How To Back A 53 Foot Trailer

[@stephenrecord6373]

Had to cut early to replace the power steering pump.

[@OLIVER949OC2]

You hear the pump struggling hahaha

That power steering pump screaming 😂

[@melodytheyeen]

I love the part where they back it in

[@JCthedude601]

This is pretty good advice. But it really depends on how much room you have in front of you that determines the EASIEST angle.

[@dark2000king]

Yah im still having a hard time backing up in these tight wear-houses takes me forever

[@autk]

Go to 10 or 10:30 then ...before you go to left 9..sets the same angle with less space...also 2 and a half spots is too far to go past your hole ..only go past to the end of one extra with your left shoulder... takes less room and sets the same angle...back up on front wheels straight and wait for tandems to slowly pivot, then hold a hard left to the hole.... finish with tractor wheels straight you're home.

[@ZNX05]

​@@autk wouldn't the distance you pass with your shoulder depend on the trailer length and where the trailer axles are set?

[@autk]

​@@ZNX05 I'm giving it for a sleeper, so yes even less with a shorter rig like a day cab...or short trailer, tandems don't really matter for length on set up, they matter on trailer swing for sure and the speed of the trailer reacting to wheel inputs...all the way back means a slower reaction time and less trailer swing, all the way forward, faster trailer reaction and more swing, so forward can get you into trouble if you don't maintain 4 feet off the line of trucks when you set up...get too close at the beginning with that swing and you'll be likely to hit or scrape if you're not watching like a hawk. The angle is what you're creating, when you get to your 9 o'clock come back on a straight and watch for the tandems to stop and pivot, hard left to the hole you're in. Sometimes a little correction when you're waiting for the tandems while backing, if you're too long cut a little left sooner and mix that with straight until the pivot...if you're too hot, meaning too close to the inside, stop. Straighten your front wheels on the tractor, pull forward one revolution of the tires, that's 8 feet, and come back again on a straight and watch those tandems for the pivot and go hard left for home.

[@Truckinwitit]

I needed this video 8 hrs ago 😭😭😭

[@shaydesofblue2281]

Loves truck stop: We don't have enough space for that.

[@autk]

Lol, the 12 and 9 has to be modified, sometimes you can't make it to 10:30, ...never heard 11 anywhere as a concept tho, always 12-9 Hell sometimes you cant make 10 o'clock on the way out to set up, lol ..get some bend in it and work it ...or do a jack 90 works every time, hell on your tires tho

[@JM-be1xm]

Do you have other backing up videos?

[@BloodOath]

This. Is the one part that scares me about driving truck I’m not comfortable backing up or even parallel parking scares me in my car lol 😂

[@spicyylexx6663]

Me toooo I’m debating bout getting my cdl that’s only thing that scares me 😂

[@1724nine]

You killin dat vovo powa steerin 😂😂

[@autk]

What its made for

[@cristhianmostacero7461]

to steer but if you continue to kill it it won't steer lol😂😂

[@EddieDaugherty-wp3oo]

​@cristhianmostacero7461 not in a semi literally what it's made for and you should be maintaining your truck daily, so it should never be a problem.. that is what pre trips are for..

[@autk]

​@@EddieDaugherty-wp3oo Yes sir. Folks talk about tire wear too with backing maneuvers, exactly what they were made for...inspect every day at beginning and end of your day, that's driver's job, preventative maintenance and due diligence.

[@omarthornberry9243]

This helped me. But I stopped when yoh stopped. I got help the rest of the way

[@anthony50864]

It won't work out for everyone because the wheelbase lengths aren't the same for every truck and the trailer axles are set in various positions.

[@Hood_Trucker]

It won’t work out for everyone because every backing situation is different. You may not have the space to reach 9 o’clock on your first turn.

[@tonymagick]

HF Transit is a really good dispatch company they keep my flatbed rolling😎💸

[@user-so9rl3vd7r]

At step 3 the truck is facing 12 o'clock. He turns clockwise to the right, the hands on a clock read 1, 2,3 . Why say 11, 10 9 ? That would be counterclockwise turning to the left. I'm obviously confused.

[@astronaut_69]

Fuck ! I can't even reverse my bike ! But where the hell is the rest of the video !?

