Backing up with geometry, Warning, video may be confusing for most. lots of talking!!😂😂

[@failyourwaytothetop]

This will help me just fine since I am a High School MATH Teacher. Most trainers are incompetent. They have NO abilities in pedagogy. Lacking pedagogy, they lack the ability to empathize because the trucking industry is dominated by the ALPHA MALE. You are a genius, buddy. I often thought on how to adapt my math ability to compensate for my severe lack of innate driving skills. I am amazed by many drivers who dominate the truck and park it without second thought.

What you are doing here is fab, I am a returning driver. Got my license way back in 1984 and the last time I drove was 2007. So there's a lot of water under that bridge.

Oh...this is great, especially for those of us that want to know numbers behind the process.

[@Anamnesis]

This view reminds me of the super advanced 360-degree camera systems they put on some high end cars which use multiple cameras to show a simulated overhead view of the vehicle. Makes you wonder if one day tractor trailers might adopt something similar for backing purposes. Or even some kind of semi-autonomous parking system like newer cars have. I'm not even one for automation or self driving as I love to do it myself, but there's almost an argument for it in this scenario. Maybe a computer with good precision might even be able to squeeze an extra trailer or two into the same area to maximize space in the lot.

But proper comprehension of the intended message is the most important aspect of any video/educational source. This is where the pausing and explanations come into play. Along the lines of your comment. If someone feels that they don't need clarification. They can use mute.

So when he got out to guide me and I completed it he said he liked my set up and was surprised I finally did it.

So I've been on my own now going on a month. I was with my trainer from hell for what seemed like an eternity, however was just over six weeks. But an eternity in dog weeks. He taught me to slow down in curves and not hit anything. Being 55, those things I was already privy to. The first 2 weeks when backing up on my own, well, fckn crazy. Lol Trailer way left, I'm shaking, some truckers pissed, and I'm thinking, I can't do this job. I suck. Then I came upon your vids. Things progressed nicely. Obviously I was over steering. So I thank you for your help. I now wonder, what the hell was I thinking the first 2 weeks? Lol Sure, I'm still a work in progress, but the job is so much more enjoyable now with no stress. Thank you, mate!

Your videos are pretty cool man, I was just waiting for years more of trial an error to get better. Awesome! Thanks a lot

[@GRAF426]

What your doing is great! We thank you

[@richardtamminga3711]

I believe what you're doing is great,but the back of the trailer is not the same as the back of your truck. But that's not my issue, that's just tutorial,.... you call this little room to maneuver. I haven't seen your truck almost hit your trailer, saying you have way enough room to maneuver. You did a pretty standard docking. We DO learn these here in Holland. So this is more a complaint about your driving schools than about your video. Keep up this work. I guess many can benefit from it,since ya'll don't seem to learn to much getting the license. Driving a truck requires a good concentrated driver,knowing instinctively how his truck reacts to certain movements of the steering wheel. Most important is to take it easy. Rushing only leads to failure. And a lot of patients dealing with dumb ass drivers who think they're king of the road with their fast loud and fancy cars. Just relax keep your distance and your eyes on the road instead of in your laptop or newspaper.. stay safe all

[@lisahughes7053]

Been binge watching your videos the last couple days. I went to CDL school got a job almost out of training for the company I work for but the backing is my only issue. I can do a 90 if I'm the only truck trying to park. My issue is I get nervous and not wanting to hold up the other truckers trying to drop their loads.

I don't understand how on some other videos. He did turn his steering wheel to the right, but on this one. He never turned the steering wheel to the right. It was all straight wheel, & turning to the left. This confuses me. Is it because in the 45* backing, you need to turn the steering wheel to the right, & in a 20* backing, you don't?

You will pass, that is what the pay them. The only reason you wouldn't pass is if you quit. The reason it cost so much is because they provide the truck, the land, the insurance the employees, the fuel and so much more.

My goal is not to compete with truck schools and create a tool for all of them. Having people sit in a classroom is pointless, when they can learn from home on their own time. There is just so much of the truck school that can be done on your phone or computer. The only think I really thing you really need the truck school for it the use of the trucks for the backing and driving. I just feel like you can eliminate the classroom completely. I didn't learn anything in the class room, everything went over my head. I don't learn very well in the any classroom. But give me an something interactive to do and I do much better. You can make pre-tripping, air brakes, combination, log books, trip planning, you can even learn to back up with my game, but you for sure need the actual trucks and trailers to put it do it for real. It just takes the edge off.

So will having it all the way back effect my turning or backing ? what about winter driving if i'm too light on my steers?? again before it was in second to last so I believe i wont feel a difference at all the truck is in the shop now for maintenance so i'm just analyzing on down time lol
