And remember, keep your speed dead slow, slow truck, fast hands and your trailer will be more responsive to steering inputs. The biggest mistake I see drivers making at truck stops and docks is they care to much about the impatience of other drivers. Take your time and you'll get it right the first time!

I've hit the hole many times in one shot with no pull-ups. Those times all have the same thing in common: Slow and steady.

Yes, exactly! If people just relax, they will annoy others a lot less because they will get in faster. Slow is fast and fast is slow.

This is the best answer. just slowly and without haste, no matter how long it takes you, just ignore others, until you are 100% sure that everything is as it should be. and if you need, don’t be lazy to go out and If you nedd 10x to check your right and back side not to hook someone.

Wtf are you talking about ???

First time in an artic today, nervous as hell on the way up to Scotland as I knew I'd be reversing onto a bay when I got there. Studied this video in depth beforehand, followed the instructions when I got there and it made it SO much easier getting it onto bay so thank you for doing this vid 💪🏻

I second that emotion. After years of drinking doubles. Now retired. I'm the person who backs up and gives you room lots of room. Not fun being stomped by an elephant. And I like my Chevy. The Cummins weighs more than my entire car, with me in it. I have a great skill, I get the hell out of the way. I've found when I do, I stay healthy.

The set up is everything. If you don’t get a good set up, you are done.

Skilled truckers are greatly under appreciated !! This is a rare skill !

Awesome setup every time I get new driver for ride along I make sure I make them watch at least 10 of your videos and trust me thay learn more from you then me. Keep up the good work

This is TREMENDOUS I BEEN UP FOR DAYS STUDYING MY SET UPS, this has helped me immensely my man, appreciate you taking time out your day passing on the Knowledge 💯

That was a great setup and back, almost seemed like you didn’t have to pull up. 🔥👍

Excellent! Wish they used some drone footage at the UPS hub in Denver when I started driving Feeders. But luckily 60 hours a week for years moving trailers in the hectic cramped ass yard forces you to figure this stuff out.

At my job I am exposed to a lot of tractor trailers. So e of these guys are really good. Even with trailers on both sides, they pull right up and back in even with not much room to pull forward to try and straighten things. A lot of the other truckers, though, they take 10 minutes or more constantly pulling up and backing up. I remember a lady who was so nervous she almost broke down crying. Another driver from another company spotted her and guided her back into the dock. One of the most heart warming things I've ever seen. ❤️

I had to help a guy back his truck because he he said he couldn't do it after driving all day and he was very thankful that I helped him.

Back in '82 a few older drivers talked about being able to think of an overhead view of your tractor and trailer while your moving and turning , that helped me and others also . Take your time , it's goina work out o k .

Thank you, now I can back to eurotruck simulator🔥👌

All I can say is God bless you for sharing your knowledge with us 🙏🏻 I really appreciate it

Short and sweet and hard to beat! Great video

Saw this on my recommended page and now I can improve my trucking on ATS. Great video! ;)

nicely done. never be afraid to take a pull up 🙂

This video helped me a ton. Yesterday I couldn't back up where I wanted the trailer to go. Today I managed to back up 15 times with no issue. Thanks.

You are very welcome.

Your videos on backing are the most educational and informative of any I have found after countless searches. I use them as a foundation for the 'Process' of all my backing.

Why am I watching this? The largest thing I've driven is a panel van. Great video, like button smashed.

Great video, My trainer taught me how to do a 45, but on my own I find my setup to be Rusty, your videos have been such a help in having a better understanding on how to get yourself backing on the right track.

I live in Norway and we have little tiny parking space and they teaching us in a different way, this was easy to learn. 🙏🏻

Best video yet. The graphics are awesome. You're a great teacher.

This is definitely the best video on backing I’ve seen. I’m doing ok right now. I was really good until I started pulling double for seven years. Now I’m bumping docks again. I’m eager to get to backing the way I did it before. This video really helps. Thanks.

These techniques are VITAL for new drivers to learn as soon as possible!

