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.

13 years of driving around Chicago. My advice, do it fast like a bandaid. Just make the turn using the entire road. And I mean all of it. But do it quick enough that no one even has time to cut you off on the inside. Works like a charm.
Chicago and San Francisco just aren't built for us.
I drove through Chicago once in a sub-compact. I couldn't begin to imagine driving a semi through there
nah.. not quick.. slowly but be aware what's coming..
Definitely necessary the closer you get to downtown. Sometimes there is too much traffic, though, and you just have to make the best of what you’ve got, and try to at least not take out a street sign or lamp post on the corner🤣
Pfft "quick" ....yeah don't listen to this guy. Smh
RIP TO ALL THE CURBS I RAN OVER
Better a curb than a car.
True, I've got my fair share of curbs.
There’s a few spots in LA where you have no choice but to ride the curb to make a right turn and your trailer will get super close to the traffic light, I always get paranoid that I will take out the light.
@@littlepepper4370 try new york ;/
I drive rigs in NYC. Take as many lanes as you need to. People can and will wait an extra 30 seconds in their life if they need to.
I did it twice. Once in the Bronx and once in Brooklyn. Never again. You guys that run through the city are amazing. I do Boston and it is Mickey Mouse compared to NYC.
@@thegamingtruckdriver I appreciate the kind words. It’s not too bad once you know where you’re going (map it out fully ahead of time with Google maps and truck GPS). Always have a backup plan in case of construction and only give people so much room. Also, and I can’t stress this enough, get a dashcam. Too many people trying to get those insurance claims! Safe travels, driver
@@michaeld3919 make sure horn is functional too on your pretrip. Pretty sure in NYC they just wire the horn to the ignition switch
That hit and run at the end though….“He’s fine….he’s fine”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"he's fine, he's fine", Hahaha, thanks for the video.
I am not a Class A driver but tow a 5th wheel camper. Your videos are very well done, I have learned a lot watching them. Thank you!
hit in run in the last min was just great
Lol “I should probably get his information” 💀
Its fine its fine lol betch u hit me w a 18 wheeler 🤣🤣 its fine its fine💀
@@007outtacontrol i never drove 1 but he was patching trough mistakes like Bob Ross .. happy mistakes made 🤣
@@007outtacontrol im saving up for my classes now
Naw... he's fine
I used to watch these videos when I was in cdl school..
Helped out a lot..
Thank you so much..
I saw this video in my feed and just smiled..
How far I’ve come..
thanks again.
Thank you for your videos ! You are a blessing to us new drivers!
Tks! These new series of videos are getting better and closer to real life situations!
I take my CDL test in 5 minutes. Thanks, helped a lot
Great videos. I swear I always learn something from your videos. God bless you buddy and keep up the great work.
"I should probably get his information... No no he's fine..he's fine" lmao
Goin for my p.t.i. an driving skills test next month, appreciate all the skills lessons an parking manuvering advice u give, much better than what I get on the yard or the simulator at school... Keep em' coming!!
In school, I was taught to use the spot mirror and flat mirror for turns, but after 6 years behind the wheel, I find that the hood mirror is best. I have a much wider field of view. However, I still use the spot mirror as a backup
I do the same
I call them my intersection mirrors
I'm in a daycab so I can cheat and look out the back window. I hit something once when i was a rookie in a condo turning right onto a narrow road from a somewhat narrow road. I was turned sharp enough that the trailer wasn't visible in my convex and the truck didn't have hood mirrors. Not blaming the truck, I was the guy driving it, I should have gone wider.
I am in classes now and was taught to wait until my shoulder is in the 2nd lane before turning right
Thank you very much! This is what I am asking for. I will watch it later. I am going to work right now.
Your lessons are very helpful! Thank You!
Turns are pretty much needed, thank you!
advice to new driver here training for license, hitting curbs is fine just don't panic, take your time and learn things, once you get grab of things it will be lot easier. Just be patient in driving, take your time even when you have become experienced driver
Your the man dude . I'm learning from you. Real excellent driveing showing real situations.
Crashes into car..."no he's fine". 🤣
Turns are good judgement calls! That why I like driving during nights hardly no traffic at the stops light to make wide turns!
Nights it’s harder to watch your trailers and etc.l prefer morning ones try da best to avoid night even after 4 year of rookie
Night's means less city traffic and always good spots to park at truck stops/rest areas.
