How to do a 45 degree back

Backing from a 45 degree angle is very common in trucking. There are more than one way to set up but this is an easier way in most cases. You don't want to have an accident so take your time and stay accident free and safe.

    This was an absolutely beautiful and much simpler set up than I was Taught. I was taught to pull back to the 12'clock position after the 3'clock, which is similar, but your method of stopping when the tractor and trailer are aligned with each other is so much easier, especially with that extra 8 feet to work with coming back. Today is my final day with my trainer and I'll be testing and graduating today after I pass everything at the company. Im so excited for this journey and I appreciate this tutorial as it will definitely help me achieve my goal......AKA (Get Out And Look)😂 naa, but many thanks to you my brother and keep up the amazing work 🙏🏿

    ☂️Thank you for this excellent video. Would you be willing to do another 45 degree one? Same setup but tighter with typical empty trailers on the other right hand side. Because lot of times it feels like you might hit the other side because its so tight. This video doesn't show if it was tighter on the other side. So if you can demonstrate and explain the proper setup like this one backing between trailers. Also I had one small truck like that before but lost the trailer they can be useful.

    Great question. The three oklock starts when your shoulder is in line with the edge of the trailer by the driver side mirror. This is the first turn of the set up.

    Hi Jrock! Great question. On all backing opportunities, it's best to look at everything first to determine what to do next. If there's not much room in front of the space you're backing then a couple of options are: Do a 90 degree back or maybe slide the tandems all the way forward (but be mindful of the tail swing). Once the trailer is in the space and you need to pull up, you will have plenty extra room then. Thanks for the question and please stay safe.

    Lets say my tandems are at the CA mark when I am in a day cab. I DRIVE 6.5 lanes ahead until I cut the wheel hard right and back up to do alley docking. How many lanes should I drive ahead until I cut the wheel hard right and back up when I am in a sleeper cab?

    Hi Jeahwang, I'm not sure if this helps but from my experience, it was always easier to have the tandems all the way to the rear on a 90 to not have the tail swing. It all depends on the space you have to work with to determine the angle you want to use.

  • @drrichardpaul
    @drrichardpaul2 жыл бұрын

    That's okay, but the hard turn to the left is easier if you go all the way back to 12 o'clock instead of 1:30. The maneuver sets you up for success this way without having to pull up the additional 8 feet. Sometimes, you don't have that space available, so it's better to teach the 12-3-12 method.

  • @18WMS

    2 ай бұрын

    I love campers. The key to shorter trailers is that they come around fast. Therefore, turning the steering wheel a little to get the trailer started, then turning back the other way to control it. May have to pull forward a few times to stay in control of the trailer swing. The shorter the trailer is, the faster the trailer swings. I hope this helps at least a little. I wish you the best!

    Don't watch your trl watch your trl tires that is your pivot point, setup is the most important part, don't cut yourself short use as much space as you need to setup and get out and look as many times as you need not just to look at clearance look at the angle of trk and trl compared to where your backing into and remember if your using a spotter trust but verify if you hit something they aren't going to pay your deductible.

    Plan your work, then work your plan. Before any maneuver, it's a great idea to figure out the best and safest way to set up. Look at the space and items around you and set up accordingly. Get out and look is very important. If you don't have the space for the 3 o'clock , then use a different set up. Thanks and I wish you the best.
