This Trucking Game may not be a view from inside the cab, but it's the most realistic physics that a truck makes where you get to understand how to truck operates in reverse. American Truck Simulator (ATS)and European Trucking Simulator 2 (ETS2) are the best trucking games that you get, and I recommend that you play them, but my game is created for people to just get used to reversing a trailer.
I have heard from so many users that truck schools across the country use my game and use my videos to show their students how to back up.

I’m in school right now they never told me that the problem is if you see to much on the trailer turn towards that way they just said chase the problem and I thought I’d turn towards the side that I didn’t see the trailer that should help me out so much!! Gonna give it a try thank you!
This channel needs to be on the board in every cdl school in America
The drone footage, the lines, the cameras on the mirrors and tires( not this video but his others ) schools should be showing this to all their students
Good job Thank you
Why only in America? :)
@@ИванДо-ф6н My bad...World wide. 👍
Don't mind) America first, if you are American
I am a new truck driver , just got my license at age 50. I did a total career change from floral designer for huge event companies to truck driver . I find really hard with trainers at the school and companies is that everyone teaches you so many way to drive . It’s all confusing at times . I find worth your videos I can reprogram my brain, absorb more information in a clear way. I just kind of lost the intimidation part of driving a 53 footer , so now I can concentrate more on parking . Thank you for the videos .
I made the same career change at 50.
Same here. Will be 50 this year. Transitioning into trucking from warehouse work. I'm in my 2nd week of school and not great at backing up! How has it been for you?
Your job is incredible! I have been trying to find something like this for hours in Internet. This is exactly what is needed to understand the reversing process. Thanks.
I was so unprepared for trucking. The CDL school only taught how to pass the test.
Thank you for your channel.
Which school?
@@3bydacreekside Most schools, I was unprepared also; Took over a year to properly back up and park.
Is similar as driving school, they teach you the road laws and everything but they don’t teach you how to operate the car itself
@@christswarrior9866 Agreed!!!
I’m from Morocco 🇲🇦 , and i would like tell you that because of you i had learned so much of backing tutorials, thank a lot 👍🏼
The aerial view is the most helpful here. Being able to see the wheel position, truck position. Even though I have a pickup and 18' trailer this is still an excellent tool. All other videos on backing up any trailer is from the point-of-view of driver's seat or someone outside the truck. "turn the wheel" means zero if you cant see which way. Much appreciation! Thanks.
You Sir are awesome. I've been driving 14yrs and still learning from you!
Wow, thanks!
Excellent !!! WAY for teaching...I'm in cdl SCHOOL right now and I'm having a HARD TIME - STRAIGHT BACKING... it seems like this WILL HELP ME HOW TO PHYSICALLY WHICH WAY TO TURN THE WHEEL...YOU EARNED A FAN HERE !!
The graph grid is very helpful, but most of the places I back into... the painted lines on the ground are faint or non existent
Use your imagination and mentally paint the lines on the ground.
Believe me, I try to imagine the lines 😬
You can simply place something, come, glove, whatever you want on rye faded line to help you. Biggest issue is overcoming the insecurity of being watched by other drivers.
David, I am constantly coming back to your videos; picking up tidbits I have missed along the way. I have referred your channel to many struggling drivers as the BEST and ONLY videos needed to perfect backing skills. Thank you, as always, for your tireless efforts to teach the trucking community.
Thanks very much man!!! But it really is my pleasure to helping.
Huge help on straight backing I was turning just the oppiside trying to correct the drifting the clock thery helped as well
I am from nepal and my dream is to hit the road in america with a PETERBILT❤🎉😅
This was so helpful! I had a few issues backing in a small spot filled with trailers but now you’ve really made me understand how easy my problem is to fix! No one was able to help me but this video! You are AWESOME!! Thanks so much! I plan to continue watching all of your videos over and over again. Very Very Helpful! Everything was perfect with your tutoring!
The trucking community has a lot of bad people who rather laugh then help you. But there’s good people too who create content like this to help us. I’m a new driver and I don’t have much experience. But these videos extremely help me.
