Thanks Trucker Steve, this is a common sense real look and steer it in way that I can understand. Much better than most school taught mechanical robot hope and poke test failures if sheer luck is not with you.

I was taught to make a complete L then left to swing it around. Your way of teaching/explaining this is wayyyyyy better!!!!

Video has helped me. I’m going for my CDL’s in June thanks

I feel like if I can't demonstrate the concept correctly or master my setup. It will be a lot of unnecessary corrections. Thanks for this video Mr. Steve. I finally see what my issues are on the alley dock. I have been hitting n missing on the range everyday. But, having patience is the key needed on my end. I appreciate you! &Thanks again

I oversteer soo much and this helped me understand what it looks like when I do at certain angles and what it means to “ chase the trailer” when it gets away from you. My dad and trainer kept saying “ chase the trailer” and i did NOT know when or why i should be doing it. This was a great video. Out of all the videos i watched your made me understand the concept of backing

Thank you so much for your comments. I am sure you have viewed the alley dock videos. The more you practice this , the better you will get.

Steve I just found your teachings let me say I been driving for 8 months I am using your technique from here on out..your the best teacher and you can hear the compassion you have for us newbies., can you do a 45 degree angle video if you have not already done so.. 😊😊😊

Hopefully soon on the 45 degree but that like the offset. So when we alley dock, the driver may be at a 45 degree angle when backing into the dock. Thank you for your kind words. This week we have rain but I plan to do more backing videos. ASAP

Thank you Steve! I've been trying to figure out how to do pull-ups without going too far forward. This really helped!

Hell, yeah, that’s real good. That video was good.

The tail swing on the blindside always scares me. Been doing this over 7 years and i take it serious everytime

Very good

I love it every time I can accomplish this maneuver without pulling up. Going nice and slow and making a lot of small adjustments. I alley dock 4 times a shift so I get a lot of practice.

Some Students are testing next week and are still having problems with the Alley Dock. This is not for everyone but going slow with small backs and using the Right to keep the trailer on time into the Alley.

Yes , many CDL Students oversteer. This video may be of help - slow down! I teach my students not to oversteer and be in control of the trailer. CDL students are not all trained in the same manner.

Hey gud evening I've been out for a little while

It’s better to hung your driver side then pull up straighten it up that be 1 maybe 2 pull-ups of most in truck stops they going be cursing you out doing it this way no offense 😂
