I honestly do not care who you drive for, I respect anyone that takes one of these rigs down the road. Without you, we do not move forward. Always, give the man/lady driving that truck the respect and distance they need to get from A to B safely.
Thank you. Wish all drivers would be considerate as you. I don’t think many drivers know how much room we need to stop. But they keep cutting us off, or slamming their breaks to give another car the right away.
Same here and I always do. I even wave at them when safe to do so my way of saying thank u for what u do
Kinda scared of SWIFT drivers...

This is what swift stands for
Early in my trucking career I did some long haul work. But you only back up a trailer once every 3 or 4 days. It was always embarrassing. Then I got a job as a city P&D driver. Now I was backing up 15 to 20 times per day. That's when you really start to get the hang of it. Practice makes perfect.
A lot to be said about this. I dunno why, I got my cdl's in 2011, couldn't get hired in any job until 2013 as a yard dog. Bad luck I guess, I put in applications every weekend (didn't have internet at home). But as a yard dog, I mastered backing in trailers from almost any angle (even blindside). I could put a trailer anywhere it needed to be, no problem. But that came at a cost, road experience. I didn't have the experience to haul a load from one city to the next, but when a driver couldn't dock their trailer after 20+ minutes, I offered to help and planted their trailer within minutes. A trade off I guess. The trailers I parked in the yard didn't even have room to walk between them. Tight room, but hard practice. That practice of backing up makes a huge difference.
@@oniviper took you 2 years to get a job? Probably because you weren't willing to go to an entry level/major carrier, i'm assuming. I guess if you had the funds to wait it out for a better opportunity, it might've been worth it.
@@stevenp9209 Mostly correct. I tried every place I could think of, or saw hiring signs for, in my local area. Was looking particularly for local routes or ones that I'd be out for a night and back. Going OTR was not a viable option under the circumstances going on in my life at that time.
@@oniviper What are you doing now, are you still at a CDL A job? If so how is it?
@@stevenp9209 Unfortunately no, I do not have a CDL job at the moment. This is mostly because of a decline in health due to the side effects of contracting cancer and the side effects of treatment with chemo and radiation catching up with me, even tho I'm cured. I still retain my CDLs, and my current boss uses me when needed as his most experienced driver for shipments or heavy fork lift situations as needed. My old employment with the yard dog job was not pleasant to say the least. My employer was terrible about maintainance on the trucks (broke down often), terrible when it came to winter gear (chains for the tires), and the contractor we were hired with was terrible about maintaining their equipment (the trailers) and the yard. The overall experience left a bad taste in my mouth with regards to the trucking industry. But don't let that be a discouragement to you if you're thinking about joining the trade. My experience was just a bad dice roll in life (among others). Two close friends have recently gotten their CDLs and are working closely about starting their own fleet and bringing me on to help. You never know what doors might open by getting your CDLs.
First rule to backing. Never back up unless absolutely necessary. The set up for backing is very important. Never ever attempt a blind side backing; try to keep all objects in your mirrors. After setting up to back your trailer; turn the wheels and slowly walk the line. You want your trailer to enter the space without hitting other trucks or trailers. Adjust the wheels while backing and pull up if necessary.
Great advice! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
There’s nothing wrong with blind side backing (if you have no choice) the key to blind side backing is getting out as many times as necessary and continue to visualize the distance and room you have between 2 trucks. The biggest problem with blind side backing is people don’t get out and look. Some docks around the country require a blind side backing otherwise you won’t get on the door.
"Never ever attempt a blind side backing"...proves little experience. Sometimes there is NO choice. Blind side isn't some major problem unless you lack the patience for all the stopping and getting up from the seat to look out passenger mirror or window.
Best advice
Blind side backing sucks, but sometimes it is necessary.
Wish all the yards have this much room. 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂
Seriously! Lmao.
He was out so far, we all don't have that luxury
@@gmrchk exactly. I deliver food with a 53 footer in downtown Toronto Canada. You don't have that much room to play around.
No sh#t!