Ok that’s good teaching I’m having a lot of trouble backing
Love this simulator.
Love the game.
Get the paid version worth it!
Question, which trailer size should I start with in the game?
Plz put an on and off for the spinning world.
Great job and thanks for the tips. Awesome format and can’t wait to play/learn from your game.👏👍
OMG! This is the movement I needed to learn at CDL driving school after PTI.
Can't wait til this game comes out!! How much will it be? 💕
YES! I like the new format with the steering and wheel movements combined with how their movements are affecting the tractor and trailer. Excellent. I've been in trucking school for a month or so and one thing I think many new students struggle with is the fact that any direction change one wants to make must first start with straightening the rig by chasing the trailer. It's one of the finer points or details that hasn't been emphasized by my schools' instructors enough and this birds eye view with the new format really helps. Good work.
I get confused because I’ve heard jack knife is bad to back up alley dock but then it’s either 45 degrees alley docks or 90 which is jack knife right? so for most people watching it’s rookie drivers like my self so please remember more step by steps can be lots of help 👍
Any time the trailer isn't straight behind the tractor, it's called a jack knife. It's not bad unless you go too far and hit your trailer, or if you lose traction and jack knife while driving down the highway.
Thank you for sharing this information
Believe it or not I learned parking from this professor. You wont believe all the people who was more time on the road than me and couldn’t park that i helped. Thanks a million to you sir
Great teaching tactics great stuff
Please keep up the good work ❤️
You are absolutely the best! It's been a while since I've viewed your videos because I have been out of trucking for a few months.. I LOVE you simulator bc I think it simplifies everything for new drivers. With the previous videos , I felt that they were too busy- too much to look at. Never-the-less you're always the best! Thank you for improving upon your skills in simplifying this information for new drivers!
67yrs have my CDL 5 months love all you teaching lessons very helpful
Thank you very much.
Your videos are fantastic!! I’m a new driver and they have been very helpful! Thank you for the work you put into them!!
I work as a trainer for an LTL and I will definitely be reccomend ing this to my students when it comes out
This is brilliant. Teaches me how a truck and trailer move when you turn the steering wheel in reverse. Very helpful for students.
Awesome! I can SEE the steers!!
NOW it's making a TON more sense.
I need SETUP scenarios, especially for tight BUZY lots/yards.
Just for shiggles, add deep mudpuddles/rises, that might/and do, create lost of traction, intermittently, while a doin' all this.
When ya gotta switch on yer interaxles, and there's NO snow, sigh . ..
Thanks, Thanks, Thanks
Can’t wait for this to come out! Brilliant!
What simulator is this?
My Trucking Skills the game on iOS and Android
I just purchased the game on IOS, it’s so fun, 🤩, I am like a kid in a candy store 😅😂😊, my problem at school is that there is a lot of students over 90+ but there are about 6 trucks and 6 instructors available for all of us on a waiting line, in and out not enough time to really learn what the truck can do.
Best educational series of parking, this honestly could be an excellent part of practice for learning drivers.
It's really helpful
Feeback. While you know your stuff and the simulator is great, what's needed is "basics" and I mean basic. What angle do the wheels turn to? No one mentions its 4 turns hard left to hard right. No one mentions say , from wheels straight go to about one full turn right to make the front of the trailer go right.
There is an absence on the key elements of the truck test.
Offset parking test can be very limited in front and some are impossible to do on One Movement.
I watched instructor after instructor fail to show the basics. They also "know their stuff" but have delusions students will also find it simple , they get tired, cranky and start yelling at students.
Using the simulator, lets find out, What is the Absolute minimum distance you can do an offset.
Start in the right lane, and driving forward, what is that minimum distance and steering wheel moves that get it done.
Now, how do you do that in reverse, if you just drove out, whats stopping us doing that in reverse order?
How can we break that down into numbered steps.
If we can't do it in one pull or 3 pulls, just what "checklist" can we use to make sure we don't make it worse or get it done in the shortest amount of moves and more importantly, loose the least amount of points.
