This Trucking Game may not be a view from inside the cab, but it's the most realistic physics that a truck makes where you get to understand how to truck operates in reverse. American Truck Simulator (ATS)and European Trucking Simulator 2 (ETS2) are the best trucking games that you get, and I recommend that you play them, but my game is created for people to just get used to reversing a trailer.
I have heard from so many users that truck schools across the country use my game and use my videos to show their students how to back up.

As a former driver, I can honestly attest that doing this in an emulation without people trying to drive through and from a bird's eye view, without having to shift is super easy compared to trying to attempt this in real life, even with fellow driver spotters.

Non trucker here, what does this mean? You can move the axels on a trailer?
I once witnessed a driver jackknife his way into a customer's driveway. He did it by pointing his nose at an acute angle to his trailer then simply going back and forth while turning the wheel back and forth. Still one of the coolest maneuvers I've seen first hand. That guy is a legend because he didn't even need me to get out and spot him or anything; he just did it like he did it every day.
I saw the most insane thing on the Hana Highway once. It was a DOUBLE trailer Semi hauling ass around 40 miles per hour up that road. Anyone who has ever driven it (over 600 hairpin turns, narrow bridges, sheer cliff drops) know how utterly insane and impressive such a feat is.

Hiya. Im a trucker. It depends. If there's enough room for a straight back, rather than turning to back in, they can be close enough for truck mirrors to barely fit. Depending on how all trucks park, they can get a little tighter than this if you use some tricks, such sliding tandems mid-back to control how much tail swing you have, or disconnecting and reconnecting to sharpely turn the trailer without wiggling it back and forth. But also, even though tighter spots than this are possible, as a trucker, I would refuse to even attempt this if I were simply parking for the day. Although I have the skill, as I've backed into worse for shipper/receiver docks, so I had no choice, but then you worry about less skilled drivers hitting you. So I always park in spaces that's easy for other truckers to park next to me.

I'm a retired truck driver and did a lot of maneuvering with trailers. Never realized that this is much easier to learn in a simulation. You have a direct overview that you can translate into what you see in your mirrors. And always used mirrors solely, only looked outside for some oversight.

Lots of drivers purposely park not centered but close to the right line. Attempting to create more space when it's time to pull out at O'dark 30. That make getting into those spaces impossible. Pass any truck stop at night ,you'll see empty parking spaces, but trucks lined up on nearby ramps .Sometimes you just gotta wake up your neighbor and ask them to move, which they usually do after initially losing their cool . It's a good night when you can park in an end spot so you can pull straight out.

A European trailer has that overhang and 3 axles which makes turning easy in a thight spot but the rear and can swing out a lot. The reason also between the first and third axle, it pivotes a bit when turning cause it pushes the tires in the different direction you turn

He just looked at me and smiled. He knew he was good and didn't need to prove anything to anyone. Much respect to all talented truckers. Only a fool thinks driving an 18-wheeler is easy.

this reminds me of the loves over by grand junction. Literally the tiniest bit of space I have seen at a truck stop for parking. One time I had to go pull into a spot, then blind back out of it into the one behind it since there was no room even for a 45-45 turn. There were some nice drivers nearby who helped me (still super thankful for that), but still super stressful. I think with enough practice I probably could have gotten it in, but at the time, it was the only way I saw since it was late at night with no other spots available. I just got lucky with the placement.

Smart move. At first I wanted to challenge myself and get into tight spots. Eventually I stopped caring if I could get in a tight spot or not and would just find the easiest way. Now I drive terminal trucks around a port. Stress 0, pay 100.
Being a truck driver I’ve been in this type of situation all the time when driving the Pacific Northwest. When pulling out you are going to have to slide your axles period. And hopefully you can J hook it coming out the first time. Now backing in you need to first slide your axles all the way to the rear. Then on your approach you need to be as close as you can to the parked trucks front end. Then as you back up just as your rear axle on your trailer is on the passenger side corner of the parked trucks front bumper you jack Knife your rig so you are spinning the trailer tires on a dime on the ground. What this simulator does not show is the truck-trailer leaning out at the top and in at the bottom of the trailer. The tractor is also tilting because out there the lots are sloped big time for rain water run off. I hate doing this procedure because it’s extremely hard on the equipment and tires. It tears up the lot, puts flat spots on the tires. It puts abnormal strain on the trailer rear axle slider assembly to the point it’s extremely hard to slide your axles or you can’t slide them at all.
Can't believe I just watched a guy pull out a truck that has nothing to do with my life, yet I still thoroughly enjoyed it! 😅👍

