My Trucking Skills Tip#17 - Blind Side Back Part 1

[@mattjenkins207]

Man your videos have helped me more than you'll ever know

[@MyTruckingSkills]

glad to here that!! remember to take down the curtain in the sleeper on the pass side of the truck if you are going to do a blind side back. it was a god send for me. helps too when you are taking a tight right hand turn and making sure you clear the pole of curb

[@mattjenkins207]

I'm about to take my Class A test next week I been driving with a guy I work with after a weekend watching your vids I came in backing like idk it was crazy he was like damn did u drive and practice backing all weekend

[@MyTruckingSkills]

awesome man!!

[@hollowhelmet13]

i just did my 90 degree backing today and i followed his instrucyions to the letter and I MADE IT!!!!! THANKS DAVID

[@MyTruckingSkills]

+Sam Martin you just made my day!!! I'm glad to hear it!!!

[@red_rakkoon6782]

I’m a 3 month driver now, and the way you present your videos, the angles, that’s how my mind works. And to be able to see this visual with me trying to figure it out all mentally has really helped my confidence and skill, thank you

[@MyTruckingSkills]

You are very welcome man. I'm happy to help!!

[@sergioarevalo406]

I’m back to hauling 53’s after pulling 28’s, I passed my road test but the backing alley got me nervous af, took me about 20 minutes to do, I didn’t hit anything and passed. Looking at this videos makes me feel more comfortable into backing 53’s again

[@pedrovargas0838]

I deliver fruit to downtown L.A. and your videos helped me tremendously in becoming a pro in backing in my 53 foot reefer in close quaters.

[@hghrnndz4181]

I've always admire people backing up those 53's. I deliver fuel. People like you give us so much when you share knowledge making the world a better place.

[@deezyboaa]

Man imma 3 week driver in the school , watched this video and pulled a blind side today and amazed my instructors ! Thank you for this video it helped ALOT

[@kevinkenner8007]

I don’t think you understand how much that one little comment helped me, “pull right to have a harder jackknife, if you overshoot” man that is crazy you have saved me like 4 pull-ups looking like a rookie. Thank you so much, I never realized it was that easy.

[@YeeeeeHaaaaa]

Kevin Kenner Exactly what I thought when he said that.

[@DustinDeweerd]

can we get a time stamp?

[@berniesands6201]

I done my first blindside back tonight and thank God I watch your videos!🤣🤣 I aced it and got a compliment a guy told me that I must have a couple years experience because they usually dread seeing May trucks because they take atleast 45 mins.🤣 and that's coming from a yard dog. Made my day. Lol

[@MyTruckingSkills]

I love it!!

[@WhoRU2Judge]

Your game 🎮 turned me from having 6 months experience to having 6 life times thank you sir you are the trucking God

[@MyTruckingSkills]

Where do I send the check? Thank so much for such a wonderful compliment, that means so much to me, best comment ever.

[@209Barbas]

Thanks brother! I've been fired from 3 jobs bc I couldnt park for shit but now its been 3 hours and I still have a job!

[@noneyabiznes5234]

Good Morning,just wanted to give ya a shout out and tell you Thanks for sharing your knowledge and videos. Very detailed. I've been looking outta a windshield for 43 years,and it's nice to see other drivers helping each other !! Keep up the good work !! Be safe out there brother !!! Safe travels !!!

[@zeusanton4147]

Probably the best tutorial I have seen put together. All the reference angles and lines is great. As with many others I am pretty much self taught but I am always looking for ways to get better. The way you showed reference points was very helpful. Really appreciate all the work you put into this.

[@mikecooper7094]

Please don't stop making these videos!

[@germanstoyota21]

It was really straight forward Nd I like how u used the interior view and everything you used to make us understand what's going on when we in that truck👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Dezwrr]

Bro, this video helped me out so much. I’m transitioning from flatbed which has spread axle‘s to tandem axles and I’m finding out that the reaction time is so much quicker with the tandems. So I appreciate the tips

[@hareed1510]

My problem was packing but now Because of you I learned a lot from you. I’m so glad, thanks man!! I really appreciate, god bless you.

[@dadmadforgot4050]

I’m not a trucker but I’m always amazed at the reversing skills! 👏

[@JayS64]

Ur rewinding is fine. You are teaching and u rewind at the best times .thx

[@berniesands6201]

Your a Godsend man these videos make it so much easier to back especially since they've taught me how to correct over shooting a space and when I've jack knifed too hard. I really appreciate you man. Thanks for what u do!

[@meylinguzman3235]

I was looking for a video that shows me the steering wheel. And glad I found this video.

[@TdawggLA]

The camera positions are perfect and really help with the description

[@TheRsbincsw]

I've lived by and old saying that goes,just when I got all the answers. They change the questions.