Lol 😆🤣😂
I accidentally tapped an idle truck with my right rear trailer. After that, I'm always anxious everytime I'm doing alley docking. After watching this video & actually performed it, my confidence level has boosted tremendously. Still anxious, but not as much as before. Thank you for the video, I really appreciate it.
Been driving for a little bit and I’ve been hit and have accidentally hit a dropped trailer. Constantly anxious now and hate backing up, i take my time every time and get out 100x if I need to
Important thing is use G O A L. that is the best insurance around when it comes to getting those trailers safely parked.
hows it been working out for ya
I’m sure with loads of backing up experience, you’d be able to catch on fast. Safety first!
You are always gonna get that anxious feeling when backing up every vehicle especially around other vehicles or objects.
I learned more from this video than I did during all my training! Thank you soooooo much!!
#Kristy arkadaş kaç saat eğitim ders aldınız merak ettim teşekkürler
Fergie you are supposed to listen. Not talk on your phone 😂😂😂😂 kidding dear. Fergussons stick together 🤣😊🙏💚
Explained and executed well. Especially nailing 1 OF IF NOT the most important manuever, the set-up. Also not to panic when U think you lost it or failed. Part of execution is knowing what failure is then U correct it. Don't be ashamed if you fail. U get back up and keep at it til it's executed.
Great advice! Thanks for watching!
Well said, I know this is a old comment but frustration control is a big part of learning. As someone who is climbing through the ranks of the freight and heavy equipment industry failure/a bit of struggle is only a part of learning and gaining the experience required , something I wish someone had said to me starting out. Driving the truck is easy putting your pride aside and asking questions when failing can be a pride shot to some fellows and should never be viewed that way to better your experiences on the long haul in my opinion 👌
Thanks for saying that. Currently in school and it's a little overwhelming at first. Gets your nerves going. Especially when I'm used to a Honda civic 😂😂 but I'm excited to learn and start my career!!
@@justinmcnaughton3016 congrats and good luck boss!
I like your advice but I am perplexed by your use of you and U.
If you are not behind the wheel, then you don't know how easy they made this look.
I’m not behind the wheel and it made it easy, I will be behind one very soon though. It’s my next step in my driving big vehicles journey!
They made it too difficult way.
This video made me, finally, back up semi trucks in American Truck Simulator like a pro.
That's awesome, congrats!
Nice! lol. i do both in ATS and in real life.
It's a great game. Very realistic physics.
But it's much much harder in real life, i have to say.

@@yeisonenamorado2451 I start dec 14 graduating on Jan 4th..cant wait
@@Arizona_Vineyard you nervous bro I am I never driven these things but I’m so determined man
Funny I remember watching these videos back when I was taking my CDL class and now I'm a yard driver---I do this a couple hundred times per day now in about 15 seconds or less most of the time. Amazing how this becomes muscle memory so quickly if you get to do it over and over and over and over...
Gets easier every time ?
That's awesome!
Does it get easier by the day
I mean you’re also driving a yard dog and not a regular full size sleeper truck. You can’t really compare that. You turn like a regular car.
Pay attention Schneider showing you how to back up a semi. Next video Swift showing you how to crash properly. Sponsored by Werner,and CR England
Dewayne Miguel, underrated comment
I got the cr england training. I got (they gave)my cdl. Still I don't know how to back :)
@@commodusalexander3077 At Crst that's the only thing I was focusing on, the driving part is common sense. Baking actually isn't that complicated either tho
Backing*
Exactly lol
This made backing up a tractor trailer seem SO much less daunting. Awesome job you guys. Very easily put.
ruclips.net/video/CNEZ_Ijpdew/видео.html
This was actually an extremely bad representation
@@jamievalentine7324do you have a better video recommendation?
@@Fred63205on king David this was the best video .
@jamievalentine7324 for me it was helpful, why you may ask, simply because The Driver was way much on the left and had to correct it. that's the mistake many beginners make, and seeing how to properly correct it, is what makes this video awesome.
As someone who struggles to parallel park this was awesome much respect
we are so glad you found it helpful!
