[@doon714]

I agree with getting out and looking sometimes. but not sitting In the middle of the parking lot before he even starts backing up. But that's just my OP. But good job teaching and good job by the driver.

[@bill7778]

Axel, if you put a mountain dew bottle 10 feet in front of the tarp, he wouldn't end up too far to the left side. All you have to do is back around with the front trailer axle. I would do that myself sometimes , just so I would know for sure where the trailer is in relationship to the hole. He did a great job, and number of backs don't count anymore, but the number of hits do! So many people worry about how long/how many backs, hey backs are free, hitting someone is what costs.

[@truckeraxelmunoz4939]

You dam right my friend!!

[@justmyperspective7430]

Bill 777 I’m a new driver. I try to take my time backing and do my get out and looks, but these older drivers be about ready to fight if they think I’m taking too long 🤷🏽‍♂️ Backing a split axel in a tight truck stop spot can be stressful!! 😂

@@justmyperspective7430 they can either run up and get done up, or they can wait. Either way, i aint gonna worry with them.

[@BudG843]

It’s hard for me to back with those stacks blocking my view. I have to open my door

[@lilshocker13146]

what is the reason for dumping the air while backing up ?

[@DRTY3RD]

Sharper turning radius--or backing radius, lol. Spread axle trailers don't turn or corner near as true as closed tandems due to the friction on that front axle; the pivot point is actually on the rear axle. Dumping the air on the rear axle puts the pivot point on the front axle to help shorten the radius--but if you're not careful you can cut a corner too sharp. I ran with TMC for four years; haven't had a dump axle valve since, but when I did have one it did save my behind a few times.

[@pnpstrz]

I was wondering the same thing I’ve never had a dump valve for the trailer

[@fourierrocket]

Once he masters that split axel trailer, a tandem will be childs play.