If you want to make right turn,go straight to next block. Turn left,go a block,turn left.go a block,now you are back to street you wanted to turn right on, but you can use ALL lanes to turn left now,end up going way you wanted.
That sir, is the only correct answer I've seen. Be safe...
I know that sounds safe but you are pretty much getting into 4 intersections instead of just 1 .. so I feel like it would be maybe more dangerous.. I’ve driven a bit in cities.. Dallas .. LA .. Salt Lake City .. Chicago.. Portland.. and they’re all different but I realized that a lot of people see you and try to get out of your way or give you space to get by safely too .. or you can wait and turn when it’s safe to go ..
Very good lesson. Thank you!
I started laughing when you was hugging the line at 4:25 because I do that all the time. Good videos 👍🏿
Thank you for video may God bless you forever 🙏
Good stuff good stuff keep it rolling
Beautiful video. I have been driving years and half, I like too much this video.!
Yes he is awesome 👌 thanks
Last turn was perfect 👍
Super lesson 👍
Great Vid 👏💪👍💯
very helpful thank You.
Excellente 👏👏👏
Underrated channel
Thank you sir!
Seeing it in the sim was very helpful to understand
Very helpful instructions
When I drove OTR I started out on the east coast and I'm from the midwest. Never drove a rig before and I learned driving a rig really quick... Lol. That east coast sucks and those 4 wheelers are nuts. Watch those mirrors at all times, especially on right turns. What I learned was to hug that curb with the trailer keep those idiots from trying to get past you during a turn. On right tight turns I turned into the curb, then swung left just enough to make room for the turn keeping my trailer on the right as far as possible. If you can drive that damn east coast you can drive just about anywhere. Good luck to all you new drivers, stay safe and watch those mirrors and keep them clean. Your mirrors are your best friend.
Duuuuude I thoroughly enjoyed this one LOOOL :D
You are a crazy driver. 😂😂
I was well trained to do bottom hooks for right turns safely with respect and courtesy for others drivers at the intersection and people love it when a perfect set-up can be done to perform that right turn without bother them to backup. His advices are good but never think the turn that you already know it woul be always the same like he said never take your eyes away from everything while performing a turn. I woul say never move faster than you can see.
Much appreciated sir
This is a great channel for learners bravo 😊👍
This helps a lot looks simple and easy when someone who know how to do it but all these small details is you making that turn or not good details , backing is the hardest but still you need to know how to drive the truck In city
Not sure why I’m still watching after 8 mins lol. I’m using the entire road to make a turn if I have to lol. Been doing it for years and will keep doing it because it’s safer and practical. Better to go more wide than be too tight... obviously after making sure the lane or lanes your gonna use aren’t occupied.
Very good tutorial mate love the vid, youre right im here for the reverse videos but still good, you made a good point the road test rules for turning screw u up in the real world trust me i drive local in ny-nj
Congratulations 🎊🎈 ❤
Useful!
Good stuff thanks
Awesome video!!
Very helpful
When in doubt, swing it out.
It's a friggen trailer
Здраствуйте! Спасибо Вам! Все занятия надо смотреть!
How rude to comment in a different language.
This isn't Ru Tube.
Thanks Driver
🤣🤣🤣 THE END OF THE VIDEO WAS FUNNY. POOR RED CAR
i needed this
13:29 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He hit and run at da end 😂
The ending was great lmao
This video is very useful 👌👍
I can’t wait for the game to come out
"Nah, he's fine. He's fine." 😄👌
Thanx !
I like the real world scenarios.
Thank youu Sir
At a turn like the ones at 9:37, what should I do if there is opposing traffic turning left (especially another semi-truck) since you have to swing wide to not cut into the leftmost left turn lane? I'm thinking I should wait until no opposing traffic is turning left, but I may be wrong.
Lol spinning the steering wheel so fast 😂
Thanks
I drive 53” household goods trailer every day in a residential areas and it can be quite entertaining sometimes
Oh boy 😟
Thanks a lot! I just got my permit for class A. I’m about to start school 🏫 learning about the in cab inspection and out inspection. It’s good to learn early what you was teaching and it was very helpful. Thanks again!
Glad I could help!
This video shows that smaller vehicles and their drivers need a lot of respect for large trucks and truck drivers. We all share the road.
I have been looking for this channel!!! I heard about it from other truckers..
Best teaching videos of all time ,love them man , learning a lot brother.thanks !
