This Trucking Game may not be a view from inside the cab, but it's the most realistic physics that a truck makes where you get to understand how to truck operates in reverse. American Truck Simulator (ATS)and European Trucking Simulator 2 (ETS2) are the best trucking games that you get, and I recommend that you play them, but my game is created for people to just get used to reversing a trailer.
I have heard from so many users that truck schools across the country use my game and use my videos to show their students how to back up.

Bro I am so thankfull for your app. In my school the trainers are very unprofessional and don't care too much to explain anything... I spent couple of hours on your app and my alley dock parking now is spot on, cuz now I understand the mechanics behind Truck turns, maneuvers, angles and stuff. Thank you so much man !!!

[@okie1630]

which videos would you recommend for that?

[@bracalares]

@@okie1630 idk about videos but this app helped me a lot. Just go on practice Mapp and play with truck. There is nothing to hit, so u can get familiar with mechanics of truck and trailer together.

[@okie1630]

@@bracalares Thank you for the quick reply, nkzizou!

[@melvinmelvin8577]

I watch the other video on alley dock and went in today shining! Thanks for the videos

[@sammysanchez7996]

What app ?

[@mohamedsadik8210]

This is the ultimate way of teaching, you make things simple and easy to understand that even a kid or an old man can learn from it and enjoy it in the same time. I’m sure you’ll be a great father. Thanks a lot for your efforts and valuable time.

[@raahgeer7840]

What an eye-opening video. Take away from this lesson is "It's much better to turn too late than too soon"

[@williamhendrix3253]

yup basically the way I see it, turning earlier is safer up to a point because your right trailer corner will be further away from the truck behind you. but if there’s isn’t much room to the right, you need to turn later

[@White-_-Storm]

yeap, I did it exactly like that! I didn't fix it. had no idea how. just reversing all the way to start again with different set up. so encouraging I'm not the only one who did that. I consider myself at that time ( last week) an idiot finding me in that wrong position. thank you for all your work here

[@surfkraken8182]

Got my CDL about three weeks ago and spent last week in a 48' trailer. The majority of my backs were like the one in this video. Just wanted to let you know your vlog has been a big help for me in learning to drive tractor trailers. I will keep watching to up my game. Thank you.

[@shadowcat314]

I'm a new driver and have a customer with a lot like this. I was doing exactly what you said new drivers do in the video, I've only been able to get away with it by backing into a double space. This is extremely helpful video, thanks.

[@proudcanadian9816]

I'm in training right now and I can say that THIS is exactly what I'm doing 🙄😢 and I'm working on trying to kick these habits. Problem is I don't know WHY I keep doing this over and over, except to say maybe it's because I just cannot "SEE" what the trailer is doing UNTIL it's too late *SMH* if that makes any sense

[@danielgimj]

This video is SO Helpful! I was in this scenario today and was having some trouble. It took me a very long time. This video explained what I needed to do. Thank you!

[@DarknessessB11]

I scraped a trailer today, been drinving a few months and struggle a lot still. After CDL school Ive had basically no help with it but your videos help me a lot. My issue is I blank out when I get in trouble.

[@johnhogan8525]

ME TOO!!! Brain freeze!

[@rack_9]

Bro me and you in the same spot,when someone tries to yell at me or become confrontational I loose my vibe and confidence and cant think and start mistakes that I normally wouldn't make or become clumsy 🤣. When I'm in a good mood everything's cool,but the minute I mess up and get in trouble for it I blank out,lose focus,and start overthinking that everybody is talking shit and watching me 👀.

[@musawarahmed5486]

​@@rack_9 thats me too

[@jessiehughes9432]

Just slow down an take it step by step..I do the same when I start messing up,keep practicing you'll get it.

[@syedvoyage]

Just a word of advice the reason why you get a brain freeze or whatever you wanna call that is because you start panicking and start worrying about what other stink just relax yourself upright and give yourself plenty of room to work with tight spaces. You can still create plenty of roomluck to you good luck to you

[@planktonus]

Great lesson. Thanks a lot 👍

[@ZiggieHood]

I was taught to start turning out when your drives get into the spot you want. It's what works for me

[@MikeDCWeld]

Different methods work for different people. I have trouble consistently doing a 45-45 back starting by lining up my fifth wheel with my spot, but I found it a lot easier to do when I line my should up with the edge of the spot. My trainer said that not everyone can do that setup well.

[@Lu1gi7]

3.24 very common mistake I always make

[@jasonbencosme8739]

This guys is a genius

[@qstormchicagouberdriver8768]

I like this. I'm going to do something like this similar coming off the street with not much room on the passenger side

[@armaansheikh5170]

Im a long haul driver in Canada US . I was confused in trailer backing your videos r really very helpful thanks for uploading .

[@danlindeke4039]

You can slide trailer axles if that would help you.Having long overhang is hard to judge.

[@gj-kv1ne]

Love these vids.😊

[@gossedejong9248]

absolutely brilliant

[@Wendy-zl8kv]

You are the best!

[@travissolomon1671]

As we know this is informative but he left out a key point when trying to correct the insertion, the tractor itself on either side will come in contact with your trailer. I do like the advice on knowing when to break and get under your trailer

[@hainguyen-yr6fq]

Awesome tips. I make these mistakes all the time

[@kowal789]

I’ve always lined up tight to the side I’m backing to, going about 20 feet past and sagging out, but it is relative to the headroom I’ve got. I more or less do long and slow turns. Lately though, even after my 8 years and sadly tagging one truck on the blindside, I just pass up super difficult spots

[@user-xe7bb6ub4j]

Thank you🎉

[@karinahernandez257]

Thanks for this video

[@vanessaknight7129]

This is so helpful, these are the maneuvers they teach in school, real life situations, anyone can do easy set up, its the hard ones light tight spots thats we need to learn about.....thank you...

