If it was a Deepgrove place in ATS, I still would NOT be there today. Those are **bleeping** unreachable because the engines are too weak for taking on even just a 10% grade if you get a job with 100+k lbs oversize load... Only time I ever had an issue like that in ETS2 was in a quarry with the skilled parking option set an the spot being on a ridiculously high hill - and I just have a 600hp truck there with a single drive axle currently. Just had to switch to safe parking to "fix" it... XD Why do they keep giving me jobs to deliver heavy stuff to places where the trucks basically are incapable of going to? XD PS: On my first oversize load job in ATS I couldn't even get out of the place I started in because of that... and those trailers with the jeep and booster are an absolute nightmare, simply because you only get one try as they're impossible to reverse due to immediate jackknifing even in the slightest attempt... :D
Me too, but I never really had to back them up. We had one guy who would back his rear box into the shop at a 90-degree angle. All the mechanics would come out to watch him do it.
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.
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.
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.
People ask me why I back up so slow. I tell them you only get one chance not to hit something. I always maneuver slow. Just in case. And after 30 years I'm not afraid to get out and look
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.......
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'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 😂
Holy smokes, one of the better truck drivers in the world right there. Backing up a single trailer many fail at, but a B double? That was amazing to me.
Did it for 25 years. Practice practice By the way its much harder to back anything in ATS than RL. Just the nature of sim games. Love that game though.
@@festersmith8352ik this is a old comment but I plan on going to get my cld in some months and I play ats and other sum games all the time, does it help translate in anyway?
@@festersmith8352Just curious, what makes the sims harder than real life? I've been enjoying ATS and ETS2 so much that I've been thinking about getting my CDL
@@Landon-u4u The mirror quality (resolution/detail) is far less, than real life. As well as the field of view. And as usual, your perception of a 3D world on a 2D screen is a bit off. The physics and concept are the same though. Unless you have no personal life, I seriously would rethink, or at least do some serious research, before getting a CDL, and making trucking life your way of life.
@@festersmith8352 I agree with those points, it's not quite the real thing, but my main use is just to get familiar with backing, how the trailer tracks, etc. Thank you for the advice, too. I don't think I'd make a career out of it, but I do think I might regret not trying it. I'll do my research before committing to it though
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.
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 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!
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
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 👍👍😎🇦🇺
As a former truck driver I must commend this young driver on handling this backup like a pro. One trailer is a breeze compared to two trailers. Great driving.
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.
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 🇺🇸
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.
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 🇦🇺
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!
This guy looks like the last person I'd expect to be a trucker, looks like the guy in the office I gotta sign papers for. Respect, I could NEVER do this! I can barely backsomething up lookin at it in a lift lmao.
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
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.
Good job, ive backed B-trains a lot myself an after you learn a few tricks i like them for the challenge. Ive pulled doubles till i retired in 23 an the B-train was always my favorite.
That's what we call talent! Backing up a single deck would be very hard already When i saw it was a double decker, i was thinking how it's possible! I play Euro truck, and i never managed to park a double like this. I always pick the easy option. lol. When i was much younger, i saw a driver parking a double on a tight space and i didn't know it was even possible. That's art, for sure!
Are you kidding me?!! That's insane. I've pulled doubles for 15 years but rarely had to back them up. It's ridiculously difficult. This is the most impressive thing I've ever see.
I came up in a construction family and learned very young how to back up trucks and trailers. The day after I got my 'A' license at 16, I was pulling out of our construction yard pulling dozers or other heavy equipment. What folks may not understand is that this driver is a seasoned professional and what may seem amazing is just another day for him.. I left construction but I still have backing up skills. It really comes in handy when we pull our trailer into an RV park and I can easily back into the weirdest spots. Sometimes the old guys wait for someone to back their trailer in a space and I always get high marks from them.
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.
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 👏 😉.
My best friend was a Truck Driver with over a million miles under his belt when he died, and he had no accidents on his record, Mike wasn't a good driver, he was one of the best if not THE best. This guy brought back a lot of memories, he is in the same class as Mike, a true professional.
Just stumbled on to these types of videos. (Truck drivers are awesome!!!!!) It's something to watch this level of skill.... maybe even a blessing. My job is not as hard as I thought it was after watching this. Fantastic performance.
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 got one that's similar, add the traffic makes for a wild spot. Gotta love Queens NYC. Not sure where that is? These are the days we earn are bread👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 good job man
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.
Hey man how are you. My name is Louie and man I admire the way you handled backing in to that tight spot. I am going to go to school to learn and become a truck driver. So wish me some luck.
I still don't know what's more impressive. The complete and utter skill shown here or that ginormous absolute unit of a cane that the shift stick is in that truck :D
I've backed Super B Trains into some crazy places, but this one takes the cake. Great job! The only thing I would have done different is, I would not have obscured the bottom of my left mirror with that Go Pro. I'm a real stickler with my mirrors. If my boss puts a sticker on the window in front of my mirror, I pull it off. Don't obstruct my mirrors!
The greatest respect brother… Your attitude…is applaudable! Attitude..is more important than facts! You made me laugh re ‘one shot’…as that was a nickname given to me…at least more often than not. 46 years I spent truckin….so a pleasure to see ‘perfection’ put into practice as I have learnt of. Kia ora (be well) from N.Z 🏍🚛😎🌏💜
Dude, so, I have been driving for Amazon for the past 6 months or so, and I’m not gonna lie, I’ve actually watched this video the past few mornings just to hype me up for a day of backing into and out of a bunch of sketchy country driveways hahaha. Just watching your face as you’re checking your mirrors and re-adjusting as needed has made me feel less self conscious about when I need to re-adjust, and mind you, the truck I’m driving is probably less than a quarter of the length as this b-train. You’re awesome, man, thanks for giving me the lift that I didn’t even know I needed!
awesome job, sometimes you don’t have space at all and everything works out perfect and sometimes space like crazy and you need a few times to get where you should be😄
fellow truck driver here. You did a great work Mate keeping it cool and study. Next time once you block the lanes your pure focus should be that tree and the gutter
It's really overworking at first because of how fast they offset. Once you can jive with them a bit you can make turns that a 53 never could. There's just so much more steering than a 53. It's a constant chase to catch them.
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.
This was ten months ago. I’d still be there today.
😂
Me too!!
Same!! Id be on my 786th pull up right now