By the time you walk around the truck, 3 guys drove behind you, and there's a dude standing there wanting to polish wheels for a 3 piece chicken dinner and a dr pepper. Watch for problems on approach and get it done.
I didn't even get to finish reading your hold comment before I bust out laughing
That's some funny stuff 🤣 there
Omfg I peed a little
dont forget you will have 2 of 3 good buddies flagging you in cuz they thought you are new and just want to talk for the next 3 hours about life.
@@Billysherry1 pee behind the remourque
So i did my evaluation with a new company and i've never backed a 53 foot trailer. I used all of the steps you mentioned here and i put it perfectly in the hole. This was by far the best video that showed how to set up and what to do than any other video I had seen. Thank you!
I know as a coach driver, there’s some friendly rivalry between us big road users but I’ve always got a ton of respect for you lads and lasses. I couldn’t do this. I’m happy with my vehicle not splitting in half 😂
Keep fighting the good fight, people.
Backing is the one thing that makes me not want to drive truck. I love the idea but it makes me nervous. This video was really helpful and makes me understand it a lot better. Thank you for explaining it for people who have a hard time understanding it.
Same here I get nervous easily when it comes down to backing , I currently drive for CTA and sometimes we have to .
*_I remember going through that training with Schneider National instructors at the Dallas, TX. OC. Good times (as far as my training there is concerned). I was in a shitty relationship with an -ex girlfriend (who was also training there with me) at the time and made to feel poorly and was totally unappreciated by her and that really took a toll on me mentally & emotionally, but that's another story, entirely. Schneider National's training program gets two solid thumbs ups 👍🏾 from me!_* 😁🏆
You get maybe 1/2 to 2/3 of that room out there in the real world. And traffic lined up in both directions going crazy. Lol. But yep that’s the technique. Good video
Agreed
Yeah, i was watching this thinking the same thing. Leave that much space anywhere, and folks start driving through it. They're in Green bay, head over to GP and do a 45 in that lot. Much tighter, and you'll be lucky to get even a 35 in.
Just like he said, start left sooner than 12 oclock if its more confined.
@The Scrambler That's what scares the crap out of me about becoming a truck driver.
most truckers just feel their way in , notice all the trucks are smashed and taped up including the trailers
Schneider rejected my application 3 days before i was supposed to start training and told me reapply in a year. And here I am, learning how to back in a trailer from Schneider for my new job. I gotta thank Schneider tho, this video is a huge help!
I worked for schneider, their training is great. Definitely would recommend them if your fresh out of school !
Thank you!
Same here
Schneider gave the proper training
Best company when it comes to safety
Not much for the pay but since you are new, it’s good to learn about safety first because you take that proper training wherever you go and mostly like you will be a safe a great driver your whole career thanks to the training you had at the beginning
@@JoseHernandez-lm3hs I'm about to get a part time job to save up for truck driving school, my Question is what is the starting pay? What is the work schedule like, any advice I should know. Thank you.
@@socalcandy85
Pay was not that good when I worked with Schneider, but they will give you good training
If go for dry van you might get the least pay, ask them for intermodal, with intermodal you will get pay more although is more of a hustle.
Schneider used to have a program where you can get your license through them but you have to commit to work for them at least two years
Most companies won’t hire new CDL drivers if they don’t have at least two years of experience
I work on intermodal, I do regional runs
I feel happy here
Been doing this for over 8 years
Although not all companies are the same
It’s hard to land on a good company
@@JoseHernandez-lm3hs thank you!
I’ve never seen this before, and it looks pretty difficult! If I were in the driver’s seat, I think I’d need lots of practice! Hats off to the really cool demonstration!
I have not been behind the wheel of on of these yet but I especially appreciate how you show how to correct the angle of the turn . My biggest worry about driving a big rig is backing
I work for another mega but have found and used the techniques in this video. My backing and confidence in my backs have improved greatly! Thank you!
Just started this week and I have to say this is the best training program ever! I’ve learned more in this week that I’ve ever learned in school! Great decision for training!