When the test is that difficult , some examiners will not deduct the points that in theory they should. Sometimes they don't worry about the clock or pull ups.
But, I'd like to see you do a video on how to do the offset in the absolute minimum distance.
Just how many paces is that Cone from the front of the trailer that limits forward movement.
My last test was 53 paces. Not much.
I tried straight backing today very first time.. so instructor told me to while balancing when I turn steering wheel towards the side I see then I should stop straighten wheel and continue.. it messed me up.. I couldn't do it.. but then I found I can do it if I don't stop just keep driving very and I mean very slow .. basically while backing it I drive very slow without stopping I can balance the trailer if I stop after every turn of the wheel it gets very hard.
This is the 1st video I saw of yours. Subscribed. I thought of doing something like this but I only know business logic programming, do to speak. I have some ideas for you of your want to get ahold of me.
Thank you so much, I am a beginner, it has been difficult for me to park the trailer, at school I only moved the truck, my tutor is impatient, he wants me to do it quickly and I can't.
Just bought the game for PC and in truck school. This is helping. Thx
Thank you for this I'm getting ready for training, wish me luck.
Hello if i buy the game does it cover right hand driving, Ive been drinking.any years on and off and still struggle in reversing but hopefully watching all these will help me alot. Thank you. Ive subscribed also .
you are dong perfect!
thanks alot
Thank you. You are far more knowledgeable than my CDL instructors on backing.
Exactly! I’m in training now and that’s my weak point. I get so frustrated trying to do it. A lot of them think we are suppose to grasp the concept of it in one go. If I knew how to already then I wouldn’t need training. 🤣🤣 it’s so confusing.
My trainer sits in his truck all day and leaves us to fend for ourselves
I just saw the video and download the game let's see how it works.
Got my truck License and I couldn't back up on the job interview on the test lol
Thank you I like the video, question what if the steering wheel is faulty? I notice its still possible but it throws you off if its the first time you driven a truck.
I don’t like this because for me it’s like trying to reverse a car dolly not a semi trailer. Also the Ariel view hinders things a bit.
Brilliant will be checking every update till the game is out.
Love everything about your great game idea. Am in Africa hope it will be available here as well please.
This is awesome you did explain to turn towards the problem to correct the problem:) and I’m gonna get the game also
Thanks, my biggest confusion is when I can see one side of trailer but in the other side only see the bulkhead of the trailer.. if understood correctly. I then want to turn the wheel in the direction that I can see the side of the trailer. This way I am chasing the trailer and alignment the tracker and trailer.... Is this correct?
By the way im new subscribers to your channel I'm have more learning your channel men
Outstanding tutorial. It is clear and to the point.....exactly what I needed, Thank you and God bless you !
Thanks for the video...I still have to practice...it's kinda confusing
I am on a class right now...I will be asking my instructor to allow me to do this. I am hearing the terms moving the trailer and chasing the trailer. That is what I need to learn.. Where are you located?
another nice video. one thing I haven't mastered is when to start chasing the trailer when doing a 45 or 90. I always have to do a pull up.
I found your video on backing to be very helping, especially the broom stick balancing example. Thanks!
I'm struggling with keeping my trailer straight and I think your methods are going to help me come Monday back in class...I'm gonna get the desktop game as well...thank you man💪
Did it end up helping you? I'm on my second day of backing and freaking out because I'm struggling bad with it.
@@goatofliberty4466 it did help but honestly the only thing that will get you better at it is doing it more and more...I've been driving on the job now for about 6 weeks and I'm still not great at it... straight backs are no problem but alley dock style is still difficult for me...it will get easier with time...I know everyone says that but it is true.
@@darklight4815 I definitely agree with you. After posting earlier, I went to class and got a little better at backing today. It's gonna take more time to get proficient at. It's NOT as easy as I thought it was gonna be 🤣
@@goatofliberty4466 same here...stick with it,you got this💪
I purchased the game for my pc. Where can I find this section on there. Thank you. This is the part I need 😊
Make steerin wheel bigger away frm truck so wen ure in ure phone u can steer with finger n u can see truck .also it wil be kool if u can make a nice train horn .very kool video.
