For all you haters out there this trainee is in 2 years with safe miles that is the important thing here and he's becoming a trainer these are the drivers that we need
We flatbed drivers need more videos like this one. Just started last week, I had some great backings at the shipper but the truck stops are kicking my ass.
how did you pass cdl school if you can't back?
@@thisperson6655 it's a difference backing on cdl school with cones then backing in real life scenarios with trucks trailers different angles different space.
@@mateodominguez9168 should have learned that in school how to know where the trailer is going before you got the license
@@thisperson6655 well thats not how it works bro
That guy will never be out of shape as many times as he GOALs that’s for sure.
Lol yup it's a good workout
haha, it's only when you're new, no one GOAL's after the 1st or 2nd week LOL
@@kenp9199 yes and as a veteran trucker that’s hauled everything from box to oversized permitted to what I do now is smooth bore tanker hazmat, in case you do not know it’s the pinochle of truckers. GET OUT AND LOOK , if you think you are that secure at all times with your ability to back at all times you are complaisant, which means if you have not had a accident yet well you are do , complaisant it will happen.. Hope you as a fellow driver will will understand this
Some of the hardest backing you'll do is in truckstops, great training.
Go to a chemical plant and come back and talk to me
I go out Monday morning to meet my TE and continue my journey. Your guy did great. You taught him well. ❤ 💯 👍
Always go to the back. Take the easy spots. Get the exercise you need .
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
He will be doing this in 5 minutes in no time 👌
Good job and Axel way to go .. What a helpful and supportive trainer. 🙏
Fantastic job, your a great trainer that's how it works.
Way to stay positive trainer!! Much respect ✊🏾
Great job trainer & trainee. Love the videos Axel! Keep safe & stay busy boys!!
Armstrong 3:16 thanks brother
Wouldn't it be nice if all truck stops in the north east had that much space to back into.
Good trainer! Thank you for taking your job seriously.
Outstanding! Great trainer and student-proud of both of you
By far the best trucking mentor on youtube right here. 100%
Nice job letting him practice and focusing on G. O. A. L. 👍🏻👍🏻 and roll safe!
G.O.A.L...... get out and look is the key to perfection ......it's gonna take a some drivers a couple of months to master this perfection
Good trainer showing him to get out as much as he needs !!! And your not fussing
Thx
This video and your patient and knowledge was awesome. Respect 👌🏾
Great back. Great video...
Axel your a good trainer and asset to the company. keep that positive attitude bro!
Thank brother!!
I agree with getting out and looking sometimes. but not sitting In the middle of the parking lot before he even starts backing up. But that's just my OP. But good job teaching and good job by the driver.
Axel, if you put a mountain dew bottle 10 feet in front of the tarp, he wouldn't end up too far to the left side. All you have to do is back around with the front trailer axle. I would do that myself sometimes , just so I would know for sure where the trailer is in relationship to the hole.
He did a great job, and number of backs don't count anymore, but the number of hits do! So many people worry about how long/how many backs, hey backs are free, hitting someone is what costs.
You dam right my friend!!
Bill 777 I’m a new driver. I try to take my time backing and do my get out and looks, but these older drivers be about ready to fight if they think I’m taking too long 🤷🏽♂️ Backing a split axel in a tight truck stop spot can be stressful!! 😂
@@justmyperspective7430 they can either run up and get done up, or they can wait. Either way, i aint gonna worry with them.
For real, number of pull ups and goals don't count against you in the real world, number of hits do. Gotta protect yourself, driving record, and not some impatient asshat who can't understand everybody isn't a pro right out of the gate.
Jay Tea RS 💪🏾
Nice video!! Definitely enjoyed the backing tutorial
Thomas Parham thanks !!!
Good video on backing a spread axle flatbed. Thanks!
Good job best of luck in your trucking career. You will get use to it soon enough!
Thabks bud
Great video Axel! Thanks to all of you trainers who take the time to teach us rookies the right way to do things.
Excellent patience with training
Again another great video. Keep'em coming. Like always be safe out there
David Smith thanks brother
Axel way to teach a new driver...I wish I saw more trainers with different companys doing what you are doing
Thanks!!!
Good stuff man. Im so thinking bout doing this.
Hay bro you are very good teacher I wish I could have a teacher like you as a trainee
You’re an awesome trainer bro! I work for Melton, i see ya’ll everywhere lol i love the trucks ya’ll have.. I struggle with my backing too, we were taught to 12 to 9 but we’re in a 53’ trailer so its annoying.
Wish I had you as a trainer. My trainer didn't do any of this when I was training at TMC.
Same, when I was training at TMC my trainer was trying to do all the backing himself and wanted me to only do the highway and city driving.