[@Liki857]

Thank you so much

[@imadahmmad1965]

Thanks

[@abdullahiahmed7484]

Hello there professor. I love your videos as rookie person I’m. I’ve learned so much from your videos. I even bought the My truck skill game. I love it. The one question that I can’t figure it out is. Tandem adjustment where’s the 41 feet mark. What hole and how can I figure it out. Please do a video of that. It would help a lot of us out there

[@jayarchuleta7508]

Exactly what I was doing today on my test out.. ut I finally figured it put after a few resets... you may know it... mays denver yard... imaginary fence down center of concrete gutter strip in middle of yard.. wish I would've seen this before i did my 45.. lol but this was published a few hours after.. lol

[@Hidingfrompeople]

Mays denver yard. Oh my god that place is horrible. I love this company but good lord I hate denver.

[@jayarchuleta7508]

@@Hidingfrompeople yaa it is becoming a nightmare.. getting to full.. wasn't like that a month or a little more ago..

[@ColGales]

I just had to do a back similar to this in Illinois and did the same process before I even seen this video wow small world

[@maxmoreno5891]

Aim the wheels not the box this is how it is done and any pull ups should be as long as possible.

[@proudcanadian9816]

@MyTruckingSkills Hi David, I was working with my Trainer this weekend for a few hours and I am STILL making these errors *rolls eyes* . My problem is that I'm having trouble *SEEING* what the trailer is actually doing. So I'm either turning TOO early or TOO late *rolls eyes* I'm trying, I really am trying but it's frustrating when even though I'm trying hard but still not seeing what the trailer is doing until its too late

[@angel2471112]

I just want to know what maneuvers would you do if it was even less room to try to swing the tractor to get under it.? Because this type of scenario is my #1 enemy when it come to trucking lol

[@berniesands6201]

What kind of drone do you recommend to get good video?

[@alaanoureddine3759]

I have a question tho when backing up the trailer goes opposite to the stearing wheel to some point then it goes along with it.how would I know when to reverse the wheel to opposite direction?

[@sissy3268]

Thank you so much I am truly learning a lot from watching your videos. Also, This would be great to have a free app game like this to work on your backing to apply to the real world.

[@MyTruckingSkills]

It is a free app to work on your backing. You just have to pay to remove the ads and unlock the levels.

[@CrashRebootL3]

👍👍

[@jsqueak38js]

What about when the 5th wheel is slid forward and it takes longer for it to chase under

[@silverbacks80]

I love your videos and learn a lot. I still have hard time backing in truck stop where not have enough space at front. What would you recommend.thank you

[@silverbacks80]

@VX and HE thank you 😊

[@lbrezy2799]

I work at Amazon and I have to do a u turn before almost every ally dock got any tips on that

[@prabhjotsingh7730]

[@Whowhatwherewhy]

Helps if you slide your trailer tandems all the way back

[@johnrogan571]

Good tip. ...45 degree backing fails In tight lots.

[@dalila4934]

[@sandrajackson4599]

I am training I need to understand what get under the trailer means When doing a 45 how do I readjust if I’m coming in to or not close enough And what is the trucker Language

[@MyTruckingSkills]

"Chase the Trailer", "Follow the trailer" and "get under the trailer" all mean the same thing, it mean that you want to straighten up the truck and trailer. you know longer need the truck and trailer to be angled and you just want to drive in a straight line.

[@Historypaths]

Why you don’t just in diagonal ? Will be much easier

[@martinjohn8370]

can you send a demo free version for pc please

[@666Kazekage666]

In the real world I would not dock on 7 unless expressly asked to dock on 7, I would dock on 5. Hug the north side, U turn left and drive towards dock 5, and do a giant pull up, and back it straight in. As truckers we should all know how to dock on 7, but we should always be minimizing risk.

[@MyTruckingSkills]

Well said

[@SamSam-od1ys]

I got my cdl, being training for 1 month, but backing maneuvers straggling. Not sure if ill ever get it right. Don't what to do. I can't never figure out the size of the truck and trailer, in order to position myself and start turning.

[@MyTruckingSkills]

Just play my game, it will reinforce the maneuvers into the real world, and teach you what to do! It couldn't hurt to try 😊 Link in the description.

[@SamSam-od1ys]

@@MyTruckingSkills you think is a matter of experience and practice? My trainer thinks that.

[@MyTruckingSkills]

Yes, for sure. This is just another way of practicing without hitting anything

[@SamSam-od1ys]

@@MyTruckingSkills but, this way will take me months. What you think?

[@SamSam-od1ys]

@@MyTruckingSkills which way is another way?

[@MarcoBrandizi]

The game sounds very cool, but it doesn't seem to support trains combinations like B-doubles or double trailer with a dolly in between.

[@MyTruckingSkills]

Not yet. Once I get my developer back, that will be an option.

[@MarcoBrandizi]

@@MyTruckingSkills thank you for your answer. So far, I've practised those combinations with Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, but that game of yours seems better to train people in their beginnings (thanks to the projection lines and the complete view from the top).
