I just started offset backing Thursday at my school, and for someone who has never driven a combination vehicle, it was whooping my ass lol. But I've been watching g a lot of videos such as this and have a better understanding of where I was going wrong. So come Tuesday when I go in, I'm feeling pretty confident that I'm going to knock it out. Thanks for posting.

as a truck driver was 28 years Driving Experience 4 million miles accident-free certified I can tell you that backing from the offset side is not easy. for a new student who did a relatively good job the main point in being take your time and do not get in a hurry you will do fine

I gotta do my road test on Monday and I'm still having problems with offset backing, it's definitely not easy. I heard the key is to keep the cones and the side of the trailer in your mirror. Once you lose sight of the trailer and cones you run into trouble, it usually means you're not backing towards the spot.

This shit hard af to me. I'll be working on it all day tomorrow

let me just say that when i posted this video i knew there would be good comments and of course bad comments, as with any video. However, i posted this video so that i could later view it once i have some experience and to see my progression from when i first started driving with absolutely zero experience. This is how i motivate myself to become a better and safer driver because i can see my progression in this career. To those who had good comments, thank you. And to those who had bad comments, thank you. everyone learns differently and sees every situation in a different way. you have to find something that motivates you in your own way. this is mine. cheers.

They should install mirror in the BACK 👍

Very encouraging to see 😊

Thank you for pisting this video... you did very well my friend and what i respect and appreciate the most is this video depicts real life situations... such as the placement of the trailer and actuality recordimg the mistake.... maam i am a diesel tch amd dont back many trailers because most 97% of the time tractors and trailers are seperated before coming into thw shop

Owners don't spend lots of money on trucks at schools. Most trucks on the yard are not street/highway driveable. Maybe one or two are ready so student can do driving test after passing everything else. Inexperienced drivers. No need to buy new trucks. And as long as you do your pre trip correct is all that matters.

Did you turn 12 12 or all the way

You don't always have that option.

A short pull up each time after seeing we’re trailer tandems are would have helped a lot . Remember four-way flashers on for safety, I’m backing up.

He oversteering he did good holding his trailer to drift in the offset lane because my classmate had the same problem he used to hold his bend too long and his trailer used to end up in straight back lol.u aiming for ur offset lane once u see ur trailer bend to the lane than look out ur other mirror cuz it will tell u where to turn than u give it a lil right left action at that point its straight line backin and everybody should know how straight back go if u dnt offset should be least ur problems like my instructor told us lol

I do believe that you're going to have to call maintenance on that one.

GET OUT AND LOOK!!!

It does not look bad

Anyone notice the lights on the trailer? He failed pre trip inspection.

You might wanna get your right brake light fixed before you go for you test

Our instructor doesn't like us getting out of the truck. If you can see the cones, there's no reason to get out.

I also come to drive in America

Either he's mirrors off or he's turning too sharp. Because it was too far to the right on the left all set and now it's too far to the left on his offset could be the mirrors or something. Because that does play with your judgment.

@williamvangorden44

Жыл бұрын

Or he's trying to figure it out through the mirrors and in the mirrors are giving him a different feedback or he's not adjusting the mirrors to him not making any excuses but that does play with your judgment. Because it's either going to put you too far to the right or it's going to put you too far so left and if that keeps going on consistently then there's some kind of issue either with the mirrors people like to think otherwise but that does play a big part because you have to look at it through those mirrors if they're off slightly you're going to be off.

Clipped the front end of a real truck with that backing. Good this is only a cone.

You can not see the driver's front wheels and the shadow kills most of the view of the tractor wheels. It is best viewed from the side of the truck that the driver is backing to and in front of the vehicle so you can see his front wheels turn.

You really just have to practice and get a feel for the sequence and execution of the steps.

Brake light out is nothing. one of the trucks we used in the range in my school only had 13 tires (with 14 wheels), and the driver's side door latch didn't work from the outside. You had to reach through the window to open it. but the trucks we took on the road and tested in were in good shape.

The new school truckers, need to be taught by an old school truck driver on the proper way to drive a truck. Like for having to get out of your truck to check, my brother doesn't even do that. The reason I'm using my brother as an example, is because I'm only 15

+Dylan Meinhardt If you talk to a lot of the old school drivers that aren't completely full of crap, they will will tell the when they started out thy had to GOAL...especially on a blindside. There's a TA on I-40 exit 37 you should visit to see my point. It is one of the worst parking lots in the I have seen and the every driver that's parks in the spaces up against and facing the road use at least two spotters. It's near impossible to get in there without a spotter and most people still GOAL for themselves. At that place its like an unwritten rule that after you get into your spot you hang out in front of the trucks and wait to help others into the space. I guess when I said "idiotic old school training method" what I really meant was stupid. Over confidence is typically why backing accidents happen.

+The Accidental Trucker I'm not trying to insult you or anything, mainly because I don't have my Class A CDL yet because I'm only 15. Anyway, a lot of the old school truck drivers, like my brother, are a lot better skilled at driving and backing than most of these new school trained ones. There are some good new school trained drivers that have a lot of skill and can back up really well. I don't have any physical proof of my brother actually doing this, but he said he's been told by people that he can't get in his truck and trailer into certain areas, but he proved them wrong, but my brother says he has done a lot of things. I'm not calling him a liar either because he then later proved some of the things he said he could do. But all it depends on the driver and the drivers skill when it comes to backing up.

@theaccidentaltrucker6707

+Dylan Meinhardt Yes, some are better than others old or new school. But when you watch a video from a truck driving school you also have to keep in mind that they are teaching people how to pass the CDL test not how to be a trucker. That's what the time spent in training at a company is for. problem there is that some companies train for two weeks and then that person a trainer. the company I went to after truck driving school is VERY strict on training and procured good, safe drivers which is why I spent 7 weeks in a trainers truck that had several years of experience. TDS = Pass test not learn to be a trucker.

To far to right.

"NEVER being behind the wheel"? you exaggerate much. You have to drive forward before you can back. and you have to straight back before you can do any of the other backing maneuvers. *facepalm*

I have to tell myselfe that almost every day to keep my sanity
