I like to bring along a tiny container of cloves to chew on here and there for fresh breath :)

My first solo is this weekend. Super excited!

👀

Perfect!

I’m currently in school for swift and I’m to the point my instructor told me “if you can get your 90s then you’ll be ready for the state test.” This made me finally get it. I was having such a hard time with the angle to set up the backing. Tomorrow ima try it and see if I finally get it.

This might be a stupid comment but here goes Instead of dropping the glove why did he not do a hard right until his truck and trailer was straight in the box then just straight back instead of getting out and looking I get that but doing a straight back is tons easier than a 45 back

Flew in and out of here with Dad in Pipers back in the 80's

I prefer you do that on the real wheels...not on trainning wheels....thats does not make sense cause is not the rea life

Lol swift showing people how to back now that's a riot lol

Nice video, I would only add that you should always check the fuel(was mentioned) but also the oil!

Nice !!!

Simple explanation without complications, people with poor English language can even understand nice instructor.

While I agree with what you are trying to show your students re the principle of the aim point, I don't think drawing random dots, or as I have seen movable clear plastic dots, on the windshield is good technique and I feel it becomes a bit of a crutch. Over the years I have given this some thought and believe that a good explanation would revolve around eye height and where it intersects the windscreen and how that relates to aim point. I liken it to the a rear sight and foresight on a rifle. Most GA aircraft have fixed height seating which means you have to cater for the 5 foot pilot as well as the 6 foot 6 inch pilot. Where is the aim point now? At the end of the day it's about the pictures - aim point, aspect, airspeed - driving your eyes down to the runway threshold in good position to land. It's also good that pilots understand the pictures especially when it comes to flapless and AoA approaches where aircraft attitude becomes the imperative and where you touch down becomes more of a judgement exercise. Please don't view this as a criticism or a point of contention it's just a discussion point as I'm sure you're a great and thoughtful instructor. Cheers

You need to explain where the black gasket goes

I was in warehousing for 30 years and saw many big rigs attempting to back up to the buildings dockplates. The Swift drivers were generally the WORST at backing up. Hopefully they are doing a better job training drivers.

Edited for setup was off

It didn't look like the tandems were all the way back and that makes a big difference

Dan, thanks for this, and volunteering your time with the Aviation Explorers program. I was involved as a student pilot through two different aviation-centered Boy Scouts/ Explorer Posts here in the Cleveland area back in the mid 1970s. Our Explorer Posts 'owned' our Cessna 150s - the planes bought and maintained through member student's fund raising efforts. Flight hours were 'earned' by fundraising efforts as well! The more you raised, the more you flew! One of the Posts was sponsored by a major airline, and we held our meetings in the airline's maintenance hangar - we also overhauled one of our Cessna's O-200 engines, supervised and signed off through one of the airline's A&Ps. The other Explorer post was initially sponsored by another major airline, and meetings were held in the airline's pilot briefing room in the main terminal! Later, that post was sponsored by a air-cargo outfit across the field from the main terminal that flew Beech 18s, and our lowly C-150 was parked in the grass among those Twin Beeches... Ahh, those were the days.... I soloed at 6.5hrs off the now long-gone Northwest Sod (one of two grass runways at CLE) on Dec 7, 1975. That area in now the UPS air freight facility. On days when the Sod was closed due to wet or snow, we used the shorter of the two main parallel runways, while the airliners used the longer one a few hundred feet away "Be alert for wake turbulence" was a constant radio message from the tower! Things were different back then, LOL!!! Anyway, I am happy to hear that Aviation Exploring is still a 'thing!' Keep up the good work! Keep inspiring today's youth!

Looks like very quite for his first flight

I have pic time Day Flying , pilot in command under supervision Day flying, Dual day flying, pic time Night flying, Dual night flying, Co-pilot day and night flying time and Instrument flying time. My total flying time will be the addition of which groups of flying times? Thank you.

Love this ! I'm going to flight attendant training next weekend and I want to save money on meals and this really helped . THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS WAS REALLY INFORMATIVE! Hope your training went well.....

Amazing video. Thanks for share !!! What about the AD 2020-26-16 ? Is this model involved ?

The more I watch these videos I learn a lot

Get to the point . Skip to more than half way. Better yet skip the whole thing. Basically worthless .

Wichita a food desert? 😂😂😂😂

he probably doesn't remember me but we are close cousins

REPENT AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST BEFORE ITS TOO LATE 🔴JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY HOPE 🔴

The instructor here reminds of a military instructor: sharply dressed, professional in demeanor, and dedicated to his chosen line of work.

Swift Academy is like an Ivy League University, well known for thorough and rigorous training. It’s great to be a driver for Swift, Love it !!

Your cheat sheet is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Swift needs to teach their drivers to drive first . Can’t wait to see future Swift videos , chains sailing through the air ! Delivering a Better Life to wreckers !

Thank you so much, great video.

Instructors should teach about driving forward , that when the wrecks begin !

Everybody put trailer in with this huge space, but in real life very often you will not have so much space

hello Dan, did you change your water filter?

I'm a new box driver... Wanted to thank u n the camera man.... Ur voice is relax n u know exactly what u are talking about... thanks a bunch... Can u do any video or advice to my field...box truck? Thanks

Aiming pt don't work 3 miles out on a straight vin landing

I'm from Kampala uganda I learnt more experience from your tutorial services keep it up sir.

Good video. Perhaps the intro could be shorter since it seemed like it was going to be a read type of video and I and possibly others almost clicked on to the next video.

this is the best technique ever guys I really advice you follow this one it lines you up straight to your parking spot.

Thank you for the video it help me back without my leader assist me thank you.

I am assuming the same principles would apply regarding a Ford F350 pulling a 26 foot trailer backing driver side into a perpendicular driveway? Pretty much what is shown in this video. Going to give it a whirl, thank you very much!

I pray that I pass my cdl 90 degree and road test

Caballero muy buen video , pero si nos pudiera ayudar hacer un vídeo en español le agradeceríamos toda la vida un abrazo desde Ecuador

Amazing ideas. Thank you so much!

This video was right on point. I had difficulty docking as a new Amazon Freight driver, but I've been getting it every time.