I've been driving for about 6 months but my backing skills suck!
Show backing into something ( dock , street etc ) It's one thing to show
on graph paper , but it neede to be put into perspective .
Going through training currently for my class A and the serpentine is kicking my butt
Bro. 3 years later I’m here because I’m going through cdl school
Actually, you helped me to understand the basics. Keep On
The details are done very well！ Looking forward to trying the game. Thanks !!
Thank you I'm just learning this video helps me a lot!!
Now if you can get it to work with a steering wheel and the P.C. That would be cool. It is fun on the iPad.
Awesome. Great. Very helpful. Thankyou so-so-soooo much.
This is an awesome app the commentary is great and the teaching is also awesome. I'm gonna study this and i'm gonna drive the truck i'm gonna take my test on the eighth thanks a lot
You tutor is impressive but the only error i spotted was your steering and direction of your of your trailer.
Broom on your finger. I think I can finally internalize what's going on now.
you're good trenching. it's helpful for me.thank you.
Thank you so much!!! You help me a lot!!!
How can I have the game? You Awesome!!!
can you assist me with tips on backing using the trailer shoulders to determine the side to stear to and straighten the trailer
Excellent program Thank you
You do an excellent job my brother!!! I enjoy watching and learning, knowledge is power and spit a lot of knowledge. Thank you!!!!!
Have you considered putting your game on the Steam store for PC? I know some gamers that would definitely buy this, could be a good way to expose it to more people
I have considered it, I even have an account on there. It hurt my brain with all the things I needed to do to get it on there. But you can download it on the PC by going to mytruckingskills.com
Ur game is great!! It helped me get a real understanding on over stearing. Ty
The videos are all good I only want to know what happens to the trailer when you turn the horse to the left or right ? What do you need to do?
Good vid. Tip: minimize the use of "right" "K" etc ;-)
I would love a first person driver with mirrors POV for backing…it would make this easier to implement in training irl. Thanks for your game and help
You should check out my earlier videos then. Head to my channel, click on videos, search back a couple of years and you will not find any better video of a POV
You explain it better than my cheap mom & pop truck school instructor.
Thanks buddy I'm using everyou teach out there i n the real world
Gd job sir day by day through you I'm getting skills
I leaned the backing from your videos thank you so so much
Short and informative.
Thanks a lot👍🤝🤝
si tu postea en español vas a tener el doble de vista porque muchos hispanos estamos sacando la Cdl
I just purchased your game because I spent $3000 on a truck driving school and I'm day 3 into it and I'm having an incredibly difficult time backing up straight (doesn't help that their truck's steering wheel has tons of play and is not truly center).
Ever tried to make controls for a video game steering wheel controller work for it?
No steering wheel attachment. That's too much work for me to figure out.
Any advice for over correctors? I bombed my drive test twice. I lost so many points in the straight back that I pointed out on the offset.
Normally I'm fine but the terrain was a bit rougher than i expected. The trailer wasn't moving fast enough to not veer right.
It's like I just choked I had no problem with the moves in school. Now I'm feeling like an anxietal mess. How do I F up straight backing? I test again tomorrow so wish me luck.
Was it a 28 for trailer? The smaller the trailer the harder it is to control.
Informative and helpful, thanks!
I love it , I have not seen the way you have it on the screen with the wheels showing .
Is the game out already I have 2 days till I test to park a 40ft and 20ft container 10 times each for a job opportunity. I’m not very confident I can park them 10 times without messing up Ive found a new respect for truck drivers it is not easy.
Yes it is. You still want to buy all levels and go to CDL ones and choose the trailer size.
I was having a hard time backing. You just made it so much easier and simpler for me!
I love this !! It's exactly what I've seen training
You should of had stationary reference point (like squares) to properly see how the truck moves while backing. Otherwise there is no spatial reference points to demonstrate what you're saying.
Not the whole map is full of squares as reference points!! It's literally on a grid.
Perfect backing no snake twisting good job.
This. More of this.. please please💙from🇨🇦
I always have problems with Alley dock
