    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.

    And remember, keep your speed dead slow, slow truck, fast hands and your trailer will be more responsive to steering inputs. The biggest mistake I see drivers making at truck stops and docks is they care to much about the impatience of other drivers. Take your time and you'll get it right the first time!

      Yes, exactly! If people just relax, they will annoy others a lot less because they will get in faster. Slow is fast and fast is slow.

      @tarabajcula 2 года назад +15

      This is the best answer. just slowly and without haste, no matter how long it takes you, just ignore others, until you are 100% sure that everything is as it should be. and if you need, don’t be lazy to go out and If you nedd 10x to check your right and back side not to hook someone.

      And using T junctions to turn around when lost...

    At my job I am exposed to a lot of tractor trailers. So e of these guys are really good. Even with trailers on both sides, they pull right up and back in even with not much room to pull forward to try and straighten things. A lot of the other truckers, though, they take 10 minutes or more constantly pulling up and backing up. I remember a lady who was so nervous she almost broke down crying. Another driver from another company spotted her and guided her back into the dock. One of the most heart warming things I've ever seen. ❤️

    Once I was in my car and a truck like this one was manoeuvring carefully to do such a move. It was a busy street at rush hour and because of it, there was a long line of cars that were stuck. I was the first in that line. Once he succeeded, the driver looked at me with a face of embarrassment, as if he felt bad for preventing the cars from circulating. Then I clapped and smiled, hoping he would understand I was genuinely impressed by his skills. Then his face lit up and he was happy. Good job, truck drivers!

    Been driving for 4 yrs flatbed and somehow I missed this channel this is absolutely perfect thank you for making. I can typically get into right spaces pretty well but with lots of slow calculated adjustments because my set up is a little off, or maybe the space in front is tight or maybe the spread is a little sporadic but these might help me dial it in and get more smooth thanks for the videos this is great

  • @NipplesOfDestiny

    one thing to note is watch your cables when cranking hard, my company locks the 5th wheel all the way to the back position, so if using a continuous supply cable (the curly one) it could get caught under the mudflaps during your first turn

    When I was in school we called this a 12 and 9. Backing is usually the hardest and most stress inducing thing for a new driver. Like anything though once you practice it enough it get easier until one day you wake up and it makes sense. I always tell new drivers you need to learn the size of your vehicle and the angles needed to accomplish your goal. Unfortunately you won't always have the space for this type of back.

    After 1.5 million miles backing up is easy. I drive the trailer when doing so. Hand placement on the steering wheel has a lot to do with it. Top or bottom the rear will react a certain way. Small increments in turning it helps. Aim the rear towards the target point and put it there.