[@cityslicker631]

Excellent positioning I've been blindsided for 21 years and that is excellent position that is how it is done

[@FreedomLandTrucking]

You are a saint for doing all you do. Can't thank you enough sir.

[@brawler4456]

OH MY GOD YOU ARE A MAY DRIVER!!! I saw your tutorial on Jubitz and you said you've worked around the portland area alot. I was like "huh that sounds like us" Cheers from a fellow may driver.

[@lsinghca]

God bless you bro. No one explains like this you did! Thank you for putting your efforts into it.

[@raahgeer7840]

I can't thank you enough for your wonderful videos. I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@davidclay4627]

I found when I'm blind backing I open my curtains up in sleeper take right curtain down so I can see threw the sleeper where my trailer edge is. This helped me alot

[@MyTruckingSkills]

Absolutely, yes. Works great!!

[@mikeb4139]

Love the video I’m a city driver I love to blind side in places I think personal the trailer turns faster into a tight spot

[@waddupmahninja6447]

Beautiful explanation

[@MyTruckingSkills]

Thx

[@henrydixon3159]

Great video I am a new driver and backing is one of the most hardest task

[@mac1mike]

i start solo next week, 3 mo experience. Thank you so much for this video.

[@GarryS7777]

Just SUPER as you do usually ! Thanks a lot !

[@jackh577]

Wow. What a well produced video. Love all the camera shots and graphics. Also appreciate the excellent audio quality. Lastly your explanations are fantastic. Thank you so much!

[@MyTruckingSkills]

Thx for the compliment man

[@goldenexecutivenetwork2432]

Good information about this subject. Thank you.

[@nadsshawi7573]

You are professional person I'm so happy with your work

[@gurjantsinghsandhu4000]

obviously this very difficult. but this is possible . thanks for sharing with us

[@amadeusgrandson7357]

Gurjant singh sandhu yes sir never give up

[@jacquesdutron9954]

Thx for your efforts, however, this is the worse way to do blind side. The best way is to make sure you have enough space. Right after passing one trailer, you make a hard left. That will allow you to position yourself in a way, so you can just do a straight line backing into the space. Thx

[@nazdalaan]

You really teach me a lot, thank you so much.

[@reyes967]

Thank you for these great vídeos.

[@ThusSpratchScotty]

Bro , I owe my career to you. Thanks for the videos

[@MyTruckingSkills]

[@saltinyogame]

Man U have saved my ass one too many times i appreciate your videos so much thanks for all u do bc making these videos is not an easy thing

[@TT-zm8np]

3:45 to the top right I like how it says GOAL on the trailer for “Get Out And Look”

[@ikmarchini]

This man knows his trade.

[@alexrev13]

What a skill, I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.

[@sergioedgarsantos]

Your videos are a great great help. Thanks 👍

[@djcalvin681]

Nice camera work and great explanations..thx

[@donaldbartram6315]

I'm not bragging or being a so called super trucker, but dam no one taught me a thing I learned it all on my own. Well my dad taught me to shift. LOL

[@borispatino]

Yea Man This is an Amazing Video The Best Ive Ever Seen Better then Mega Carrier Training Videos and they actually have the money to put out the Recording Equipment 5 Stars Excellent Work on this Video

[@pyaesonetun25986]

Very useful video clips, thank you

[@jamespepples2446]

I bet this guy is a excellent student trainer, he shows both how to an what happens if you do the steps,

[@davidjackson4924]

Curtains tip helpful 👍 👌

[@luisrosario363]

Have to blindside back into a dock that sits inside a garage type warehouse tomorrow and very little space out in front. Going to be interesting to say the least. With your tips and insight we will be allright. 💪😎 Taking that curtain off first thing in the am. 😂

[@MyTruckingSkills]

Hey, send me an satellite image from Google maps and I'll make a map of it in my new game. Send me the address too [e-mail]

[@okie1630]

Superb, thank you!

[@TheRsbincsw]

In my 18 months or so of driving I've done maybe a dozen blindsides because that was the only option available. Yes I'd do a dozen or so GOALS. I've had some get impatient and start honking because I'm creeping along several feet at a time. And I've had others help ground guide. Pucker factor was a 10 but I've not hit shit yet.(knock on wood). There's the super trucks that it's all about them, but there are quite a bit who will help ground guide which is decent of them. They may break my balls a bit while helping but thats fine by me. I thank them and go about my business.

[@Fetidaf]

I drove for about 3 years and I think I’ve done one blindside, and I did another just because I wasn’t sure I could go down the road to turn around and decided to try it. 40 minutes later I decided to check out Google maps and found a place to just turn around lol

[@ShawnaGraham50]

Thank you so easy to understand love your videos

[@dannyw3020]

I been backing into tight spots for a while now but I do believe there's always more too learn, enjoyed your vid man! Your Accent makes me laugh

[@MyTruckingSkills]

Glad you enjoyed

[@jeremyhuggins8796]

Great instructional video! Definitely going to check out some of your other ones.