@@snownight7 that is my situation currently i am with prime and its annoying the fact i just drive in the highway
@@rolp154 had the same problem while in training now all I did was night driving and he would arrive to all the 01 and 90 and I had to talk to the dm about it
I wanted to work for this company but i was nervous about doing the Physical Agility Test im kinda out of shape and didnt want to not pass and not have a job if i came back.great job on this video
I wish you were my trainer. Very supportive.
You're a good instructor. Most instructors care less if you can park at my company.
Prime inc?
The Freightliner Cascadia violently shakes when jackknifing a flatbed during backing. Any advice on how to stop that would be appreciated.
GOAL!! U are so right!!
Dam your a good trainer man...
Thanks brother!!
You're the best trainer I've ever seen. I'm very interested in coming to TMC. Looking at Maverick too tbh. I want a company that looks after their drivers and with TMC's ESOP - can't really beat that...
That's great and that ESOP is great specially for the future
Go to Maverick.Make more money with P and S Transport.Thry go all over the US.Best I can remember TMC runs only half the country.
I'm escaping CDL school this week. Kentucky test doesn't include alley dock so the school doesn't teach it (it's straight back, offset, parallel). You're trainee is doing good, must have a good trainer :)
Good job u are a good trainer I need help on backing I'm thinking about coming to tmc in march
15 mins, great job
All the strange backs at customers seem to just work for me but t stops have been stressful. Lots of landing early to burn reestate. I think the problem ive been having is that i crank to hard on the initial setup. I'll try the 9 10 next time I land.
Thanks. I'm going to truck driving school.
Bro you have a great attitude, good charisma.
You know how many trainers get mad, take their hat off throw it on the ground and make the student feel like ....Great Job!!! and thanks for being one of the good trainers
I was trained with someone that was yelling at me all the time this is why I don't do that to them because I didn't learn anything and by yelling at trainees they will never learn the right way
Good job driver and good job trainer ... all of us CDL drivers had to learn somehow .... none of us were born knowing what to do .... piss on all the haters because they've forgotten what it was like when they were learning.
As nice as those tmc trucks are is sad to see them running only at 62mph
@Popularity Matters Yes, and insurance is less expensive and less tiring for the driver.
Verses other trucking entities that choose not to realize savings on fuel and insurance? A 62 mph cap is fine with me; sensible business decision imo.
@@frankswain9483 I feel like it's more tiring driving slow f ok r 11hrs
@@archibald2able that way they can afford even cheaper freight
Do they have pass smart?
Meanwhile while he's getting in and out of the truck he's got about eight other trucks backed up waiting for him to back it in
that's the downside to him getting in and out all those times... HOWEVER... at least he won't be one of those dudes on those "trucker parking fail" vids ripping off the front bumper of his neighbors truck
Nothing more entertaining than to watch a flat bed driver back up lol
what about orange cones on each side for that instead of a tarp on one side ? and a couple of two way radios !
There's my baby in the driver's seat!! 😍 Amazing!! 5/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Love you 😚💝💝💝
Sasha Clark hes an awesome driver
Sasha Clark hey did he use to work at Middletown Delaware Amazon ? I think I know him lol we use to pick together
@@ytate7227 Yes, he did work at Amazon before going into trucking. He likes this much better! 😊
Sasha Clark that’s good tell him Rhashon said hi I’ll be coming to TMC with in a month
@@ytate7227 Oh, nice - Yes, I will tell him!
I drove for felcon .
I know they suck. But spread tandems are a hell of a lot harder to back up than a regular dually setup
Toughest backing I ever had to do was a 4 wheel wagon with a tractor. front wheels of the wagon move and front wheels of the tractor move. Your student did a nice job.
Never drove flatbed, how does dumping you rear air help?
Good video, how is the TMC life treating you?
Tmc is treating me great !!!
Good video. You sound like Sam Kinison when you laugh
It’s hard for me to back with those stacks blocking my view. I have to open my door
what is the reason for dumping the air while backing up ?
Sharper turning radius--or backing radius, lol. Spread axle trailers don't turn or corner near as true as closed tandems due to the friction on that front axle; the pivot point is actually on the rear axle. Dumping the air on the rear axle puts the pivot point on the front axle to help shorten the radius--but if you're not careful you can cut a corner too sharp.
I ran with TMC for four years; haven't had a dump axle valve since, but when I did have one it did save my behind a few times.
I was wondering the same thing I’ve never had a dump valve for the trailer
Once he masters that split axel trailer, a tandem will be childs play.
I have 1 year 4 months tractor trailer experience. Would I need to be over the road while doing my training? How does it work?
