Drove for thirty years and watching this brings it all back! Been retired for 3 years now. There are some things I miss about it. Like meeting for the most part good people. But the all night driving to arrive somewhere at first light, not so much..hehe! Drive safe everyone loved ones are waiting for your return!

the quiet one! Sometimes! I’m 35 years old leaving the electrical trade journeyman 10yrs commercial and industrial. I decided to get my cdl to make more money... I test in 2 weeks. I hope to look back on this one day myself because I quit my job to join this cdl school. My boss couldn’t believe I was walking out I wasn’t joking! Haha

Thanks for sharing a particularly difficult dock situation. It brings back memories for sure (and not all good!). Too many unloading areas were not designed for today's trucks/trailers - nearly impossible to get into. Kudos for all you're doing - I especially like the head cam view - shows exactly where you are looking!

A lot of these places were built when we used to drive 42 footers and 48's. That extra 5 feet, makes for a challenge. Nice job everyone..

[@davidbaughman5295]

I was a truck driver for 35 years, I have been retired for 5 years, I was a city driver for 25 years, I would bump 20 docks a day a lot of times I would have to blind side I got pretty good at it , I like watching truck videos it reminds me when I first started driving I had to learn a lot

[@elm7666]

I used to work at a place that was built in the 80's when they had 40's, 45's and 48's too. Those 53's came out and made it hell for a lot of OTR load trucks to dock. Several times we had a LTL driver dock the truck for the Werner guys right out of school when they came to that place. I saw an old guy stick his trailer into a spot like 2 with trailers in 1 and 3 already docked and a close wall too. THe other drivers were clapping when he finished docking. I learned to have a lot more respect for what you guys do every day after being a traffic manager at that warehouse. Great work and thanks for all that you do!!

I miss these days. I drove for better part of 25 years beginning back in 94 with my Freightliner COE. Got stressed out picking up a load of cat litter of all things in Missouri and holy crap it was tight! The old timers with their long nose Pete’s and KW 900’s badabing in like Flynn first shot sat back and all got on the radio at once trying to help the kid in his COE, I was sweating bullets and after 15 min I finally got it between their rigs 😂. That PU was my biggest learning experience. Understanding the importance of relaxing and not worrying about hitting it on first try every time.

All he had to do (yellow truck) is pull to his right, straighten up, and back straight in. Instead he repeatedly pulled to the same spot. Hmm.

I love to drive and always have. However, I will say that I could never be an OTR driver because there is always the getting out of ‘port’ and then the destination. My hat has always been off to the big rig drivers! They have always had my respect out there. I’ve always made room for ‘big daddy’ coming on down the highway! I’ve learned a lot watching these videos. Thanks!

[@gerardvriend729]

Good job mate! 23 minutes, 3 trucks! I wonder? Sometimes i take smaller than 45 seconds to do it. Love to go there sometimes!

[@Shilohii65]

The “very” simple rule is this: Your back up should mimic your pull out. Go forward in time and visualize what it will look like when you leave out of there. When that guy was backing up, and he exceeded the 90 degree alignment, he should have pulled back out and got his rear trailer axle to pivot prior to the left guide line, to hit his dock door. Simple....don’t over think the situation. It’s daylight, this should be a no brainer. Experience will teach you that there is a “sweet spot,” when backing. When you have everything aligned properly, you’ll just make minor adjustments to keep tracking on that sweet spot.

[@Shilohii65]

Also, tires are approximately 12’ in circumference. When making adjustments, moving more than 12’ begins to put you into an entirely new ball game, as for correcting what you had just done. Make minor adjustments; not major ones.

[@tombrady565]

These videos are the ones that make me so glad I drove a flatbed. You might run into something this every 6 out of a 100 deliveries. That's not to say that flatbedding was always easy in and out, but this was a rarity instead of a daily or even weekly thing. Had a few deliveries in the National Forests where I disconnected, the crane picked up my trailer and spun it around so I could rehook and drive out.

