Thanks this was the easiest video I've seen people overcomplicate it but this was the most useful.

Thanks for your help! 🙏🏾 I’m currently in CDL school & I’ve been struggling with this maneuver.

Wish I found this video before wasting 2 hours at the school yard saying to myself “turn right to go left”. God bless you sir

I subscribe. You have no idea how much your video have helped me . Peace and blessings . Shalom

Thank god I found your video. After burning my hours at the training yard I couldn’t figure it out, but after watching this video I got to the training yard and it just clicked. I now feel comfortable backing up the trailer a whole block if I have to thank you sir, cause most KZread videos really don’t teach people anything.

Man I been working at a coal mine since February and just got moved up to a mobile equipment specialist driving end dumps and haulers. The hauler has a trailer and I’ve never really pulled or backed one. This is good advice thank you for explaining this. 💯✊🏾

I’m no truck driver but I can see how this could be difficult. I saw another KZreadr explain it like this. Don’t put your steering hand(s) on the TOP of the steering wheel when backing up but instead put them on the BOTTOM of the steering wheel. That way turning the steering wheel left turns the trailer left, etc. he started out showing it with a boat on a trailer hooked to an suv but said the same rule applies to all trailer hookups. Made sense to me. I drive my car like that too… hand in bottom of steering wheel.

Do more videos on backing up please. Since you backup alot throughout the day, you can teach us new drivers many of the little details that trip us up. For example I struggle with lining up the rear of the trailer with the dock. I have a hard time pulling up and backing up to perfectly align the trailer with the dock. I get it into the dock but there is a slight angle with the warehouse crew tells me it isn't parallel to the dock.

Most docks have the yellow stripes in the padding…I keep my trailer in between those stripes….or the bumpers on the docks…it might take some pull ups to get it straight… Then a slow steady back….repetition my friend…you will conquer it

This is really helpful and precise

It's kinda hard because reversing a trailer functions like a car in some areas, but th trailer have a mind of it's own. To turn left with the trailer means Turning the wheel left, and for the right is the opposite(turn the wheel left).

You just helped me out

Glad to hear… I get a lot of thank you’s on today video

When it’s trouble on the left or right do you just quater turn and hold it for a second and let it gradually straighten

Just turn steering wheel toward whatever (edit: rear trailer) tire starts to show up more in the mirror. You’ll get a feel for how much to turn and when to center wheel back up. You should only need minor corrections while backing.

Thank u sir I’ll try this at class..I always thought if it go left turn right..🤦🏽‍♂️

So if it drifts to the left we just turn to the left and hold it till it straighten out

If you see to much of the left , turn it to the left ? & if you see to much on the right turn it to the right ?

@SgtMackUSMC

3 жыл бұрын

Yes... hold until it straightens back out

I have a question if you see your trailer drift to the right and you turn your wheel to the right to correct it, Do u have to also turn your wheel to the left as much as you did to the right to line it back up?

@SgtMackUSMC

2 жыл бұрын

Yes…slowly back to the left…don’t over correct it…

I’m brand new just started. No experience driving trailers or manual, I had problems doing this. My instructor is the type not to babysit. Can you explain to me the clutch and break during the straight back and offset. I felt I wanted to break a lot, but he made a comment that made me not want to

@SgtMackUSMC

Ur clutch is pretty much your break… Let off the clutch until truck starts moving… Plus clutch in to slow the truck… The clutch is pretty much ur break when backing…. Hope this helps

In school they teach you hands at bottom of wheel and you turn going up so if I want trailer go right I turn wheel upwards counter clockwise and vice versa to go left...this is to confusing my brain can't grasp...i think that's wrong. Am I supposing to looking for where the back of the trailer or the front of the trailer going? I'm not sure which way your turning your wheel from top to bottom or bottom to top

I did all that and i still cannot get it. SO frustrating

"Turning slightly to the right" or "turning slightly to the left" is vague. How much do you turn? 1/4. 1/2. etc turn?

I took it as you are slightly would slowly turn the wheel because you are moving it may not take much to bring to where you want to be. It maybe as little as a 1/16 depending on how much room and distance to your goal.

My school taught us watch the wheels if you see the wheel go left if you don’t see the wheel go right. SMH

Smart trucks can do it

I cant understand how some people get their cdl if they cant back straight line im not being a prick here but im serious
