B-TRAIN BACKING INTO A TIGHT SPACE

- Hello guys and welcome to today's video! I've been to this delivery before, and even have an older video of it! But today we almost get into the place in one straight shot! Come along for the adventure....
Side note, I wasn't intending on releasing this video right now but my last video I've uploaded twice now (and with it being over an hour long, the upload takes me multiple days on this old rural wireless internet) and each time it fails during processing, so here's a little video to tie you over with!
2006 Peterbilt 379

B-Train Flatbed Trailers 
Авто/Мото
Drove for UPS for years and backing doubles to a dock became routine. This guy puts me to shame. Just flat out impressive.
This kid is good. Hats off to you. You know your stuff.
👍
I admire your patience driver. You set a good example for new drivers out there who think they have to rush through manoeuvres like this for the benefit of others who are only thinking about themselves anyway. You start rushing and that’s when things can go south pretty damn quick. Take your time and do it right the first time.
I wholeheartedly agree …
After 38 years trucking and backing in all kinds of situations with one trailer. I must say that was awsome. Cool calm and in total control I tip my hat to you sir. Well done.
👍
This guy backs a b- train like no other👍
I've just started backing up b trains and enjoy watching him. He crushes it. They offset against each other so fast. As soon as they start to go they're gone. No catching them. Just pull ahead and try again 😂
Yea he's alright.. kiwis back the best
@@kanewatene1112 don't be that person mate. You make us all look like know it alls with comments like that.
@@bush600r2 every country has there real drivers.. kiwis are the top though
@@bush600r2 backing is 101.. learn to go backwards first before you learn to go through gears.. standard procedure
I know it isn't because I've pulled B trains, but you've made it look effortless!!! Comes from experience!!!!
Ain't nothing but a thing backing for this guy . Pretty slick ! I say he should challenge himself when backing have a couple well build women in really small bikinis jogging at the front of his truck.
dude is like 18 years old what experience
@@Anticipat0r yeah he looks young, probably good genes.
😅
👍
This guy is good...real good, that said he sat there and analyzed the situation and shared the thought process with us the viewers. Proper planning and setup and knowing how to shove this thing backwards gets it done every time. Always amazing at how he can put that thing into wherever he wants.
@Kenneth James.....well said, but putting it in is one thing, getting it out again a completely different story (when backing up, you make the "rear-steering" of the combo your advantage (it doesn't cut corners), but coming out, your trailer(s) will cut the corner...and you won't necessarily always have the space for a wide turn. I've had situations where the only way to get my T/T out of a certain customer's dock was to drop the trailer, swing around the building with the tractor and re-hook the trailer to pull out that way.....all other drivers refused to go there because of the extra hassle....but I enjoyed doing it ;-)
@@andrep8287 If you can back in you can pull out, been doing it for almost 35 years and never had a problem. Now pulling straight in and trying to back out is a little more tricky sometimes.
I was told that by a trainee, I went from TT to front discharge mixer operations and my trainee was sitting on the fender watching everything I was doing. He said it looks like I'm taking mental pictures throughout the job, I really like guys and gals like this who talk through and teach instead of critique and yell.
I drove 14 years....I have put it in some tight spaces, You have some serious skills! I enjoyed watching you put this in it was great!!! ROCK ON!!!
Being a trucker myself, european, with over 40 years of experience, I can honestly say that is some of the best I have seen....This... is Art in Motion.... The concentration of the face, say it all, so does the smile at the end when he acknowledged himself for a good job.... Thx... man... I for one wanna see more you are a natural.......
LOVE The View Thanks Stay Safe
👍
And I have trouble backing up a pickup truck. We’ll, there’s one job I need not apply for. This guy is an expert, and he makes it look easy.
👍
Absolutely brilliant piece of reversing and you make it look so easy which any driver knows it isn't. Well done sir.
And the man at the back doing it right as well, no input apart from "Stop" at the end. A pleasure to watch, thanks.
👍
TBH I would be speechless watching this Picasso of reversing too 😂
Respect! Others don't even make it with just the solo tractor and you shove the B train in there! Greetings from Germany/Landshut ,Bavaria
That was my thought exactly! Many couldn't do it with a single semi behind.
Incredible skill, no sweat, no panic straight in there...well done.
This is honestly so impressive. If you time lapsed this I feel like I could see it in a Daily Dose of Internet video to be honest
Put the go pro on the tree or across the street.
It’s a skill that takes a bit of practice but its good fun (and stressful)

WHAT A GREAT BACKUP, CALLTHEMALL!!!! KUDOS TO YOUR EXCELLENT DRIVING SKILLS!!! CHHERS & KEEP SAFE!!!! 🥰🥰🦅🦅🦅🦅
I’ve been driving a rig for over 24 years now.. That kid is seriously impressive.
Kid's a driver. Respect!
👍
You did good kid !! Impressed with your planning, & patience...you have the right temperament, intelligence, talent, & experience. Like your work.
This was ten months ago. I’d still be there today.
😂
Me too!!
I genuinely struggle to reverse a van+trailer sometimes. You make this look like it's nothing. Good job, dude!