This job almost broke me til I realised that I was actually pushing my back wheels out on the trailer and giving myself a better angle to get out. Must have taken me about 25 shunts in and out of the road around cars and lamp posts in a narrow street. It was a good 25 mins of hell but the best learning experience.

Yeah i started driving 2 years ago and my second drop solo was at a place that had about this much room. Luckily i had my tandems forward but it was a nightmare with so little experience. Might have taken me like 20 minutes to get it in but i managed it without hitting anything. Though I like to say thank you it didn't realize with a hard enough jack knife you could push the trailer back even though you are going forward. That is going to help me out a lot if i ever find myself in a tight spot.

I have applied this in real life with a 2019 Mack anthem sleeper truck and a 53' trailer. It is very common to strike the truck on you blind side if your tandems are forward since you are pivoting on your axles. I have learned sliding them to rear makes the trailer more predictable and I am not getting out constantly to check my blind side to make sure I am not taking anyone's mirrors off.
As an ex-tractor driver this is very entertaining, I love it, but you will never get into a situation like this. You gave me something I can do while sitting home. Looks like fun.

You did an excellent job utilizing the tools you have though and doing it in real life you should always use those tools as well. I've been driving for 20 years and consider myself an excellent driver in all aspects. One thing that I'm not afraid to do that many truck drivers are is stop, put my parking brakes on get out and actually walk around the truck. Guess what, I've never hit anything in 20 years. Oh and it's called a fairing on the back of the cab. Excellent job getting out and backing it in.

I got a lot of respect for semi truck drivers. I always thought i was a good driver, i did snowplowing in some nasty awful storms in tight drives, but when i see these guys i gotta tip my hat. Busy highways, blocking rude drivers trying to back into a tight loading dock. Man these guys dont get enough credit
I could watch this all day
Nice work done, masterpieces.
That'll really step up my game in American Truck Simulator! Thanks!
I have never seem anything related to trucks and KZread Algorithm was like "why don't you watch a truck video" and I liked it haha
That was amazing, great skill
What a legend
With tandems all the way back you want to hug to heck out of objects next to the trailer into the docking lane. Go in shallow and close. You lose a lot of maneuver room at the front end of your tractor. Ideal setup for those docking lanes where you have decent room to work with between the side objects. With tandems all the way to the front you want to go in as far off as you can from the docking lane and have your trailer angled into the lane before sinking it in. It's all about the tail swings, so aligning the trailer to the lane before going deep is ideal. You want to use this setup if you have limited head room in front of the docking lane to work with. After backing trailers of various sizes and types and configurations (tandems to the front; or tandems to the back) for awhile you start develop an almost intuitive feel for how the trailer will move for you. In the end, you can be shown how to back a trailer but it's really all about practice to make it second nature to you.
10/10 would watch again
Wow what an interesting driving skills!!! This actually made me nervous 😬
You know you finally understand maneuvering a truck when you watch these videos and know the next move
Did it for ten years, I love the driving part. The loads and traffic were the problem.
That was impresive even tho its a top view :P Keep On Truckin!!
Its one thing to get a birds eye view but could you imagine only having the drivers view. Crazy
Bro Max-out his Pullout Game, what a chad!
Thanks for waking me up. I was asleep in the rig next to you.
Bro the sigh’s of relief were so intense
I had to do this is southern Cali over the summer. Just full send it and believe in yourself 🤣
That sigh after you got out is the only thing that I can imagine after so much back and forth.
This is more impressive than juggling chainsaws. I can only imagine how someone can figure it out without an overhead view, just using the mirrors.
Thanks you helped me a lot!
You hit a few bumpers🤣🤣🤣