Love, love, love these vids. Just downloaded the simulator and took away the pesky ads. Keep doing what you do to help the trucking community

Best video I seen on backing for me so far. I like when he tells you what way to turn wheel

Good job only video I found that actually answered one of my questions which was the adjustments you should make compared to where your tandems are set

One of the best explained videos ive seen so far...thx

I do the 45 almost every time and still have to readjust more than once most of the time. But you pointed out something I have forgotten over time. Thank you

I'm a new driver got my license three weeks ago I just got my first job last week it's here in Texas in the Oilfields I find myself on locations with very limited space I just seen this video i'm sure it will help thank you for posting your contents

Been driving for 4 yrs flatbed and somehow I missed this channel this is absolutely perfect thank you for making. I can typically get into right spaces pretty well but with lots of slow calculated adjustments because my set up is a little off, or maybe the space in front is tight or maybe the spread is a little sporadic but these might help me dial it in and get more smooth thanks for the videos this is great

Another GREAT video. My brain works in "angles" too so I can totally relate to your teaching style. Thanks for the simple and clear editing as well as the addition of the protractor on the steering wheels. You are the best in my opinion my friend. Thank you.

Very precise. By watching you I realized my mistake was turning to the right after going back straight 2-3 feet. I am going to do it your way from now onward. Thanks

Thank you!! Your technic helps a lot, on daily basis, really a appreciate that Sir!

Needed a refresher. Thanks so much!

Once I was in my car and a truck like this one was manoeuvring carefully to do such a move. It was a busy street at rush hour and because of it, there was a long line of cars that were stuck. I was the first in that line. Once he succeeded, the driver looked at me with a face of embarrassment, as if he felt bad for preventing the cars from circulating. Then I clapped and smiled, hoping he would understand I was genuinely impressed by his skills. Then his face lit up and he was happy. Good job, truck drivers!

Thank you so much bro I just got a job and I’m having to move tankers like no less than 6 inches apart and his video totally helps me

As a former shunter that did atleast 50 moves per shift, this is the way 100%. 1st shot every time.

This one is tremendous. It matches what I will need to do on my backing test. The dimensions don't allow for a genuine "alley dock."

Thank you for your excellent teaching skills

Backing is always my biggest weakness. Thanks to your video I know where to turn and etc.

From 3 years of OTR with refers and vans I can remember only dozen times I had tandems all the way back.

Learned this and more at Schneider National finishing school in Indianapolis.

WoW what a great video!!!! Thank you for pisting!!!

Well done!!!

Brilliant and pure gold....

one thing to note is watch your cables when cranking hard, my company locks the 5th wheel all the way to the back position, so if using a continuous supply cable (the curly one) it could get caught under the mudflaps during your first turn

I guess this only applies to American trucks.

When I was in school we called this a 12 and 9. Backing is usually the hardest and most stress inducing thing for a new driver. Like anything though once you practice it enough it get easier until one day you wake up and it makes sense. I always tell new drivers you need to learn the size of your vehicle and the angles needed to accomplish your goal. Unfortunately you won't always have the space for this type of back.

Here in Europe not often we have the space to manoeuvre like that a few yards I go in got to basically Jack knife to get onto bays or even in and out of some yards but still good video to learn basics off even over here

Excellent video, but out at most of the stops I used remove about 15 feet of distance between rows. Great times but glad I'm not cdl driving anymore

Brilliant. This is very similar to the Swift system.

Question. I was taught the very same set up but instead of keeping my steers straight when backing and pushing the trailer I was taught to turn them hard to the right. I usually don’t have any issues. Could you give your opinion on this. Thank you.

Nice landmarking. Easy to remember

tres bien bonne course mercie conducteur

I like that now , there's room on both sides now

i turned from the bottom of the steering wheel makes it easier if you want trailer to go right turn from the bottom to the right it makes your steering wheel go left. i always get so confused which way to turn made it easier today.

That was awesome

I don't drive semi's but learning from this video as a self-learning trailer driver, this helps a ton! I will hop in my tiny little 5x10 and do this same process as well as combine that with @Whitespider125 comment, I should for once be able to back up more precise.

Remember, Smaller trailers react really quickly and are harder to control. The pull-up is your best friend.
