That would’ve been a huge help when I was first learning! I was oversteering & finally had someone else let me know why I was having such a hard time. I know this is old but your explanation would’ve made that so much easier. I’ll be watching & subscribing as I’m going for my first job next week and can use all help with backing maneuvers!

I’m in trucking school I feel like instructors don’t truly teach you how to drive just enough to passs the dmv
You explained that way better than my CDL school instructors.
After a couple days in class & in a semi truck, I developed a profound respect for truck drivers! We have to perform a straight back, offset back, & 90 degree alley dock in my state. A good straight back is an essential part of all three maneuvers. Even though I was learning how to do this through a CDL class, I felt this video was extremely helpful. Using small steering motions to slowly move the trailer over is crucial. I went from thinking I couldn't do this to I can do this! I passed all three of my CDL tests (pre-trip inspection, backing maneuvers, & road test) on my first try this past Saturday. Moving my 12 o'clock hand towards the drift & then back really helped me get through the backing maneuvers. I thought that I could have done better with my backing, but the third party CDL tester actually complimented me. He's said, "It's been quite some time since he had someone do so well." I wasn't expecting to hear that, but I was thrilled just the same! Regardless of the maneuver - once I got those rows of cones in both mirrors, I knew I had it! Thanks again for your help offered in this video clip.

@RushinTruckin
Жыл бұрын
The alley dock is very difficult to explain via text but I'll try. Start with your tandems at the 43' mark and your trailer bumper 10' out and 10' away from the closest corner of the spot you want to put it in. Before moving at all, turn your wheels all the way to the right. Roll back slowly holding the wheels there. Watch the trailer tires. The second they go from rolling backwards to sliding only, STOP! Cut the wheels all the way to the left to straighten things out. This is where it gets very difficult to explain... timing and corrections. Each trucks turning radius is slightly different which means they straighten out quicker or slower than the other. At this point, your trailer tires should be in 1/4 line with the opening of the spot. Now you need to pay attention to your tail swing. *this is where experience and practice come into play to be able to anticipate what's going to happen and how/when to correct it.* Problem scenario 1 and how to fix it: if you notice the nearest corner of the trailer is turning too much and is going to cross over the boundary line (ie hit the truck in the spot next to you), STOP! Turn your wheels all the way to the right then slowly move forward about 6' then STOP. Turn your wheels all the way to the left then slowly back up again. What this does is reduce the jack knife angle. If done correctly, you should only have to do this once, twice max! Problem scenario 2: you notice your trailer 2/4 isn't turning enough and will cross over the far boundary (ie hit the truck in spot on the other side of the trailer), STOP! With the wheels still turned all the way to the left, pull forward 4'-6', STOP, turn your wheels all the way to the right then back up 1' NO FURTHER! Turn your wheels all the way to left and slowly back up. What this does is increase the jack knife angle to get the trailer to turn quicker. Using the above information, you should be able to compete the maneuver. VERIFY with the person giving you the cdl test but I believe you get 3 goals and 3 or more pull ups (depending if you used any on your previous maneuvers) You only have 70' from the opening of the spot which may not sound like a lot but it's plenty. I hope this is clear enough for you to understand

Bro okay I'm like right there with you. I'm in CDL school and I just learned to "rock the baby" when your going straight back. Just rock the wheel slowly back and fourth, never turning the wheel past 3 and 9 o'clock, and don't forget if the trailer is going left turn right. Another thing that helped me is putting my right hand at 12 o'clock and leaving it so that way I always know where 100% straight is at.
@RushinTruckin

Mac McKewin 99% accurate. If you turn right when the trailers going left, the trailer will turn to the left quicker, not straighten out

I watched this video during my lunch break knowing I would be backing a semi trailer for the first time this afternoon. This clip was a huge help to me. My backing up straight went better than expected. When I saw the rear trailer wheels appear out further, I turned towards them to move them back in. This is the only backing that I have done so far, but this was huge help! Not a fan of double clutching yet, but I will get there! Thanks for helping us new drivers!

I am learning back up this week, and am really struggling. Tomorrow when I go I am gonna practice this lesson. You made my concept very clear thanks. God bless you my brother.
This is the best technique video I've seen for hand positioning and how the movements influence the trailer. I haul boats and typically have great visibility when backing. Driving a TT for the CDL test was a very different experience relying exclusively on side mirrors and flying blind on offsets. With two days left until test day, you saved me. My sincere thanks for posting this. 🤜🤛
This is the best demo I’ve seen yet; simple, and very effective! Thanks Sir!

Thank you so much! I have really been beating myself up over the straight back. You helped me and I am appreciative!
This is the 5th video I’ve come across this evening and I am appalled with how many students come to the comments to state that their instructors did a poor job explaining to them what you guys come on KZread and do an AMAZING job with. I’m in trucking school right now and my instructors are not making it any easier for me with how impatient they are with my backing. After watching this video, I am far more confident that I will do better tomorrow! Thank you!

You just helped me with this maneuver for my second day because I was over steering when I saw the trailer drift. I’m over at NETTTS in R.I.

Great! You’re welcome
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us beginning truck driving school. I’ve been in training and know trainer has given me as much details as this video you have made. Thanks so much for making the straight backing maneuver more easy and understanding to us beginners.
This helped me understand so much. I was definitely one of those students turning my wheel hard. Thanks
I passed my road test because of this video. Thank you.

Yay!!! You’re welcome
To you so much for the tip bro🙏🏽 I'm definitely gonna use it on my retest..I actually failed my test today on the straight line backing but this tip was very much needed.. whenever I seen my trailer drifting I was overturning way too much for too long as you mentioned in the vid and it just kept snaking..The instructor was really cool and gave me extra chances but I just couldn't get it right..I wish I would have know this tip here for sure!!!.

How’d your retest go for you??
Man, thank you so much. You explain so easily and clear.. I’m in middle of getting my CDL, used your idea and got it. Straight back..
Today was day 3 of on the field training. I aced my air brakes which was a huge relief but struggled with this straight back for the first time today. Luckily we have great instructors but watching this video definitely helps too, we’ll see how tomorrow goes🤞
Man! So glad to read the comments and see I'm not the only one to screw it up totally on my first day of yard training My trainer asked me to get in the truck and went on to guide the other students and i was driving this big load all over on the yard cluelessly Thank you sir gonna try the same things that you taught on Friday. I feel way better now.

Update: i am a class A CDL driver. Cleared my test last Thursday. 😇🙏
This video was amazing. I did my first straight line backing today and I was having trouble with correction. Steer towards the drifting side. Brilliant! Thank you.
Awesome tutorial. Thank you very much. I spent the whole week trying to understand the concept but couldn't. Thanks to your video, now I have a clearer idea.
This might seem to some to be the most obvious things to do, position hands at 12:00/9:00/3:00. My trainer didn't offer the idea, and I was Struggling!! Was frustrated as Hell, then found this video. Problem Solved immediately!! Thank you RT!

You actually break down the steps I love this video 👍🏾
Thanks great content my first time behind the wheel today I was all over the place. The trainer just told me to steer right and left while I was holding the wheel at 3 and 9. The way you explained it was perfect in will try this tomorrow. Thanks again!
