B-TRAIN BACKING INTO A TIGHT SPACE
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
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!

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
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.

@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 ;-)

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.

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.
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!
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!!!
Always amazing... well done. It's fun to tag along as you practice your art.
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 👍👍😎🇦🇺
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!
Man the driver is so smooth. 👍 would be a privilege to have a good driver like that. One of the best of the best
I've seen your driving skills in past vids but once again my hat off to you sir!
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.
Brilliant bit of reversing into that yard. Very skillfully done. Made it look easy.😂

You are so right on the backing. That was a tight location for you & the other driver. Great job.
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.
You got skills man. Most people can’t even backup a 40
You just get shit done plain and simple lol, inspiring

Excellent job bro! I just enjoyed seeing you park B-train while hearing to that beautiful engine making the symphony.
One word: Skills
Like a pro, good job dude.
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.
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.
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.

Awesome skills. Going in blind. Not one of them would even spot a special job like this. Hats off to you.
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 👊
You da man! I drove cabovers 48 state with no power steering back in the day, this is precision at its finest!
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.
Incredible work. Thank you, sir.
This has just blown my tiny mind! Amazing work sir 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
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 👏 😉.
You made that look easy young fella, nice piece of driving, good example to others. Greetings from Australia, Home of the RoadTrains.
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.
Top job mate well done, I used to have to back road trains into the same sort tight little mongrel space’s so it was a pleasure watching this 👍👍👍
That is so much freaking fun to watch you do that!!!! (from a 42ft 5th wheel RV'r)
I've got a twin steer with quad trailer, I learnt in a super dog to start off with, days I do this, then days I don't, it sure as hell keeps me grounded 😂 confidence is the key, over confident is the killer 😂 I'll leave this stuff to you thanks 👍 thanks for carrying the folk that can't 😂
I could back doubles pretty good but nothing like you, talk about skill, great job.
Wonderfully done! Tip of my cap to you sir!
Awesome work brother👍. It took me a little time to back up b Trains. Once a person understands how they work. Just as easy as a 53 ft deck.
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.
Nice job, I really like how you checked if any traffic was on the road.
It`s so Amazing to look how You push the Train in this small Entrance. A big fat Double Love Like 😉👍👍
You made that manuver look like anyone could do it. Well done sir.
That's some top notch driving, bud! Very impressive to watch!
Great job young man. I hauled trailer trains back in my day but they were 2- 20 ft container trailers with a single axle dolly not locked between. If you have the room, the longer the trailers the easier it is to back them up. Your rear trailer sits on the rear of the first trailers wheel assembly. much easier. Practise makes perfect.
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…
Holy shit, I drove truck, never pulled a B train, I would still be there backing that thing up. Great skills young man. 👍
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😄
You freaking rock mate !!! Incredible job , your hell of a driver !!! 👏👌🤘🫶👍✌️
This guy is so smooth rumor has it his heart rate actually goes down when he’s backing into difficult spots!
Wow you are awesome most guys couldn't back in one trailer you did it with ease great job !!!
The offset in the yard is what thru me off Ya damn near got er in one hit.....dang it Keep er bangin' young brother All the best from out west
I think that you should share your knowledge by teaching others how to do this! Fantastic!!!
smart move, getting out and looking at the clearance of the tree. I saw a guy back one of those off a street turning 90° into the employee parking lot where they unloaded. Hardly had room for the hi-lo to get around. I think he had more trouble pulling out because of cars that parked on the road.
Nice job...like that you don't let your truck idle...smart!

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.
