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.

@ScottZane7 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.

I taught my students in situations like these, to roll the tandems back...that cuts down damage . And of course, Get Out And Look, never presume anything. All the best from Smith and Solomon Schools, NJ. " Lamont "....

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.

Okay, well maybe it is a tight back in. I'm simply going by what I saw in the video.

+380PPK there's a fire hydrant in the front. And a post. U can't pull forward or else u gonna get stuck against the wall. This place sucks balls. They should have a drop and hook policy for all trucks