Drove for UPS for years and backing doubles to a dock became routine. This guy puts me to shame. Just flat out impressive.
Me too, but I never really had to back them up. We had one guy who would back his rear box into the shop at a 90-degree angle. All the mechanics would come out to watch him do it.
Ironically, backing doubles came to me more naturally than a single trailer. well, for straight-lining anyway
I would never go back.
Its not hard to put you to shame.
I hear that. I didn’t drive doubles every day but I was more than capable. This guy makes it look easy as backing a car into a parking spot
This kid is good. Hats off to you. You know your stuff.
🎉

It never ceases to amaze me how much skill these guys have.
I came up in a construction family and learned very young how to back up trucks and trailers. The day after I got my 'A' license at 16, I was pulling out of our construction yard pulling dozers or other heavy equipment. What folks may not understand is that this driver is a seasoned professional and what may seem amazing is just another day for him.. I left construction but I still have backing up skills. It really comes in handy when we pull our trailer into an RV park and I can easily back into the weirdest spots. Sometimes the old guys wait for someone to back their trailer in a space and I always get high marks from them.
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.
Awesome skills. Going in blind. Not one of them would even spot a special job like this. Hats off to you.
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 👏 😉.
My best friend was a Truck Driver with over a million miles under his belt when he died, and he had no accidents on his record, Mike wasn't a good driver, he was one of the best if not THE best. This guy brought back a lot of memories, he is in the same class as Mike, a true professional.
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!!
Just stumbled on to these types of videos. (Truck drivers are awesome!!!!!) It's something to watch this level of skill.... maybe even a blessing. My job is not as hard as I thought it was after watching this. Fantastic performance.
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 got one that's similar, add the traffic makes for a wild spot. Gotta love Queens NYC. Not sure where that is? These are the days we earn are bread👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 good job man
It`s so Amazing to look how You push the Train in this small Entrance. A big fat Double Love Like 😉👍👍
I admire your calmness, got out and looked also Brill! Xx
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.
Hey man how are you. My name is Louie and man I admire the way you handled backing in to that tight spot. I am going to go to school to learn and become a truck driver. So wish me some luck.
Thanks for watching! Good luck with your trucking school!
@@callthemall thank you very much.
I still don't know what's more impressive. The complete and utter skill shown here or that ginormous absolute unit of a cane that the shift stick is in that truck :D
I've backed Super B Trains into some crazy places, but this one takes the cake. Great job! The only thing I would have done different is, I would not have obscured the bottom of my left mirror with that Go Pro. I'm a real stickler with my mirrors. If my boss puts a sticker on the window in front of my mirror, I pull it off. Don't obstruct my mirrors!
I always assumed b-train drivers would unhitch and do each trailer individually. This is impressive!! Learn something new every day
That would take so much more time, space and effort.
Besides it's not the hardest configuration to back up in reverse. B-train is medium difficulty.
The greatest respect brother…
Your attitude…is applaudable!
Attitude..is more important than facts!
You made me laugh re ‘one shot’…as that was a nickname given to me…at least more often than not.
46 years I spent truckin….so a pleasure to see ‘perfection’ put into practice as I have learnt of.
Kia ora (be well) from N.Z

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 !!
This guys got skills ! People have no idea how hard it is to reverse a double. I'd have difficulty doing what he did ! Badass !
Utmost RESPECT. I can’t even back a car trailer. Well done mate. You are a true professional
Dude, so, I have been driving for Amazon for the past 6 months or so, and I’m not gonna lie, I’ve actually watched this video the past few mornings just to hype me up for a day of backing into and out of a bunch of sketchy country driveways hahaha. Just watching your face as you’re checking your mirrors and re-adjusting as needed has made me feel less self conscious about when I need to re-adjust, and mind you, the truck I’m driving is probably less than a quarter of the length as this b-train. You’re awesome, man, thanks for giving me the lift that I didn’t even know I needed!
Thank you for the kind words friend!
The guy is top notch. He knows how to apply “Lesson #1” well : Keep the rig as straight as possible at all time. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
awesome job, sometimes you don’t have space at all and everything works out perfect and sometimes space like crazy and you need a few times to get where you should be😄
well done sir youre driving is first class
Wow! I didn't realise a B-train was two big trailers. Hats off to you!!
fellow truck driver here. You did a great work
Mate keeping it cool and study. Next time once you block the lanes your pure focus should be that tree and the gutter
I don't know how you make backing in with a double trailer look like that, alot of skill right there man.
Mad respect to you . Backing in a 53 footer blind to traffic is nerve wracking enough let alone this . Super nice
It's really overworking at first because of how fast they offset. Once you can jive with them a bit you can make turns that a 53 never could. There's just so much more steering than a 53. It's a constant chase to catch them.
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 love a man who cares more for the gear than his own pride. LEGEND
That’s very good, we need more drivers like you out there, the roads a scary place
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.
Well done champ! It generally takes a lot of practice to back a vehicle with multiple articulation points like this. It's clearly in your DNA... 👍
