Thanks, I can now play American Truck Simulator without destroying my truck and other cars

[@nvm5016]

How I learned how to drive a regular car (no joke) gta. I used to drive regularly like it was me in the car. Now I'm good driver... somewhat. I still make mistakes like hitting a curb, but I've never hit a person so that's good.

[@tcg1_qc]

@@nvm5016 same, the first time I actually drove I found it very easy, because I had been playing driving and racing games for a long time

"Out straight, turn late." Curves: hug opposite the direction of the curve. Curve right, hug left. Curve left, hug right.

[@Cdlcollege]

You got it, hg2.

[@robertwinters1811]

Best way to say it is, "you don't drive the tractor, you drive your trailer." I was truck driver for 10+ years. Good videos!

[@Evld]

Why arent you still in it?

[@robertwinters1811]

Health, back surgery. Doctors told me either drive and never walk or stop driving.

[@Evld]

Did the truck driving caused you this?

[@Alexdaman15]

most likely yes this is avoided with easy exercises. simplest is stand with feet about 18 inches apart 8-10 inches from wall then put both arms straight out then bend at waist putting both hands flat palmed on wall between legs. and repeat works well for sciatic nerve pain from sitting for prolong periods of time

[@QUANB804]

Great pointer

[@EnchantedMirrorTarot]

My school sucks. I would never have gotten as far as I have without you. Thank you for everything

[@AK47HEAVYMETAL83]

Best advice I could give you is to check your mirrors every 6 or so seconds, so you’re aware of your surroundings at all times. I’m currently over 1 mil miles in 9 years, no accidents, no tickets….yet 😅😅 Be safe on the road 🤘🏽😛

[@shunundredavis4495]

Same lol

[@jamieconnon4654]

Another good tip is do not make a right turn on a red light. Wait till it is green. I only turn right on red if there is little to no traffic and I am know the area.

[@surfinbird71]

I sucked at these turns today. I will nail them tomorrow thanks to you. Great vid.

[@AK47HEAVYMETAL83]

Take as much real estate as you can. I usually take up half of the lane next to me when I make turns on semi tight (or if I’m unsure how wide the road is) turns.

[@ShanntahnPininchula]

@@AK47HEAVYMETAL83 Excellent advice. I have noted it.

[@Fetidaf]

@@AK47HEAVYMETAL83 I always use up as much space as I legally, safely, and reasonably can whether I’m doing turns or backing up or whatever, even if it means I’m doing a 70ft pull-up to line up perfectly straight with the dock or I swing out 20 ft more than necessary because why the hell not? And in my years of driving I’ve never come close to hitting something because of off tracking… except maybe a curb or two 😬

[@gaweyn]

I don't even have a driving license, but playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 I really needed this lesson, thanks for it!

[@Pakhira148]

😂😂

[@ragamuffinhooligan4019]

All cdl driving instructors should watch this! That's all. 😎

[@keithmusac137]

You all are OUTSTANDING!! Thank you so much! I wish my instructors were as excellent as you all.

[@lcifermorningstar191]

Great refresher. Trucking for 20 years.

[@Cheeto_Fingerz]

Gonna get my CDL in a few months when I turn 21, this video hugely improved my confidence and knowledge of making turns.

[@Cdlcollege]

NIce! Check out our 10-speed shifting tips video if you need help with driving. Cool backing maneuvers videos, too. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Cheeto Fingerz.

[@tonydbest23]

Thank you for your video. I payed $2000 to a school in GA we only had one day road training and we had to tested on ourselves bc our instructor was at the DMV that morning.

[@Cdlcollege]

Sounds like a crash course in trucking, Antonio. Glad to know that you benefitted from our video. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@UsamaUllahUSA]

Thanks I got my license watching this video

[@NourDette]

Thank you for explaining the proper way to turn. I believe every instructor should watch your videos, so they can explain to their students in a clear and precise way. Thanks

[@jordanhenshaw]

Key thing is to just remember to always watch the trailer in your mirror whenever you make any sort of turn.

[@011374]

I have passed my cdl test today and am full fledged truck driver because of you guys . I have learnt a lot and still learning from you guys . You have no idea how what you are doing is improving many peoples' lives including mine . Thanks again guys

[@Cdlcollege]

We have many more videos to come, Nelson. Congratulations on passing your test! Pretty cool, huh? Thank you for watching and learning from our videos. Your comments mean a lot to us. If you're ever in Colorado, stop by. Stay safe out there, brother.

[@kristiangutierrez6560]

[@stevenposigian7275]

This video is well made with some great POV camera shots and graphic illustrations. As a CDL Instructor myself I also liked the narration and terminology that was used while at the same time keeping definitions short and easy to understand. Thank you for helping me to be a better instructor!

[@jamiephillips620]

Another excellent video from the best CDL instructors in the game, of course I know how you guys roll so I expected nothing less than a well done, informative and professional video. Thank You

[@johnhogan8525]

Very well done! Organized, clear, concise, well paced & narrated.

[@ChadvillainHStaff21]

Thank you for demonstrating this video. You have actually found the answer to my problem about the turning radii of vehicles. It makes A LOT of sense now.

[@hummer6300ify]

I am looking to become a driver in the coming months and going to school for it. Your videos are very detailed and very helpful. I want to go into it knowing as much as I can and this video has made me even more motivated! Thank you! Subscribed!

This is beautiful thank you guys !!!!! Started a driving program and now I can lane manage like a pro !!!

[@jessybrown7108]

Without a doubt, one of the best videos I have ever watched . Thank you very much all. Way too professional. Cheers and God Bless.

[@nutech8742]

When I trained at SCHNEIDER, the trainer told us to make button hooks using the lanes with ONCOMING TRAFFIC to make the turns. Didn't know that was ILLEGAL until I got more experience. They also said you can check the tire pressure by using a HAMMER hahahahaha

[@BigRigJeffro]

So it’s illegal? Seriously? They have me doing this and I’m failing miserably at it too. I was not taught this at Prime inc when I got my cdl. They still do the hammer thing at Schneider. Tomorrow they might be firing me if I don’t do the button hooks.

[@blacktophead8454]

@@BigRigJeffro if all else fails you can drive for yourself using UBER FREIGHT with your own truck. There are also other companies that pay great to owner operators. RYDER rents tractor trailers

[@blacktophead8454]

TRAFFIC LANES ARE 10FT WIDE!!! Always look at your BOTTOM MIRROR to see if the FRONT of the back set if tires are far enough up before turning the wheel

[@robotube7361]

@@Cdlcollege This is very important information. Im currently driving lessons with a 4 wheel truck but this still applies to some manner to any longer vehicles than a car. I keep driving the truck like a car and keep hitting the curbs and Im driving my instructor crazy. He always says: "Watch the mirrors, Watch the mirrors" and Im not listening. Only now I realize what he is trying to say and how imortant this is. Thank you so much for this visual course. This is life changing.

[@Cdlcollege]

We would love to open training centers all over the world! We already train people from many countries, but those people have moved to the USA so it's easy for them to come to school here in Colorado. Badr, do you want to come to America to earn a CDL and then return to the Philippines, or stay in America? I'm still a little confused about that...

Oh, sorry for the confusion Sir., I need to go there and be trained, so i can can earn my bread and butter there. I will be seeking greener pastures there., I would like to be trained professionally then work legally in North America

Watch your trailer intermittently: trailer, front, trailer, front, etc. OK bye.