Great to hear! We are so glad you are getting the most out of your training.
@@schneiderjobs Im in CDL school right now and my instructor was a driver trainer at Schneider. She is a great instructor and she has nothing but great things to say about Schneider. This video was really helpful. I was able to do the 45 degree backing today just from watching this vid, even though we're not taught in school how to do this backing.

Thanks for watching!
That is sad af.
I’m not a truck driver, I have trouble with a bicycle, but I have to admire these select group for their ability. Great job parking that rig, buddy.
If you have trouble with a bicycle, then you should always wear a helmet....
ruclips.net/video/CNEZ_Ijpdew/видео.html
I don’t always back, but when I do, I have a football field to work with haha. I wish they would train students for reality. Place a few awkwardly parked cars nearby, have a few trainers walk around your truck, have another trucker inch closer and closer and closer to you until he’s taken ALL of your backing room, and place a line of trailers across from him. Then he will learn something.
Thank you! I want to learn all I can about driving trucks. This looks quite difficult and a very delicate procedure. i really liked the derailing on all safety tips.
This yard is amazing it is bigger than any other yard i have ever seen
I really love schneider..i was a driver for them and enjoyed every min of it..the only reason im not there is cause of my health..but they really do put drivers first..great company great pay..i have no complaints with this company..they preach and practice SAFETY...
Thank you for the kind comment, Johnny! So glad you enjoyed your experience with us.
safety is #1 element.
I work for CR England and they don't give you much training and backing but watching your video has helped me tremendously thank you so much it's much appreciated
How are you doing with backing ?
@@scarletelizardi7617 slow process but getting better.
Massive Thank you for this video!!! People, this is real, no BS! apply 100% what you see and you will back up any truck trailer. I was struggling for 10 days to get this right, until I saw THIS video!
I just used this to help me back a big UHAUL trailer attached to our truck in a small parking lot. It worked great!!! What excellent education for everyone but special shout out to all the drivers out there
Great job,well explained,one of the best back up videos I have seen,the old saying do it right the first time,cutting corners usually catches up with the driver sooner or later.
Thank you so much, Ronald!
Watched this video yesterday, used it today when I got back to the yard. Very good tutorial. 👍🏼
Glad it helped! And thanks for watching and sharing!
At first I was super confused with the clock, but as you showed the aerial view, it started making more sense.
Nice, simple explanation of how to properly perform a 45 degree back. Excellently done, simple enough to where even I understand it.
Training for Schneider soon so I definitely need this
This is one of the best videos I have seen in showing someone on how to back in a truck stop or wherever it might be .
Thank you Danny, we are glad you found it useful!
I have been doing my setup from the center of the second space after the whole. That's where I was taught. I will try it this way.
Love the overhead camera angle, makes it really easy to see what's going on.
I learned how to park trailer in ATS/ETS. And I have to admit this video would not give me a lot of hints. The most difficult part is when you are inside the truck to "feel" how you should maneuver to make the trailer moving as you wish. When you look at it from a "bird position" it is very different (much simpler). And my finding from the learning process was that while you are learning it is actually better to wheel harder (more than you need in fact) just to feel the reaction and understand how the whole system behaves. And of course the fact that you have to keep in mind that additional "chain" at your back which makes you do things opposite to what you usually do when you part a regular car (like when you feel you need to turn left, it very often means you have to turn right).
So it is quite difficult (as for me) but also a lot of fun. I parked a lot of virtual trailers and now can do it even from the first attempt (without additional forward-back aiming as in the video). :)
This was a life saver when playing' American Truck Simulator' in VR. So clear and to the point. Thank you.
Yeah, I know I'm an idiot for paying money to drive a truck, vs earning it. But fun is fun.
Thank you so much for making this video. Very easy to understand. Much easier than had been explained to me in the past

This is the best video I've seen. Was my first day at work after 2 years of not working. Worked like a charm
Nice, just had guy come in from Schneider to the cdl school i just got in. I just passed my permit exam and got tanker, doubles and triples endorsement. I have three weeks of field training before my acual drive and skills test. Aftet that i will be getting my Hazmat endorsement but WA state requires a 16 hour class before you can the Hazmat endorsement. I will deff be watching this video over a few times im sure.