It is nothing when you’ve been doing a long time. You wouldn’t even imagine some of the places we get trailers, this looks easy in comparison.
@@jeff7764the classic, “yea we get trucks here everytime “ and u only see box trucks, i hate it so much
@@bladi-senpai9398 yup you got that right brother!
An absolute Masterclass in B double reversing. Nothing more to be said.
😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I am no trucker, but I admire those skills.
You're one incredible trailer backer. I know some guys that it takes them about ten minutes to back a single trailer into a dock that with no other trailers to either side.
👍
Great job, you make it look it so easy! You can back up that B-train better then some people can drive there little car forward.
😂😂😂😂😂 true dat!!
👍
Once you catch onto it, a B train is more maneuverable than a conventional trailer. The key is knowing when to catch the trailer to avoid jack-knifing. Watching some dump truck drivers pulling wagons is pretty impressive too. Tight spaces show who the good drivers are.
Sometimes threading a needle takes two tries.
Amazing, it’s as if you and your rig , are one.
Skill! Pure skill! Matt got some serious skills! Nicely done dude :)
Great work, some of these places don't make it easy for access. I've been there done that but only with a extendible semi,you're doing great with the B train. Stay safe!
Brilliant bit of reversing into that yard. Very skillfully done. Made it look easy.😂
👍
Always amazing... well done. It's fun to tag along as you practice your art.
Great job! Looking forward to the next one
It's been a couple of years since the last time I saw one of your videos. You have really improoved your backing skills. Congrats!!!
I've seen your driving skills in past vids but once again my hat off to you sir!
Great job backing into a tight spot. The only experience I have is a long time ago I worked a summer doing fleet trailer maintenance (brakes, bearings, general repairs) and would move trailers around the yard. I can't imagine trying to back a B-train anywhere
👍
It’s all I ever wanted to be when I grew up, driving big rigs. My life was led down a different path however but the dream has never faded. Love watching the skill of this trade.
👍
Excellent job!
I always enjoyed backing into tight spots like this without splitting the train. I delivered to a roofing supplier often and I was the only driver who backed in. There was always cars parked on both shoulders, and I would loose sight of the back of the trailer behind the car parked closest to the driveway. So fun!
Top job mate, super impressive, I'm a retired Semi Trailer driver ( 40 year's on the road ) from Australia, so g,day from one Truckie to another Truckie.
Again, very impressive mate 👍👍😎🇦🇺
Well done! I've pulled B trains around New Zealand since the 80's and had my share of tight places. So many yards pre date B trains and aren't "user friendly ". I was impressed with your style. Too bad someone couldn't cut that branch off ... would make life much simpler.
Awesome skills. Going in blind. Not one of them would even spot a special job like this. Hats off to you.
Man the driver is so smooth. 👍 would be a privilege to have a good driver like that. One of the best of the best
You got skills man. Most people can’t even backup a 40
This man is better at backing b trains than i am at driving in general 😂
I miss the small side windows. I was so bummed out when daylight doors became the standard in the industry. Used to be just an option. Now it seems to be the norm. The smaller more traditional side windows look so gangster now when you see a truck with them. Such a cool look.
Easy peasy 😂 I've never seen a trailer like the one that backed out thats got to be an East Coast thing.
It’s a Canada thing 😉
@@callthemall Never seen one out here in BC then again we are not allowed to have drop axles.
Bit like farmers reversing four wheel wagons. Lots of practice .
Good job! Truck sounds great!
This young man is great backing. I have over 20 years experience with straight trailers and don't think I could have done that as good as he did. STAY SAFE OUT THERE DRIVER.
You just get shit done plain and simple lol, inspiring
Dan kid, you’re good 👍
👍
Great Job Brother!!! Drove for 19 years. You gotta love those tight ones!!! You made it look easy!!!
You are so right on the backing. That was a tight location for you & the other driver. Great job.
Yep, gotta say that was pretty good reversing.
I've been driving truck for 6 years and randomly got a set of trains one week. That was the worst week of my career and I almost quit this industry. I will never ever pull trains again. So, much respect for those drivers out there that can do it.
👍
That was a pleasure to watch...they are not easy, but you made it look easy.These combinations are a big thing here in NZ, but for me I would bugger that up big time....hats of to you.
Incredible work. Thank you, sir.
Like a pro, good job dude.
You seem like a very delightful spirit - one can feel the pride and satisfaction you get out of your passion.
Best wishes from Austria!
👍
Very well done Matt, a significant improvement compared to last time, keep it up!
Wow! I didn't realise a B-train was two big trailers. Hats off to you!!
One word:
Skills
A European truck + trailer would've been nice for those tight back ups, I know that a Canadian guy bought a lot of scanias last year and is driving them out in Canada, great job backing up into that space, would like to drive a Peterbilt one day to see the difference, just looking at the video it seems like a lot
I used to drive a Pete 379, and I can tell you that they look cool, but they are 40 years out of date. They are claustrophobic with their narrow low roofed cabs. But the thing that concerns me is their floors are 3 or 4 inches lower than any other truck. People think that guys sit low in a Pete because it looks cool. Nope! It's because of the low floor! If I set my seat at normal height my feet dangle in mid air. To reach the floor I need to set the seat low. The problem then is, I can't even see the hood, or that nice hood ornament! Give me a modern Cascadia or even a Columbia any day. Ya' I know. They don't look as cool, but at least you can see where you're going.