[@steveno3158]

I'm a rookie, but, I just realized something. If he just kept going till the back of the trailer was offset to the door that you're backing into, straightened the steering wheel, did a pull up, then straight backed in, his whole rig would have been straight. I'm going to try that at the next dock I back into! Gotta keep thinking about how to improve, that's the only way to get better at backing! I really like the videos, keep em coming, and thanks brother man! Stay safe! Subscribed!

[@donaldbartram6315]

Keep getting better but don't follow his way.. Took way to long to back into an open door. After 43 years backing still has its challenges, I did a lot of delivering construction materials to job sites. Every one of them is different & if you go back to the same place, it will be different from the 1st time. Delivering to grocery stores is also a challenge, usually crowded & old stores weren't built for 53 footers. Take your time .

[@JoeSmith-nu8oo]

I just love how they build these places and stick crap out in the way and then put yellow poles around it which cause more of a problem!!!!!

[@dejonsmall9886]

That's the Gas Meter surrounded by the yellow poles. It's there because the owners did't want to spent the cash to move it closer to the building. From the set up I'll guess that it's about a 3-4 inch service line. It's expensive to move the service line. The Gas Company only brings the line up to the property line for commercial buildings. The owner comes out of pocket for the rest. Now you gonna ask how do I know this. I spent 37 years in the Natural Gas Industry.

[@person4211]

+Freddie Ray sounds fun, learned something new do electrical companies or other companies running wiring or pipes or lines etc do the same?

[@dejonsmall9886]

Usually the power is attached to the building, but local codes can be different by states.

[@brandonpryormusic]

+Freddie Ray Right. The power company will run the lines to your service mast but the line from their pole to your building is still your responsibility. If they were to start sagging and got hit, the power company would not be liable to pay any damages.

[@gord2358]

Yes. Generally all services are supplied to the property line, then it's up to the property owner via to arrange for them to come further on to the site.

No shame in that or cutting loose, and then picking back up. I've seen 35 year veteran drivers drop and pick. Glad he had sense enough to do the latter.

[@semiretired6033]

Not an easy place to back into. The trick is to backin at less of an angle then jackknife the trailer when you get as close to the trailer that is already backed it the spot next to yours. So that when you staighten while backin up you are on the inside of the line on the ground and then u can move forward and the trailer will straigthen up and stay betwwen the docking lines and then u just back in..But its easier said than done without a spotter checking the trailer behind u, i just get out and check how far i am from it myself. Nice video JBG...

[@gord2358]

I wonder if one-shot backing is becoming a lost art?

The receiver said he knew if it was me or a couple of our other drivers because we only took 5 mins to back in, all the other guys were out there for 30 or 45 minutes, Some would even tell him they couldn't do it.

It always seems trucks are forced to back into sardine cans, I lucked out being a yard-spotter for years so when I went OTR for awhile I was able to stuff these things into closets...but then my vision took a dump & forced me out of it completely but I never forgot what one driver told me when I was new at it, when your hand is at the bottom of the steering wheel whichever way you move it is where the trailer will ultimately go but just hope it does it when you need it to...kind of a useless tidbit but it worked a few times for me.

As a ex dock worker, it can get very frustrating at times when a driver takes forever backing the trailer in. You want to tell them what to do, but not allowed to help the drivers for insurance purposes.

[@szymonchoinski4234]

It's even more frustrating for the driver.You can trust me on that. But also,some of these places....Especially old ones built in era of 48 ft trailers... Just because it is possible to back up a 53 ft there one cannot expect every driver to do it quickly and with ease.

[@spunkyprep]

What aggravates me is seeing other drivers show absolutely no respect or consideration for each other. Park all cockeyed in a hole, and then sit in their cab laughing as someone tries to get into the spot they left and made harder than it already was. Being new myself, the last 4 months have taught me quite a bit about how to drive, and the shitheads on the road.

Yellow truck made the same mistake over n over. Looks like me haha.

Driving a truck is easy. It’s backing a trailer up to a door that takes the most patience and accuracy. These guys have a lot of room between the doors, but if there was a trailer on either side of your door. It would be a lot more complex. I know, I’ve been there many times. Still a good job. Totally different then backing up a uhaul trailer.
