Backing a truck and trailer in to a dock

I applaud this driver for his backing skills. I do the same thing as him. I take my time, and I don’t care what other people think. 25 years of driving and never hit a thing. I see these young hotshots come whipping in the docks and smashing into things. Take your time and do it right!

I think some of these companies think truck drivers are miracle workers! This guy did an awesome job! There should be certain standards for dock requirements ( ie, minimum amount of space, no traffic passing through, no vehicles parked within so many feet of the docking space , etc just as they have all these stringent but mostly necessary rules for the drivers.

Well the people at this facility should have cameras to see what doors do not have objects like a trailer blocking him to back in. Or the switchers should move it before they assign a door right there, but we all know these simple things are just not viable in this industry. Too many lazy and dumb people who could care less about changing the way things are done.

I've been to this same facility. In fact, I was assigned to the door where the Amerifreight truck parked on this truck's blind side is. The setup for this one really wasn't ideal, and the illegally parked truck definitely made the not so great setup into an even more difficult entry. The back of your trailer should ideally be around the midpoint of the truck 2 sight side spaces over from the one you want in areas where a true 45-45 isn't possible. If setup and executed just right, the trailer should be able to roll and rotate into the spot without even the least bit of steering input from the driver. Tractor also should remain parallel with the road/lane as much as possible while backing, until the trailer will clearly make it into the hole without hitting the blind side truck. It was definitely a much better backing job than a lot of other drivers do still. You got it in there safely and without taking an excessive amount of time, it seems. That's a win in my book.

Damn good job, Driver! Having a spotter for a situation such as this---and using G. O. A. L.! Too many other 'drivers' try to be Billy Bob Supertrucker and show off how fast they can get that thing into the dock. Those are usually the first ones to have even further delays due to filling out accident paperwork. Cockiness and truck driving don't mix! Whoever coined the phrase "slow and steady wins the race" was probably talking to a trucker!

Great job just need patience. Awesome,I remember a same incident back in 2015 in L.A. California at C.H.Robinson with a crowded lot. And I didn't have no help , I jumped out of the tractor twice to be safe and calm down the nervous eyes of the fellow truckers. My co driver was still sleeping, im was glad so concentrating was easy. I think a few bets were against me, but it was all in a days adventure especially coming from Miami, Florida on that trip.

Youre exactly right. As a yard jockey, i move over 100 trailers a day, with the proper setup, this is a very easy back. I will never knock another driver as i drove OTR for 27 years And had the same problems backing. It wasn't until i became a yard jockey and all the repetition daily helped me learn that proper setup is key. We park our trucks mirror to mirror and there is no margin for error.

I agree 100%. I've been to that facility before too. Trailer should not be further over than the truck 2 sight side spots over from the desired hole. Tractor should always point parallel with the travel lane too, and should ideally never have to "help" the trailer's required rotation by steering the back of the tractor closer to the curb/fence area. I will say I've seen more than enough backing jobs that are much, much worse than this in my short (thus far) CDL career though. I have a video on my own YT page of what a more effective setup looks like - and in a much tighter area too. I'm not trying to sound like a Super Trucker by any stretch either. I just hope these bits of info help other truckers hone their own backing skills.

You should always try to get the rear tandems in the space at as short of an angle as possible, as parallel as possible to the trucks you're trying to fit between. If the driver had started off further away from the trucks, close to the fence, and started angling the trailer before actually entering the spot, the truck parked in front would not have even been a factor. If you try to jackknife and pivot the trailer directly in front of the spot you're trying to get in to, you will need more room for the front of the truck to come out and in front of the trailer. If you come in at a more shallow angle, you can get more of the trailer into the spot before you have to maneuver the truck in-line with the trailer. Since more of the trailer is already in the spot, you will have more space between your truck and the fence (probably enough to clear the rear of that trailer in front). Since your angle is more shallow you won't have to make such hard turns, this makes it easier to see what you're doing, and also less likely to over steer. Finally, since the angle is more shallow, you're less likely to take out the truck on your blind side.

Twistd, ty for that. I'm coming back after years off the road and never did as much backing as should have. Mostly pulled doubles. I'll get there, but have much to learn. Hate cowboys who say they can do it with less room, no pullups. It's not a race. Stick up for each other, instead of posturing, boys. We have it tough enough as it is, without being like that with each other. Seriously.

I like your comment but as a truck driver with not much experience I probably would commit the same mistake ( as I did before ). I see cars passing by and like u mentioned I don’t get it why the driver didn’t pulled out a little more before started turning trailer back in. I don’t think a well experienced driver would do the same. Driving big rigs and learning new things every day

Some of us would get out an look to see how close we were. Some clown would make a remark that showed their stupidity. I always said I'd rather look "stupid " as to explain how ignorant I was for hitting something. I also trucked for almost 50yrs without breaking my neck.

Funny, I first came across this video when it was first uploaded. I had just purchased a 43 foot fifth wheel and was trying to understand backing up better. It's all about those rear wheels as the pivot point, and this video illustrates this perfectly. Not sure why the algorithm showed me this again, but just know that this video really helped me a lot.

I really appreciate how this driver takes it slow and steady rather than try to be a Cowboy.I have seen about 10 drivers that were so skilled that they could do this in one fluid move. Once I was delighted to see one driver reversing at 90 degrees onto a weighbridge where he had only 6 inches space on each side of his Semi and was watched by about 40 other Semi drivers who were stunned and delighted as this driver stood on the steps of the truck and steered through the window. He was amazing an no I am no where as good. I wish that I was as good.

Yup. I was at a drop yard for Home Depot when I learned that! Slide the tandems because axle weights only matter on the road. In a lot you can put the tandems where you need to.

Hopefully this was a drop load?? Did not set up correctly imo, but he didn't hit anything so it was a good day, regardless of what we may say and he did quite well considering his approach. Also, if I was the guy in the red tractor, I would've dropped my trailer for him, especially since there wasn't gale force wind and snowing sideways and I would've reminded him to open his doors. We've all done this before, right? Lol SOUTH WATER MARKET, anyone? Who remembers those winds coming off the lake -20 wind chill 3am, jockeying for a spot, walking past the krack orrs and drug pushers, to your customer, praying you don't get robbed or killed walking back to your truck? peace and safe travels everyone!

That's really not a tight back in. The driver is not using half of the space between the fence and the other parked trucks. In other words, he's not pulling forward enough to angle his trailer more.