Yeah
12 and 12 is perfect for a set up
Backing big rig is a science,
Backing is more of an art to me you could hit the same hole 100 times and each time be just a little different.
Geometry at its best!
I'm in Vegas about to get my CDL. I hope I can find a company to work for like TMC
Whats up bro! Listen i have been watching your videos do they have manual trucks
Good job driver
Hes a good student! And you're a great instructor!!
How long have you been training?
I'm starting my CDL course on Monday 6/24/19 and I was seriously considering TMC as my first company. Backing up trailers is really difficult and the part I worried about the most. I hope I get you as a trainer or someone with your training style.
James Stepp what’s your progress so far?
I just keep it tight to the left, that should give you enough on the bkind side till you get straight enough to see.
Saludos Axel desde Dallas tx
Saludos!!
Putting a spread axle flatbed into a hole seems a lot easier to do than a tandem 53 footer box gotta chase those things in those flatbeds don’t runaway from you to fast and can be controlled don’t know if TMC uses 48 footers though
I'm thinking on going to tmc I have never pulled a flatbed before
You will love it bro!!!
Flippin the Trailer? What if you gotta doa 90?
5:25 couldn't he have pulled forward, pulled up a smidgen and corrected? He was on the button, almost.
Once I know where I am on the yellow line, I know where my blindside is.
What can I expect when applying to a company that trains if I've had my CDL for years working as a mechanic with no verifiable driving experience?
With tmc best flatbed training
11:45 I used to wonder how I ruined mudflaps. I used to come back to the yard and get teased which mud flap I've ruined this time.
that what I'm told not too sure how I will do on the backing couse dryvan and flatbed are way different
Starting orientation next week.
What you got here is a panoramic view of how Keppler and Newton calculated work, power and gravity into an elliptical cosine vertex. Perfect art and science !!!
Enjoy the flic.
Thanks TMC.
Good job backing for a new driver but he’s just a tad close to the truck on the right side ? Still damm good for new driver
I had a cdl instructor tell Mr the only time where is a limit to getting out and looking is the road test
No one ever taught me anything about parking .. but I knew there must be some Tricks to it.. 9:00 10:00 stay as close to your parking spot side as you can when setting up . Mark a spot to turn out .. the 45 degree angle between the Landing gear and the firves..
I never pulled a 9 foot spread .. So which axle do you dump air out of? I have been pulling a 53' Reefer you can slide the tandems on them ..
I don't understand the 9 and 10? How does it work?
@@daviddyal3523 I think I was referring to the 9:00 to 10:00 part of the video ..
@@mikeskidmore6754 Does it mean how or where to turn the steering wheel?
Great job driver!
Hopefully I be one of u all driver's in March I'll get out and look and ask questions
You will brother
I like that your a Muñoz I am too
Chevy has a "total view 360" camera now. Can't these trucks use more cameras to make this easier/safer/faster?
Just wondering does GMC aka the Michel corporation still fire any driver or personnel who walks there pretty lawn
If all drivers would do that at truck stops it would be much better out there when trying to park for the or just getting fuel
Dang, Axel, I hope I get a trainer like you when I start trucking this summer. Encouraging and patient.
Methinks TMC needs to give you a greater role in their training department.
Thanks bro !!!
Me to he has patience with his trainees
What do you mean by flipping the trailer? Dumpling air?
Split axel can flip if you take them to far ....my trainer put it close to a 90 and told me to stand on it and rock back and forth and the trailer was almost rolling with me doing that....split axle problems
Trucker Daddy - AKA John in Québec trail has a dump valve on it it dumps the air on the back axle puts the weight on the front axle
Good 👍
By “dropping the air” what do you mean? Lower the airbags?
so it eliminates the back axle now it's only a tool it's not something you use all the time
I wish the Russian kid that hit my trk @1am had been trained this way!! But he was still driving on a Florida permit with no trainer! See the video in my personal videos!
Sorry to hear that I'm very strict to my trainees while they are parking they must do GOAL
You don’t back that much with fb and stepdeck that much right ?
You need to understand this is the right way to train would you like him parking his truck next to yours on his first week of training this is why there's so much accidents on trucks stop
Why did you guys dump the air and how
What I'd really like to see is you finding a parking spot after sunset LOL.An awesome job would have been true if he didn't get out and look 20 times! But I get it, he's a rookie!
If there were more experienced drivers getting out and looking there would be less accidents
Do you road test in automatics or manuals?
Both
Do drivers get to choose between manual and automatic trans? And do you ever get use to only going 62mph? Lol
It what ever trucks they have i still have a manual and sometimes I go 60mph lol you do get use to it
