How are you aiming for it I tried that and end up drifting out the course from the blind side because I kept paying attention to the driver side mirror
Looks very familiar - My trainer insists on me doing this at night because most of my runs will be at night and I’ve never driven anything bigger than a small van - thanks for the video ❤
I’m sure you will do well. Slow and easy. Always know what’s behind you and keep an eye on the front of the truck too, especially when turning to ensure your truck is clear of any obstacles. Don’t forget “GOAL”, Get Out And Look. Don’t know how that will apply to your test, but, in real life, better safe than sorry. Good luck.
On my second day. Just stay patient folks. It is different from the sprinters by a lot lol. Docks are not even usually..... Those bumpers are great . Great video
Well she needs to turn the wheel hard right in order to go left so as a teacher I could see how you would say hard right in order to instruct someone to turn hard left backing up bc your speaking in terms of giving your student instructions.
You were thinking as if she was driving a tractor trailer instead of a straight truck.. I knew why you were saying hard right.. My first thought was that you were a trucker at some point of your life..
They do, and from experience I drive a Ford focus with a back up camera as my daily driver and drive a truck like this 5 days a week for work the back up camera on these bigger guys are only really helpful once you are stright and to figure out how close to the dock you are. Mirrors and your own eyes are your best friend, beats a camera almost anyday. Also we frequently drive in highways and snowy roads in winter so the camera is covered, so sure the vehicle has one but if it's all you rely on how are you going to get by if it's unavailable from time to time.
if you need a backup camera to back up, you shouldn't be driving because it shows you have zero awareness of where your vehicle is in relation to obstacles.
This parking is very easy for me.hehehehe.even in my first attempt when I get my license.when I park perfect in first attempt the officer told me.thats enough no need the other parking
26 foot if I remember right. Automatic transmission. I don’t remember if it had air brakes. Carrie did not use this truck for her CDL training. West Michigan CDL has an automatic with air brakes that she used.
ludi miloje This was my wife’s first time driving a straight truck. Her first experience driving anything larger than a passenger van. The reason I recorded it was to show her how she was doing. I posted on RUclips to share with friends and family. This may give help and encouragement to others. I think she did a great job and she continues to do so in our new careers. Thank you.
This was her first experience driving a truck. She drove a 15 passenger van in the past, this was the largest vehicle she had ever driven. I believe she did extremely well here.
Whatis What - Get Out And Look, that way you don't become complacent. This is called training. Not everything you are taught in life, you will end up using, but it is good to know.
The easiest way is to Aim the driver side corner CLOSER to the driver side boundary. Give yourself the extra space on the blind side.

You need to turn your phone sideways for landscape. As far as the left / right thing. You’re on your own LOL 😂
Thanks for the information. I'll definitely do that next time.

I kept saying hard right. What was I thinking?

It's a trucker thing 💯💯💯
You having a Opposite Day lol 😂😂
I cant lie and say i kept yelling at the screen yelling "HARD LEFT!!" Lol! Definitely was thinking a tractor trailer!
She must have been much more relaxed with you then an instructor since she’s your wife. I hope when I try I’ll be able to get it as fast as she did.
except he doesn't know the difference between left and right
I do this blindside into crappy driveways from narrow streets without even stopping to think. Just second nature.
They have back up cameras on a Prius why not on these!?

Buddy you belong in the front of the truck! She can see to China in that drivers side mirror! Guide from the front passenger side
Nice
Were those air brakes beeping nonstop ?
Too easy for me. Gonna get dz licance
My dreams someday
if I drive straight truck can I upgrade to CDL a trucks ?
Yep I upgraded to A. Trailer is a whole different beast.
How do you back up a gay truck?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This parking is very easy for me.hehehehe.even in my first attempt when I get my license.when I park perfect in first attempt the officer told me.thats enough no need the other parking
What kind of truck is that and did you use that for the full cdl test?
26 foot if I remember right. Automatic transmission. I don’t remember if it had air brakes. Carrie did not use this truck for her CDL training. West Michigan CDL has an automatic with air brakes that she used.
@@michaelsanborn8571 Off course it had air breaks. You can hear it.
@@alexcruz7719 you are correct Alex, you can hear the air brakes. It’s been awhile so I really couldn’t remember. Good catch. Thanks.
@@michaelsanborn8571 No prob, Sr.
I'am sure you had more things to do when you posted that than me when I was watching it.
So was this for the class C test? Or B?
I dont know how American's have hard time parking straight trucks. They park semi's a lot faster and better but straight trucks are a lot easier.

Michael Sanborn - Cross Country Expediters exactly, everyones an expert on youtube, referring to the commenter above.
This is why you should let your ego go smh
Lol
How can you not drive a 26ft box truck 🥴 I back tractor trailer in like nothing
This was her first experience driving a truck. She drove a 15 passenger van in the past, this was the largest vehicle she had ever driven. I believe she did extremely well here.
I drive both, to me it's harder backing a 26 straight truck than a 53 semi
Terrible instructor. Goals? No one does this unless it's tight parking with objects around.
No one will get out an look? Interesting comment. I see it quite often, we do it quite often. Always best to be safe.
@@michaelsanborn8571 ur not going to do it all the time especially in that situation.

Dumbass its her responsibility not him LOL
Delete this video, thats a hard left!
Not going to delete the video, but yes, I know it’s a hard left. Why did I say right? I have no idea. Thank you for watching.