Well done, am doing my class 1 in Canada and this is help me a lot.
Heck, with that much room, id just do a straight back.
Right? You dont even have to Alley dock wtf..🤣
Right
Obviously but they're just trying to make a video lol....
This is a tutorial on how to back it in though.....
Was thinking the same
It's always been my dream to drive these awesome machines
Something honestly funny : The views vs subs on this video. The difference shows just how many drivers/operators don't know or aren't comfortable backing a long trailer BUT don't want anyone to know.
Thank you for the valuable instruction video. Backing really is a "use it or lose it" skill. And yes, I drive.
I just got my learners permit; now I'm watching this kind of stuff a lot.
That was great, thanks for the lesson.
This should be mandatory training for any travel trailer towing motorist.
I was doing my backings different until I watched this video , thanks Schneider 👍🏼👍🏼.
Excellent! Thanks for sharing that!
You are a great instructor.
I only drive a truck in the simulator but I think it's a very cool job.
👍🤴🏻
One of the best videos about backing up at 45 degrees. Nice and safe explanation how to make it right when you got this angle. If you need to get off a couple more times to see how the trailer is before getting in between 2 trailers, just do it !!! As many times as you need it , I would say it. Avoid accidents !!!
Kolle
Wow, this seemed so easy. Plus there is alot of room. Great training video! I will try this. I am currently struggling with my backing in. Ugh...not giving up tho.
You got this! Practice makes perfect! Stick to the fundamentals and ask for help, tips from fellow drivers.
very good video; aka in the warehouses of Paso Texas some do not have much space for such wide movements. Greetings
@Hello Ruben how are you doing
Wow!! This is the best video so far. Well explain. I'll try this out next week. I just started my training for knight transportation.
One of the best truck backing videos. Thanks.
I learned more about backing from watching this video than I did in school or with my company trainer! Do you have any videos about doing the same kind of back but with limited space?
We are working on adding to the series! Hopefully soon!
Thanks for the amazing video.
Glad you liked it!
So far it's the best video I found thank you so much . It's really helpful .so easy and the way you tell us what we do step by step
Thanks
Just tried this out like 5 minutes ago at a receiver and it was a pretty solid technique. A++ will try again.

The key point here is you don’t want to be running into anything.
good idea maybe I shouldn't be yeeting into trailers left and right
Usually I hit Return key and it’s done. Granted, you get less XP overall.
Best instruction ever. Thank you very much 🙌
Absolutely great demonstration.
Teach students how to back into tight space first then this would be a cake walk

Thank you so much i learn good lesson 12 o’clock back 9 this is difficult for new driver like my self but now I understand how to do it thank you again
Thank you so much for this video it was very helpful.
This is very hard for new people but if you follow the rules step by step is gonna be easy and also more practice/reption is the key good luck to everyone who interested
in our country it is very difficult to maneuver like that, because most places are very narrow ☹️
I've worked for Schneider and theyre great but i can't say that they went above, teaching how to back a tractor-trailer over DDA in Shreveport, LA. When i got to Schneider, the instructors were amazed with my skill at backing, that One of the two "Mikes", Big Mike & Lil Mike, literally bet me that i couldn't one shot back a trailer into a spot, with fully extended tandems and along with them decreasing the operating room for the tractor. BET! One shot, backed in between two trailers with four inches of gap between the two trailers i back it between. Don't Play with me, Give Me My Money!
Man i miss the food they cooked at that OC!
Thanks so much I learn more from this video and I hope to get more training too thank you Sir❤
I like the concept of the video but out on the real roads you don’t get all that room to maneuver. Don’t even need all that space to be real. Personally I’ve been in crazy tight positions & that’s what makes the practice makes perfect. Being in them nail biting area’s.
Okay, I got the backing. Now how do I sit in the cab and record someone else back up a tractor-trailer?
