don't do this for a living back up in a video game. This is not for real life. Although the physics do apply.
Thanks.
ok I will try thanks
hey vatos,he is just giving us some tips
If the air hoses were on their they would be starched to the max trying to get out of the first spot
Wish you still did videos they very good youtube content
What type of game controller are you using?
@Hello Jeff Slocum, How are you doing?
Now you need to back in double/triple trailer when the dlc comes out.
Lol they don't let you.
Nice where can I get this similator
4:41. 😂 so funny
Very interesting good explanations. may I ask - as a relative new player to the original Euro Truck Sim, what would be the most appropriate next step - in other words, what is the best truck sim at present?
Thanks if you have time to answer.
Mike from Ireland
it's a preference thing. keep playing with different tractors until you find one you like. my friend prefers cabovers, vs my Classic long hood.
Thank you for answering. I think I mis-worded my question, entirely my fault; I meant to ask what was the next best truck sim game, as I have been playing the original ETS on and off for many years, (mostly without much interest), but now, at the ripe old age of 60 I have suddenly become much more interested and have gone and bought a Thrustmaster F430 games wheel and a TrackHat eye tracking system (who would have thought I would do this!). Don't know if ETS 2 or ATS 2016 would be better. I have also now got Train Sim 2016 and an Xbox 360 PC controller and am considering looking at Flight Sim with a possible joystick controller!! Got to keep occupied and the mind working as I am not in good health at the moment.
Cheers, all the best.
It might be best for you to research the two. They are both good. ETS2 is more fleshed out, with more mods. But the cities are all cookie-cutter. ATS feels more immersive. Also, if you are from the USA, the roads in ETS2 are laid out poorly in comparison to ATS. Lanes that just end, stoplights on the wrong side of the intersection, etc.
Great
how come your air hoses aren't hooked up?
How to back those articul6 triple trailers man??
Great vid! Get my sim for Christmas. What add-ons will I need to get best game play?
Dennis Byrd Everything by Jazzycat for starters.
lol what happened at 25:29??? trailer heading towards spot then suddenly the video cuts to it being in the spot.
Oh my gosh ! How many years have you been driving ,you should have a school to teach rookies like me .
