I don't get it I play simulators of bought American and European trucks and I made bought trucks 765cp idk why you call them Horse power when there is a CP In my country they are called Cai Putere CP makes sense but for you HP and Wright CP why? Anyways and I put them to a test the European once are taller for shore yours are longer But idk why when I drive with an Europen one in real life of game it feels relaxing and silent but yours are louder and fir some reason feel stronger but why idk it might as well be the fact all of yours have at least 6 tires while most of ours have 4 rare 6 and extremely rar 8

Something in your laugh tells me that you were a little sinister in planning the way you parked so people would stay away from you that way you can sleep better

[@nicktice5298]

Some advice from someone who’s been doing this longer than I want to remember lol, when you park for the day, worry about backing in, but also think about how easy it will be to get out, and the likelihood that you’ll be parked in. Watch your trailer tires, but keep an eye on your icc bumper and remember your overhang, and no big movements when backing, slow down and just turn a little at a time, fine tune it, and keep it controlled. Great videos.

[@prorockstar9101]

An easier way to park when the tandems need to be at the rear is to leave them fwd until you’re in the spot…. THEN slide them to the rear and reposition fwd or bkwd as needed. You’re learning. 👍

[@NorEEzta]

They make you slide them back at the gate. I don't lock them. I disengage the trailer brakes and slide them forward when I back into a spot. Then slide them back again after parking.

[@MC_7.3]

The part where he's backing "I hope after everyone watched me back in no one parks next to me" has me rolling XD

[@frakis2771]

Hiya. I'm also a trucker. This happens all the time. I always check satellite imaging. Doesn't always help, as gates can be hard to see, or the map won't be updated for construction, so you show up places and have no idea how to get in.

[@LynnRPerry]

I did it once. 1 hr and 45 minutes the wrong way. Not as bad as 3 hours and I disrupted my arrival. I felt like a complete idiot. I get ya. I learned to check the road signs much more carefully there after. Hey messing up as bad as you feel is an accident, one you are responsible for doing. You are safe and your load is safe. Be easy on yourself.

[@docE3885]

Absolutely love that you show your mistakes as well as all the other interesting bits about trucking. I was injured in Iraq working as a Army medic so I am completely disabled now but I always wanted to be a truck driver. I spent my teens cleaning detailing and learning to work on big rigs before joining the Army and long haul trucking always interested me.

You can always park in the spot first, then slide your tandems. Every place I've been to that want them slid back, has never said anything about it, as long as they're slid back. Work smarter, not harder if possible. Good job though and stay safe brother.

[@AdamGbl95]

Love this guy. Always has a great story. By the way, doing a 90 degree back into the road behind you because you ended up in a couldesac with 2 story homes is always fun 🙂 Or.... trying to back in to a really small public department store with a full sized 53ft tractor trailer, having to back into the driveway off a 4 lane road during rush hour and in oncoming traffic....(I refused delivery when the cop I asked to block the road looked at me like I was nuts)

I'm sad man, today was my last day with CFI. great company for new drivers but shyt pay. I worked over thanksgiving and no holiday pay at all..just 2500 miles guarantee..that shouldn't be an incentive to work on a holiday, that should be a guarantee weekly..I worked on thanks giving just to make few hundred extra miles guaranteed cause I averaged around 2.3k a week anyways. Not even 2 extra cents per mile or something, i missed time with my family for few hunderes miles extra..these mega carriers really don't care for their drivers at all..it's best to get your experience and get out.

Hey Alex. You’re doing a great job there. You’re learning fast. Wish I seen your attitude more in rookie drivers here in Canada. I’ll give you a tip on parking in tight spots. This is easier with a manual pin release on your axles. Slide your wheels all the way forward. Mind your trailer swing! Get into your stall and once straightened out, pull your spike and slide your wheels all the way to the rear. May save you some time one day. Hope it helps. Keep up the great work, never stop learning and remember keep the rubber side down and shiny side up 🤣

[@Nurlouie]

Alex I complete DOT physicals for truck drivers. It’s always an issue to certify with high blood pressure. Keep an eye on your blood pressure. Low sodium diet. Make time to exercise on your off days. Also, I am sure you have been told this before just don’t forget to stop frequently and stretch so you don’t form a blood clot. They like to develop in your lower legs after long periods of immobility while driving: Look for swelling of one leg especially around the calves. Go to the ER if you have severe shortness of breath to rule out a clot going to your lungs.

[@willy9572]

Love your stuff thanks. Btw next time if you can don't adjust your tandems till you get in the slot or bay.

[@joshuaryantrucking7396]

Hey bro if that ever happens again where they tell you to slide your tandems to the back at the warehouse. Go inside slide your tandem's back to the front back into the spot and then slide your tandems to the back of the trailer it makes it 50 times easier to park. Because when your tandems are all the way to the back of the trailer like that your off tracking and it's hard to back. Or sometimes just ask the security guard hey is it okay if I slide the tandems when I'm back there because it's hard for me to back in

[@justme197511]

[@colindavis5202]

Yea I work at a chemical plant and they’ve had issues in the past with drivers rolling the truck forward while they are on a dock with a lift loading it, so whenever I load trucks I have to make sure the driver is within my view, inside of the warehouse. Company policy

[@EAS1513]

I always skip that truck stop unless I’m hungry i don’t know why I never get signal on my phone there

[@palangston1]

Curious if you interact with other truckers often and what that’s like? Do you catch allot of shit as a rookie or do you find most veteran truckers are helpful and supportive?

[@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY]

On social media the veteran truckers are not nice. In person most are very helpful. They just see me driving and immediate offer to help me back into a spot. Another veteran trucker showed me how to change the headlights on the semi which was nice too
