[@felipeluna5586]

Thanks alot man. I've been driving for a short time about 5 months. City driver. So your videos are very helpful. Ty

[@AdvancedTruckBacking]

Glad to hear that! Thanks for the feedback.

[@murdockdisraeli3015]

I think this is your magus opus on the Alley Dock. This video brings all the previous lessons into one. Bravo, Shelton!

[@reyes967]

Thank you, I am a new driver. I have seen your videos over, the more I watch them, the more I love them thank you so much

[@AdvancedTruckBacking]

Welcome! Thanks for the sub!

[@pentecostaltrucker7281]

I have been driving for many years and consider myself a pretty good backer. I stumbled across your channel and watched one of your videos and I instantly wanted to watch another and another. You have shown me techniques that I never even thought about and I can’t wait to put them to use. Thank you sir and please keep the videos coming 👍🏻

[@AdvancedTruckBacking]

My pleasure! Thank you for the feedback!

[@JimWall2]

[@AdvancedTruckBacking]

[@jakethehitman-187]

I'm going to try that early turn half turn or full turn this week thanks for the tip! Tires into the lane side skirt bottom edge of the trailer tells you where it's heading tires first side second tractor 3rd a lot of awesome nuggets here knowledge nuggets! One of the best backing videos I've ever seen

[@AdvancedTruckBacking]

Thanks JH!

[@dfaro8453]

Thank you. The alley docking is the most difficult one for me. I will try your method at school to see if it works for me.

[@truckerstevecdlinstructor]

Yes, another great video on Alley Docking

[@eugene448]

This guy definitely knows his stuff great teacher

[@martinharris5107]

Sir shelton trust im so happy that I've found your channel im learning so much i wish you were my instructor

[@martinharris5107]

One quick question so do you do videos of upshifting and down shifting

[@martinharris5107]

I'm in Jamaica and currently in truck driving school since I've these videos I don't give them a brake I just keep watching them over and over continue doing the great work and been the great instructor you are

[@habebewallah]

It appears at 2:48 the wheel movements are push straight back, then Right turn. Left Turn, Right Turn, Frpnt of trailer and push back? Correct?

[@AdvancedTruckBacking]

Yes, but it will be different each time.

[@FUELISLANDGLADIATOR]

Thanks man my road test coming up on November 22nd. Out of all the maneuvers alley dock is the one I’m worried about the most. Just need 1 out of 3 attempts.

[@AdvancedTruckBacking]

Good luck!

[@djcleanuptheoneandonly6894]

Your videos really help me

[@karlbishop7481]

Thank you for these excellent videos. I have watched others, some are quite good but you do a better job explaining the procedures. I am not a commercial driver but pull a 5th wheel RV. I generally am able to put it in a spot in a park in one pass but my storage spot at home is the worst. I have only a narrow single lane driveway to maneuver with no pull-up space. Your three views especially the tires should help me a lot in the future.

[@AdvancedTruckBacking]

You're very welcome!

[@MoneyMakinShepp]

When starting this manuever in a tight space or open space how much of a turn of the steering wheel should be enough?

[@cliffp.8396]

Excellent tutorial

[@AdvancedTruckBacking]

Glad you liked it

[@christinewhite1982]

Wish you were my instructor. My instructor wont let me try this and he has me do a pull up when im still not even in the box. he yelled at me once to stop and i said no let me do this and i got it in perfectly no pull up at all, the other student said his jaw dropped. But I was so flustered that I yelled at him I felt so bad I couldn't do it again and he just yelled at me more. he keeps barking at me and I don't know how to just get him to leave me be so I can just do it, I know I can I've proved it.

[@TemporalMatador]

This was my experience in cdl training. Trying to follow the instructor barking left, right, stop, pull up, or whatever from outside the truck is not going to teach you how to do it. Watching videos and demonstrations until you actually understand the mechanics, then doing it yourself is the best way. Most CDLs "schools" are only good for a truck to practice and test in and nothing beyond that.

[@____AFGHAN_______BOY]

Very impressive I learnt alley rock tahbsks

[@johnnyleon9218]

Thank you for your insights. Preciate ya.

[@AdvancedTruckBacking]

My pleasure!

[@bijanakbari2049]

I passed my friend! Thanks for being my instructor bro! I appreciate everything and everyone at the school! See ya again one day maybe!

[@AdvancedTruckBacking]

Never a doubt! Good luck my friend it was great working with you!

[@bijanakbari2049]

​@@AdvancedTruckBacking backed out of Stevens! Took a job with Indian River transport hauling tankers! Winterhaven terminal! Any tips other than reacting early and taking it easy and slow!?

[@coreythompson8318]

It definitely helped out a lot.

[@AdvancedTruckBacking]

Glad to hear that Corey!

[@tombarnes3004]

Hey Dave - when you get in that early turn (half or whole) to keep the tractor nearer the front of the trailer (incrementally) - don't you adjust your tyre path then? ie make it shallower? I tried it, but must be getting it wrong as when I'm following a curve to the tyre target but then try to bring the cab round early I loose the path a bit and have to put more steering in again. What am I getting wrong?

[@AdvancedTruckBacking]

You can over-do the early turn. You will have to monitor how the tractor is interacting with the kingpin and make subtle adjustments if it is changing course. It will take time. Sounds like you are on the right path Tom.

[@OKOKOKOKOKOKOK-zn2fy]

When your eyes seem to anticipate which view to look at, you know you are getting it.

[@chriskosloski2468]

You should offer one on one training for a 3 hour class !!

[@AdvancedTruckBacking]

I'm an instructor in Florida now.

[@chriskosloski2468]

@@AdvancedTruckBackingmy trainer said he not sure about my backing but he’s only given me 3 chances to back and each time was rushing me

[@Dwaynebaileymusic]

@@AdvancedTruckBackingwhere in Florida brother? I’m in Fleming Island,I go to JTech ,testing on Thursday.

nice view.see you later-mate! 👏

[@AdvancedTruckBacking]

Thanks 👍

[@Lalo_thr]

i got all the steps down but for some reason my aim is just terrible. I aim for one spot and always end up backing into a different spot, and then trying to fix it I end up near jacknifikg lmao

[@AdvancedTruckBacking]

Too much offset between tractor and trailer which is making the trailer rotate . Slow rotation with left turn. Avoid right turns. Makes you rotate twice as fast.
