This is to demonstrate that having your axles to the rear of the trailer can really hurt you when trying to maneuver around a tight area.

This Trucking Game may not be a view from inside the cab, but it's the most realistic physics that a truck makes where you get to understand how to truck operates in reverse. American Truck Simulator (ATS)and European Trucking Simulator 2 (ETS2) are the best trucking games that you get, and I recommend that you play them, but my game is created for people to just get used to reversing a trailer.
I have heard from so many users that truck schools across the country use my game and use my videos to show their students how to back up.

Slide tandems as far forward as they will go, slide your fifth wheel as far forward as it will go and get a ground guide. If no ground guide is available, be ready to get out and check after every foot of travel. Be mindful of your wind fairing! After 14 years of driving.. I changed careers because of crap like this.

Or at least, if I was a driver I’d make some kind of camera rig to attach to the rear corners so I could see on a monitor how close I am from different angles, also nice to see on the highway the cars behind me or just get a different angle of the load I’m carrying, making sure everything’s good.

Hiya. Im a trucker. It depends. If there's enough room for a straight back, rather than turning to back in, they can be close enough for truck mirrors to barely fit. Depending on how all trucks park, they can get a little tighter than this if you use some tricks, such sliding tandems mid-back to control how much tail swing you have, or disconnecting and reconnecting to sharpely turn the trailer without wiggling it back and forth. But also, even though tighter spots than this are possible, as a trucker, I would refuse to even attempt this if I were simply parking for the day. Although I have the skill, as I've backed into worse for shipper/receiver docks, so I had no choice, but then you worry about less skilled drivers hitting you. So I always park in spaces that's easy for other truckers to park next to me.

this reminds me of the loves over by grand junction. Literally the tiniest bit of space I have seen at a truck stop for parking. One time I had to go pull into a spot, then blind back out of it into the one behind it since there was no room even for a 45-45 turn. There were some nice drivers nearby who helped me (still super thankful for that), but still super stressful. I think with enough practice I probably could have gotten it in, but at the time, it was the only way I saw since it was late at night with no other spots available. I just got lucky with the placement.

Lots of drivers purposely park not centered but close to the right line. Attempting to create more space when it's time to pull out at O'dark 30. That make getting into those spaces impossible. Pass any truck stop at night ,you'll see empty parking spaces, but trucks lined up on nearby ramps .Sometimes you just gotta wake up your neighbor and ask them to move, which they usually do after initially losing their cool . It's a good night when you can park in an end spot so you can pull straight out.

Being a truck driver I’ve been in this type of situation all the time when driving the Pacific Northwest. When pulling out you are going to have to slide your axles period. And hopefully you can J hook it coming out the first time. Now backing in you need to first slide your axles all the way to the rear. Then on your approach you need to be as close as you can to the parked trucks front end. Then as you back up just as your rear axle on your trailer is on the passenger side corner of the parked trucks front bumper you jack Knife your rig so you are spinning the trailer tires on a dime on the ground. What this simulator does not show is the truck-trailer leaning out at the top and in at the bottom of the trailer. The tractor is also tilting because out there the lots are sloped big time for rain water run off. I hate doing this procedure because it’s extremely hard on the equipment and tires. It tears up the lot, puts flat spots on the tires. It puts abnormal strain on the trailer rear axle slider assembly to the point it’s extremely hard to slide your axles or you can’t slide them at all.

I've had a turn to get out of a local business that was similar to trying to pull out of one of these spaces. Just after I first passed my licence aswell. This job almost broke me til I realised that I was actually pushing my back wheels out on the trailer and giving myself a better angle to get out. Must have taken me about 25 shunts in and out of the road around cars and lamp posts in a narrow street. It was a good 25 mins of hell but the best learning experience.

actually watching this was really interesting for me because my mom was a semi truck driver cross country for pharma products before the murder-suicide that happened and so seeing this made me realize quite how hard it is at times driving a semi truck

You have a great working knowledge of the theory of truck parking. Very different in real life without a birds eye view. You did an excellent job utilizing the tools you have though and doing it in real life you should always use those tools as well. I've been driving for 20 years and consider myself an excellent driver in all aspects. One thing that I'm not afraid to do that many truck drivers are is stop, put my parking brakes on get out and actually walk around the truck. Guess what, I've never hit anything in 20 years. Oh and it's called a fairing on the back of the cab. Excellent job getting out and backing it in.

3:30 Are you saying that you have 20 years of driving experience and you're not mentioning the wear and tear on the tires, the axles, the bearings, and everything involved when trying to exit the parking lot?

@trainstractorscarsandtruck7362 8 ай бұрын
@DearMarcel I worked local for 12 years delivering to Grocery Stores sometimes with 6 drops in a day, plus truck stops and back to the Warehouse. Trucks and trailers are built to handle this kind of thing, it happens all the time. There is less wear and tear the further the axles are back. Not legal with a 53' trailer in North America except for a couple places though.

Yeah i started driving 2 years ago and my second drop solo was at a place that had about this much room. Luckily i had my tandems forward but it was a nightmare with so little experience. Might have taken me like 20 minutes to get it in but i managed it without hitting anything. Though I like to say thank you it didn't realize with a hard enough jack knife you could push the trailer back even though you are going forward. That is going to help me out a lot if i ever find myself in a tight spot.

I have applied this in real life with a 2019 Mack anthem sleeper truck and a 53' trailer. It is very common to strike the truck on you blind side if your tandems are forward since you are pivoting on your axles. I have learned sliding them to rear makes the trailer more predictable and I am not getting out constantly to check my blind side to make sure I am not taking anyone's mirrors off.