[@vince5105]

This is truly helpful video man...Great stuff👍Thanks

[@jaimegee]

What a great video!!! 2 thumbs up. Done

[@rexhargrove5172]

This is absolutely brilliant!

[@abrahamabraham8628]

I finally got the right video. Thank you man.

[@otmanotm8329]

Thank you very much I'm using your toy. And you've helped me a lot.

[@CDLMAX]

........and you made it look so easy. Great video!

[@marcocamberos7470]

Hey friend i call that,, EXPIRENCE... good video...

[@skydivingisfun]

That mini window trick I'll have to try that. Great idea

[@MyTruckingSkills]

It comes in handy too if you are taking a tight right hand turn and you want to make sure you are not hitting anything because it always looks like you are going to hit something in that tiny right mirror

[@skydivingisfun]

@@MyTruckingSkills that it does. 3+ years of driving never thought of that window. For tight right hand I either button hook snd/or jug handle if needed. I actually have done goal on a tight right hand lol. Worst back was the pilot on state highway 140?(I think) outside memphis tn. 90 degree blind side into a slanted spot with maybe 4 inches on either side of trailer and almost no room upfront.

[@MyTruckingSkills]

It took me 12 years before I discovered that window. I used normally have the curtain closed but one day I had it open and when I was making a tight turn out of a dock I happened to look over my shoulder, and low and behold I could see the trailer and the truck next to me!!! Mind blown!!!

[@skydivingisfun]

@@MyTruckingSkills is it a good view or just partial? But hey in a blind side some xtra view is better then no view.

[@MyTruckingSkills]

It all depends on you truck, very little with cascadia, lots with international. My fridge is blocking my view now so I can't see anything 😭

[@AdamGbl95]

A cheating way is to turn your right mirror so you can see your tandems and trailer tail until you cant turn it anymore.... it helps a lot. Just turn the mirror while your angle gets sharper.

[@alaynprieto7369]

Perfect you are the best,,,,,,,,,,really really good video ,,,,,,

[@taghredmohamed7272]

That is a mazing. Thank you so much ❤

[@Rishavideos]

You dont know how much you video has helped me your the man thank you

[@luistabares6994]

Oooooo!!! Man at the end some body explain exactly what happen thank u Sr

[@retroviruz]

You worked at May!? Me too 🤣 I love your videos and game helps me a aloootttt

[@elmaleanteoccanaltrans6781]

Excellent videos

[@puncherdavis9727]

I used to go to the end of the lot and turn left hard as I could. Unhook and rehook and bring it back around to do a normal driver side back in. Took 5 minutes extra and didnt hit stuff..but thats me.

[@shahnawaz-cg5vl]

Thank you very much. This video is so helpful

[@santosavila1404]

Excelente... Muchas gracias..

[@DON2A22]

This is beautiful

[@mad-mullah3117]

Man your videos are valuable.

[@SC7_Gaming]

Hello great man, I'm one of your fan, I'm learning more with you, I want become truck driver classe 1, I'm asked if you can make more videos to show as how's the great way or rules to follow for coupling the truck with the trailer.? Thank you in advance.

[@ianwaters1144]

You’re making it very hard for yourself trying to back in at 45degrees, especially between trailers. Personally I keep the hard lock on longer and aim to get the trailer straighter

[@rlzconway451]

Great tutorial, enjoyed this, thanks a bunch!!!

[@kaizillaboy]

You so funny! "I'm going to end up hitting this guy if I keep going WHICH IS FINE as long as you don't hit something".

[@clikzip]

Thank you

[@joojooo546]

Great video man! Love the steering wheel great idea

[@shapegifter1637]

Thanks for your help , please can you do a wallmart, Sam's parking please.

[@sijonda]

There is a dock in New Jersey that you're forced to blind side back into a single dock that is recessed in the building. There is also a fence in front of the dock so you can't pull straight out. You have to dock with the truck pointed to the side. I had to spot my co driver the first time we were there. The second time I was driving. He didn't see I was going to hit the corner of the building and didn't stop me from bumping it. I'm still frustrated about it. Customer didn't care but I did.

[@MustangDesudiroz]

I cant believe you didn't even get out and looked.. Noice..

[@magicstrucking2163]

I am at driving school so it’s so hard for me to do 45 I hope I get it this video is so helpful

[@Freightab97tz]

[@thineshnagarajacholan4210]

Thanks bro awesome

[@raheeljaved3668]

Very very weldone

[@vk3617]

[@damondusang1210]

Another great video. I'll be practicing this one with many spot empty around.

[@abdullahiahmed7484]

Great videos as always. But. As much as I wanna try blind side I see my self afraid of hitting something. So I always end up doing U turn and do site site park.
