Thanks. 20 years trucking for me, the last 12 in super -B's but now I'm running the States for the first time ever. Heading down to Cali next trip, so I wanted to gen up on this. Never too late to learn new tricks, even after two decades behind the wheel. Keeps the job interesting, always.

It hurts me watching him turn steering wheel while stopped. He will learn someday. Always, always turn while in motion whenever possible! I know in tight situations that's not feasible.

I once watched a cr england driver take 58 minutes to back up into a dock 7 dock door nothing in them. Pull straight into yard and straight into dock and it took 58 minutes dunno how the hell he got a cdl but he definitely shouldn’t have
@CarryMePlz22392 ай бұрын
58 minutes is insane, but sometimes I like to test stuff out when no one is around AND I have time for it, which I usually don't...
@offroadvehicleloverАй бұрын
Yes that's insane. The most time for me was 32 minutes. But at a cosignee in jersey. tight dock, had to hop on wood ramps on both sides with 0 pullup space. Fun times. Another thing tandems to the rear. 😂😂

If you are in a tight space to back up (New Jersey), leave the tandems in the forward position to make the trailer swing more quickly. That can save you 20 feet of space trying to back it in there. Once you are lined up, put the tandems all the way back so you can get close to level with the dock. Remember to criticize the loading / unloading crew for not being faster... They secretly love that. You measure at the middle of the rear axle, right ? It's not the leading edge of the rear tire or something nuts like that, is it ? No one ever told me nothing.

This is one of the logical video i have seen about trailer backing. If you are watching any videos on backing, all you need to see is the movement of the steering wheels, and how the end of the trailer sligns itself with the hole.

So the arrow needs to be in the middle of the rear wheel? I just went through training and I thought they meant between both wheels.

Question: so you keep the red trailer brake pushed in as well as that trailer button in the back so that it can slide? Or do you keep the tailer break pulled out and button in back pushed in for the trailer to slide? I just wanna make sure it’s done right when I’m by myself.
@NightowlTrucking Жыл бұрын
You have to have the trailer brake set (pulled out) to hold the tires in place or the tandems won’t slide. The only reason he released the trailer brakes (pushed in) at the beginning was to fill the trailer’s air tanks, once they’re charged (filled) you can set the trailer brakes, get out, and push the button.

So just finishing up my CDL School. They told us how to do it they just didn't do it for us. They told us that we will learn how to do stuff like that when we go to a carrier or wherever we go. But while they're teaching us they leave the tandem's all the way to the back of the trailer. And when we test for our state Idaho we test with the tandem all the way to the back of the trailer. Thank you so much for the video and the knowledge.

lucky if you have one of these newer hyundai trailers with the button (never had an issue with them), 80% of the time the old holland black panther trailers are the worst and have these levers that dont always lock in place

How are you using the arrow stickers? What exactly should each arrow (or in-between the two) be aligning with?
@pokeysauce Жыл бұрын
I believe the kingpin is at the front of the trailer (the thing that connects it to the semi) so those stickers mark the measurement between that and the rear axle of the trailer. So the arrows should be aligning with the rear axle. *I am not a trucker*
@julierehoric38569 ай бұрын
I think 43 feet from kingpin to middle of tandems, but now this makes me think I listened wrong and it’s supposed to be middle of rear rim

Hey brother thank you so much for this video I'm in Ohio right now dropping a load and I had to drop an empty and do this exact same thing I had no idea how to do it my company never trained me. There is one more thing I would add to your video to perfect it. Let me know if you want to know what that is.