@@SternDrive Prefer a Volvo myself. A Volvo with the same wheelbase gets into tight spots effortlessly compared to a 379 not to mention the room and comfort. My company buys new 379s for the resale value. Most people may not believe it but a Volvo does pretty good when the pavement ends and the grades get a little steep as long as you don't hit a big rock.
@@thr0nic probably not, but Navistar is part of the traton group and Scania is also part of that group so they probably get parts from Navistar or Scania Mexico
Great job!!!I like how you visualized the whole scenario in your head...thats important instead of just winging it and have to make 20 pull-ups!!
When u know how to truly something you are so much more relaxed. This bloke shows how being confident and relaxed in his ability let’s him do this great work. Good skills bro 🇦🇺
The most important thing on backing up a tractor trailer is preplanning, knowing where you will place your wheels of your trailer/trailers and your front tractor axle. This guy has pre-planned his moves that why he makes it to look easy, BUT IT WAS NOT EASY. I have been driving for 36 years and I have to admit that you are a great driver! Driving a tractor trailer is not only knowledge and experience but also a talent! That is the difference between a good driver and an excellent one.
It`s so Amazing to look how You push the Train in this small Entrance. A big fat Double Love Like 😉👍👍
You are the only guy on earth that can back B-trains has easy has driving down a straight road amazing job Matt
👍
Now that’s some good back right there!!!
Lovely to watch. Looking forward to gettin er done tomorrow! Cheers - stay safe
All you truckers do a stand up job great video sir !!! WOW great job backing up you had lots of practice for sure !! That was a very tight fit !!
Dang man that’s incredible. I admit I’ve only driven buses in Chicago and other big cities but wow I would still be trying to park that thing. Thank you that was awesome to watch.
Sir that was very, very, impressive i take my hat of to you.
I've been driving trucks in the UK 🇬🇧 for many year's and 100% doubt I could even contemplate that flawless manover, when we come to the USA on our vacation i love to admire those lovely Rigs, once again sir extremely well done 👏 👏 👏 👏 👍👌😀🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 God bless you and the USA 🇺🇸
That’s very good, we need more drivers like you out there, the roads a scary place
Nice job, I really like how you checked if any traffic was on the road.
I used to have a duce-n-a half on my hook and it's towing a generator trailer and it was a challenge backing those up, but you made these doubles slide right in, Im impressed.
Wonderfully done! Tip of my cap to you sir!
Excellent job bro! I just enjoyed seeing you park B-train while hearing to that beautiful engine making the symphony.
Dude, you win! That was amazing!
You made it look easy brother👍👍👍 good job👍👍👍
You da man! I drove cabovers 48 state with no power steering back in the day, this is precision at its finest!
Well done, that was brilliant. Best wishes and happy travels.
Good lad, it’s always awesome to get a wagon in on one pass but sometimes it’s just not possible. I know there’s self pride and proving how good you are to drivers watching, but getting her in there unscathed and under full control is what it’s all about 👊
I couldn't help but laugh near the end because I didn't know how else to react. I didn't think you were going to be able to do that so cleanly. I am so impressed. I could watch you drive all day long, for real. Also, welcome to Toronto LOL.
Bravo! An impressive performance at the wheel!!
B trains are darn difficult to back up. I took a long time to do it the first time I had to back one up. I was so darn nervous and over corrected so many times. Eventually got pretty good at it, staying calm and planning makes all the difference. At least it did for me. Nice job young man.
That was hard. Great job! Great channel. That you drive this classic.
This has just blown my tiny mind! Amazing work sir 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Nice job...like that you don't let your truck idle...smart!
You made that look easy young fella, nice piece of driving, good example to others.
Greetings from Australia, Home of the RoadTrains.
Amazing driving!! I sit here with my mouth open watching this video!!! So Cool!!! Keep On Truckin 😎👍
Impressive driving. Takes a ton of practice to make it look that easy. About half of my 20 years of driving was with B-trains and I doubt I’d be able to get in there that quickly.
This guy is so smooth rumor has it his heart rate actually goes down when he’s backing into difficult spots!
damn, that's some real skill, putting a single trailer in that hole would not be easy, can't imagine putting doubles in there
I had to watch 😆. I've just retired from 50 years of B trains and tight delivery spots. You made it look easy but folks won't know the practice we get 😁.
There were places I backed into and even surprised myself 😆.
Great job....you're hired 👏 😉.
Nicely done
I didn't even know it was possible to back those things up, amazing.
Awesome job dude
That's some top notch driving, bud! Very impressive to watch!
Nice job....assessed the maneuver, lined up properly and used minimum inputs ...spot on .
Excellent Skills and Thank You for sharing!
I don’t know how long you have been driving,,,,but excellent job !!! It’s nice to see a young guy taking pride in his job…I just retired after 44 years, and about 4.4 million miles…I’ll be watching more…
