Always get as close as you can (with out hitting anything of course) before you alley dock your trailer. Otherwise you will lose your spot to someone else.

SHORT STORY-When I first started, I spent 45 minutes trying to back into a dock, stressed, sweating, crying, the whole deal...A driver with a stretched out Pete, pulled up and backed in as smooth as butter...I watched him closely...I learned a valuable lesson that day, he went SLOW!!! The slower you go, the easier it is. 20 years later, I have never forgot! This video is a PERFECT tutorial!!

Remember that the farther your tandems are back the less turning radius you have. So when you have to slide your tandems all the way back at the shipper, the turning radius is much larger. The trailer is going to react differently in every position. I see a lot of newer drivers over steering because they don't understand this. Remember that the slower you go, the better. When you have people waiting for you, they can just wait. We all started somewhere. I was fortunate enough to have a job backing in boats in as a kid. If you have any specific questions. Let me know. Good Luck and be safe trucker. 🙏

Backing is always different, one day you'll do great! Another day you may have problems, just remember I've talked to many truckers we all have good and bad days, just dont hit another truck and you will do fine,

@@SuperPoshposh, that's the way I have trip planned when I was new. My plan was always to shut down for the night in a truck stop first. When there's no available spaces that I was comfortable backing into, my plan B was always a rest area within an hour away. Anyone new to trucking, there will be truckers laughing at you back up. Just remember to take your time by getting out and look. If you don't and hit something, those same truckers will be laughing at you more. Think about it;)

It's like negative (self talk) on top of negative ( another's treatment). It makes the student more nervous and defeats the purpose of teaching due to belittling.

Hi Daniel it’s not that hard like the guy talking said start by keeping your trailer wheels close to the truck that you are going to park beside the next thing you can do is pull the hand valve to stop the wheels from moving and jack knife the trailer until it is close to getting straight and then release the hand valve and follow it.try it and good luck with trucking. I started in 1960 and I quit in 2013 .there is so many tricks and tips that you new guys just don’t get to see and hear about because all us old guys are not out there with you . Like I said good luck and keep the shiny side up.

Good video I like how you explain it I was thinking of driving to a local truck stop where I live to see how the truckers back in so I can get an idea on 90 degree and 45 degree angle also making left and right turns in the city how not cause an accident

when you're alley docking a truck turn your wheel a turn and a half then start backing u. wait until the trailer is at about a 30-40 degree angle then just chase it. I had a full sized semi sleeper with a 53' trailer never could alley dock but my friend told me to turn the wheel a turn and a half before I started moving and it worked every time. never missed an alley dock

at what position are you referring too, when your just pulling up close to the other trucks and turn the wheel to the "right" 1.5 turns?

Perfect explanation . Truck turns with the back tire as the center of the circle. For turn and reverse, for smaller angles, turn the same way as car, for larger ratio , turn the steering wheel in opposite direction keeping the trailer not moving backwards much, but changing direction. NB : Broken english mine

When docking/parking: if your center for the tandem is all the forward you will be too close to the row of trucks to make your initial turn for your setup. Someone's truck is going to lose a front cap. Whether your tandem is all the way forward or all the way back 4-6 feet is the lay-off distance from the row of trucks before your initial turn. That 4-6 feet will compensate for truck model variations and tandem length. What it will not do is compensate for a truck that is parked nose cap 3-6 feet passed the yellow line...watch for that. Next; techniques vary by company, experience, vehicle type and ones own taste for bravado or backing. Before your initial turn go passed your target space set the center of your drive axles to the far edge of the next space passed it. Some prefer the target space, some prefer a space and a half passed the target space. I prefer one space passed to the far edge. Hit that Mark and turn hard sharp right until your truck nose is straight with the row of trucks on the other side. Stop! Do not do a continuous motion, stop the wheels. 22.5 in tires require 10 feet of linear roll-out distance to get one foot of turn, that's one revolution. If you do not stop those wheels and just conveniently turn your wheels, while it's rolling you will over shoot it due to wheel roll. Next; after your sharp right turn line up turn hard to the left and ease forward until your trailer lines up with your cab in the mirrors, both sides. You will see your target space behind you and a hard 90 degree "jacked" turn will not be required. If you prefer hard 90 degree turns with your drives cut 90 degrees and drives wheels under the apron that's up to you. That will be needed when the far row of trucks on the other side is too close. A good many of the parking space as are just that...way too tight. Schools don't cover that, they give a set directive to dock and you do it that way. Your load assignments will dictate differently to the various shippers and consignee's. Some of these places are over 60 years old and designed for 40-45 ft trailers with cabovers or pickups. Even a long nose cab today can do it with a 40-45 ft trailer. 53ft trailers are a 60's idea put forth in the 70's and early 80's. It's not going to get any better before it gets much worse. Trucking companies are more numerous and three times the size they were 40 years. Crete has over 6000 trucks, now. JB hunt is three times its size from 30 years ago. More owner operators now. Space is a limited commodity so is illegal parking. 40 years ago would have made sense for citations, now, it's customary due to the fact there no choices left for the truck driver...we dont have the space available any longer to meet the current demand and it's growing still. Practice parking, practice often...you will need it.

YES you are absolutely correct. That was omitted because beginner's might get confused. But you are right on the money. Keep rolling and may the roads be fair and the weather clear and be safe out their.

It took him so long to do it, I'm glad he didn't run out of fuel doing that. To park it every time... - 2-3 feet from the front of the row of trucks - when your drives pass the opening you want to backup into turn hard right and place your cab facing "11" on the clock ("12" is direction you will be facing once parked) - as soon as you face "11" turn hard left and face "9" and drive forward for about 12 feet. Stop. - turn wheels all the way right and start backing. your trailer will go right where you want it. The moment back of your cab is close to the trailer (your jacked) start turning left to straighten your trailer and cab.

During my 29 years as a trailer driver, approximately 95% of my day was composed of backing into tight places. I didn't attend a tractor-trailer training school (I'm not knocking TTT schools at all), but was taught one on one by a friend of mine for about 3 months. I then took my road test, passed it the first time and the rest of my career was comprised of just learning from experience and an occasional tip from a veteran driver. I even learned how to back blind side into a tight spot the first shot by using my right side spot mirror until I lost site of my tandems and then looking out my driver's side mirror at the angle of my trailer as compared to my tractor and once I got straight enough to see the other side of my trailer, using both my mirrors...worked every time.

Practicing this very maneuver and not doing so well. In my state we test for our CDL-A, which for me was parallel parking and offsetting with a final drive test. Then after passing, we have further tasks as part of our progression within the company. Very frustrating, but this video was very helpful! Thank you!