[@Evan_meek]

Lol

[@Hood_Trucker]

Why the unnecessary step of lining your shoulder up with the parking spot if you were just going to use the 2 and a half trailers as a reference point to begin putting angle in your trailer? 🤔

[@djtblizzle]

You stop midway between your destination spot to make sure that the trailers on the left and right are completely in their lanes. If you use your shoulder, you’re pretty much dead center, and won’t be thrown off by viewing from a bad perspective.

[@cowlesjimmie]

Literally best I've seen yet.

[@aviatrix4life]

This video helped me so much!!! Thank you 😊

[@ryanheaton8742]

Thanks for the help.

[@danielgimj]

This is exactly how I backup too. Can you upload it NOT as a short so that I can show some of my coworkers that still need help backing?

[@bfields43ify]

I was trained by the best, Junior Honduras. Crete Driver 160128 I couldn't handle the pressure at Prime.

[@ericdurrant6814]

Might wanna put it in reverse if your "backing"

[@AmericanMadDog83]

Bro that power steering pump makin me cringe😬

[@keno8ty9ine]

Left out the hard parts 😃

[@Evan_meek]

What hard part

[@truckingwithfauz7089]

once you figure out this set up, you just need to look at your tandems in relation to the hole

[@mikezunker]

I'm just going to point out.... One of you really wants the hard part. One of you can't find his hard part (presumably because it's in a Volvo) The other wants to get it on the hole if it's hard or not. #StayClassy

[@Lukja08]

Reinventing the wheel... Just cut in, swing out, go forward a little, turn left so it's "hooked" into the spot you want. Then just follow it in the hole...

[@Whosyourdaddy-ty2xe]

Yep and it works every time

[@aidenday4858]

Thank you, backing isn’t the hard part it’s getting set up

[@Truckinwitit]

I agree.

[@mikezunker]

4 month update? Backing is the hard part until it isn't. Once your good at backing, you can do sloppy, lazy setups and it works just fine.

[@indigameriseminalindian]

I agree in the beginning.

[@autk]

It's all about the setup if you want it easy, why be lazy

[@jbenz1990]

just to confirm you went down 2 and a half spots because you did not have enough room on the dock side? If you had more room on the dock side you would have just drove 1 spot and then did 12 o’clock then 9 oclock?

[@autk]

Facts

[@RealNoSolution]

90 gang out here lol

[@amandaspear4103]

Very helpful thank you!

[@sirdodidankz7325]

The issue with this advice is that wheel base for the rig makes a huge difference on where your "shoulder" should be.

[@autk]

Sleeper vs Day cab etc...

[@ryanj5786]

How to back up a trailer: Step 1: Pull forward Step 2: ??? Profit ???

[@powerupvizuals]

That’s wrong my guy. you have your shoulder at the middle of the park NEXT TO the one you want to back in, and then you do your hard turns. 2 and a half trailers will have have you overshoot the park by a long shot

[@rodwellkennedy4703]

Should've had two cameras. The other to showthe results as he back the truck

[@nays8618]

Damn bro turn all the way

[@rziels7153]

When you turn your wheels with out moving you’re going to find lots of joints go out quicker

[@Tangodawg55]

How I’m really lost

[@omarsalem2845]

You can see he just left school. You pull up count spaces, Sturn the stereo to the right go up. Stop Turn the stereo to the left, go down. Stop Use the clock in your memory. Stop put forward, get out and lock 7 times stop, come back. The whole white the sweat off your face

You turned the wheel 1 to many times. Not shoulder!😂 line your drive tires with spot you want to park in. This will help in tight spots like amazon.

Mr instructor whenever you hear the power steering screaming that means you turning too much let go of the steering wheel you gonna mess up the pump within a year

Oh shit police involved in

[@dragsterguy38]

Why you backing from the side when you could have pulled up in front of that spot and got truck and trailer almost straight. Your backing from a side angle with a blind spot on your right. Asking for trouble. Never do a side back unless you have zero chance of any other.

[@ahmedejaz]

Dude forget the lesson, go easy on the steering pump

Not good on power steering pump to hold at stop points

[@Itsmoooose]

Wait wait, is this a joke or real because that seems like it would help if ur limited forward space from how I was taught the 45. I started turning one trailer over from the spot I was going in…