Awesome simulation and explanation not difficult to understand, the vision when behind the real steering wheel is a little different. But great for a learner's. Thanks for this tutorial. Truck on Safely. 🚛
I was the car that took the inside one time, for the right turn. As soon as I was making my move three different other drivers started honking at me. Fortunately I stopped and let the trucker do his thing, taking up the left two lanes and into a single lane on the exit of the turn. All turned out ok and I had to endure some cat calls (stupid #ucker) and nasty looks. It was a tight turn though and the trucker was taking all of the two right lanes at the beginning of the turn which is why I originally ‘thought’ I had the free right. That was 25 years ago and I am still a little more watchful.
Great
I like how you put it post CDL please make one for Alley Dock post CDL school I now you have other videos but I want to know what is it that you look for landing gear? Rivets on trailer? Please explain turn by turn it would help us post CDL students a bunch thanks 😊 👍
Exactly how i do it :) 4:19
These turns you demonstrated reminds me of the extreme button hook right turn from northbound cicero to Armitage or 130° left turn from division to Elston in Chicago☹
North side streets in Chicago are the devil 🤘 i live here lol
@@OtherworldlyTV haha! Most streets in Chi-town is not semi truck route. Any can best believe that. The company I drive for is Connors Transportation, with the Central American account.
Shultze and Burch at 35th & Racine is where I usually drop and hook. The trailers we pull are mostly pieces of shit. Most of which cannot have the tandems slid back and forth.. The right turn from 35th S to Ashland W is very challenging when your tandems are all the way to the back.
The CDL manual says never back up because you might hit someone behind you, Wait for the the vehicle infront of you to move
Exactly correct! They back up to allow you to make the turn or we can sit there all day and look at one another. 32 years and I don't back up.
Stay straight turn late...and get all the real estate you can in setting up before you turn and when you see the opportunity...also if you see you're blocked sit still with your signal on honk and motion that guy stopped across the intersection to come on out, you have to wait for him in tight situations sometimes, no other way to make some of those right handers especially in older cities. I've gotten out with the hazards on before to splain it... everyone can wait, or you will twist metal and really screw up everything.
Hmm,I think maybe aiming for the nearest curb or just before the curb for the left hand turn and just following it makes sense to me rather than going straight past and then adjusting for the curb. As for the right aiming just before the yellow line in the left side could be good enough. The trailer from a certain point of view ends up where you are looking but just in a delayed manner.
Ty
To make a right turn its best to use a Jug Handle turn... the trailer will block the four-wheeler from getting between you and the curb.
I had to GOAL during a right hand turn. I was so embarrassed, but I took it too wide and had to back up. Had to ask the car behind me to back up a bit so I could back up a few feet.
Been there!!
But you have the balls to admit it good for you ty.....
I've even had another driver get into my truck and back into the space for me, because it didn't know how to. I've even done that for other drivers too, no shame in it.
I drove tractor trailers in downtown San Francisco for 20+ years. Steep hills, stop lights at the top were always red, somebody on my ass, right turns only, one way streets, people everywhere, super narrow alleyways…. Let me tell you how to drive and survive in The City.
Never a problem for me.
Cool
Great and useful, thank you very much
6:03 I’ve encountered this in Phoenix,AZ & Porterville,CA
I know you hit that last car on purpose. Hilarious!
Thks for help All us
I certainly wouldn't go crazy turning the steering wheel 😊
ups. thanks
In Europe, the trailer overhang is usually longer. You have to be extremely careful in the narrow lanes so as not to damage a car with the rear of the trailer.
It's 61.5' for truck and trailer length in Europe. US length is 73'
That's just a truck and trailer.
We do want to see the turns 🎉🎉🎉❤❤
That School Bus Driver was so Disrespectful! Lol
It's a shame only six hundred or so people have seen this..... The amount of shitty drivers that Canada is putting on the road right now, its ludicrous. They all need to watch this video and kudos to you for trying to teach people.👍
Though it depend's on the various truck length's. A forty five foot trailer tandem's track in a turn, eight feet. Meaning when one starts to do a turn the trailer tandem's won't react to the turn for eight feet of travel the steering axle goes. Obviously, shorter or longer trailer's mean's the distance the reaction from the tandems and the steer axle's will change also. Learning how to do a what is referred to as a "BUTTON HOOK" will compensate for the variation.
Doing such during the DLC driving test, is unacceptable. Thus using the shortest trailer one can utilize works. After receiveing the DLC. Doing button hooks, assuming you have praticed, will be come second nature.
Smart car drivers watch thr truck because of one simple reason, truck v car...truck always wins.
