Reverse Offset #7 Your Set-Up

Error on the beginning of the video- said Right Mirror - Should have said Left Mirror. After the first setup, The striped cone was in view. Used two more small setups to get the left rear cone in sight.

OMGGGGGGGG ❤❤❤❤. I literally failed my skills test 5 times on the old maneuvers. My instructors failed me so much. They weren't teaching us much and when we made mistakes they didn't care to help us fix it so I was transferred to the new maneuvers. Again they were failing me because they weren't properly teaching me but I said I wasn't gonna test again until I was ready. I viewed this particular video for 2 weeks in a row at least 10 times a day. I took my skills test again for the 6th time and passed with flying colors because of your videos. I truly appreciate you. I wish you were my instructor I would've passed on the first try. Thank you so much ❤🎉

Thank you , I am struggling with correcting a poor set up and my instructor isn’t really helping. Thank you!

Hopefully this video and other videos on this topic will be helpful to you. Thank you for your comment.

I’m having trouble with this maneuver. I get my trailer to where it’s angle into the box but I always feel like I don’t have enough room for my tractor to clear the first cone as I make my turns to get the truck straight into the box. Any tips for this? Hope that made sense lol

Also whenever I follow my instructors steps on when to start my first couple of turns I always end up with like 4-5 feet from the left set of cones, we use 40ft trailers, should I maybe start my turns when the front most trailers tires are at the cone so I can get that 2 yards of space?

[@truckerstevecdlinstructor]

It’s all about a good setup. If the rear of the trailer (40 to 48 foot trailer) is one to two yards heading into the alley ( near the rear cone). You should never hit the top cone when backing in. View all the videos- to understand what I’am talking about. To understand the concept - trust your self. Once you learn how to control the movement of the trailer, you be okay. Keep practicing when you make a mistake, ask yourself “What did I do wrong?” Do it as many times as possible- no excuses. Keep practicing

@@truckerstevecdlinstructor thank you, the last class I went to do the maneuver one more time before class ended and the students in my group said I had it perfect but I second guessed myself and used a pull up. So I think it may just be me getting in my own head about it. Thank you for the videos, really helps a lot!🤝🏾
