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.

Most importantly you’re teaching how to think .not a single instructor or driver was able to explain how to think

[@davidpalmisano5115]

Why don't these instructors know how to teach??? All they do is wave their hands and yell at you. That teaches me nothing. Seriously, this video is great.

[@jackburton6239]

@@davidpalmisano5115 This was pretty much my experience. Finally got one to explain how I was screwing up and that way I could understand the errors I was making.

[@davidpalmisano5115]

@@jackburton6239 cool, did you get your CDL yet? I got mine thankfully, first time around on the test, BECAUSE of KZbin, and because the My Trucking Skills app,and a CDL college on KZbin who makes really good videos explaining how to maneuver.

[@prospect4954]

@@neilbreen9041 no one is born to do anything truck driving is a learned and skilled trade with time you gradually get better every trucker has been in the same shoes myself included being a rookie not knowing how to back, not knowing your points of reference that’s apart of learning. You mentioned that you teach yourself so teaching goes hand in hand with learning which makes you better.

[@RephaiahTchazelIsrael]

i finally attempted this maneuver for the first time and i actually pulled it off.. thanks for the vid 🔥

[@MyTruckingSkills]

I love it!!

Do you work for marten

No, I work for May.

[@pyrotuber1]

Thank you so much. I'm a rookie and this video can't be simplified any further. Exactly what I was looking for.

[@Chinese080808]

My first week going solo was nerve-wracking especially at the truck stops. Then watching your videos helped me gain a lot of knowledge and using your method makes backing easy. I was just getting comfortable with backing into spots when another driver who was struggling came knocking and asked if I could help him back in. I was able to with ease using your setup and he was so grateful. 🙏😉

[@MyTruckingSkills]

That's awesome, great to hear!!

[@Chinese080808]

@@MyTruckingSkills question, how come when attempting a blind spot backing we start turning to the left at 1.5 spots pass instead of at the end of 2 spots like sight side?

[@MyTruckingSkills]

It really doesn't matter, it's what you do afterwards. The sooner you turn (1.5 instead of 2), the more you have to jackknife when backing up.

[@Chinese080808]

@@MyTruckingSkills Understood! Thanks again!!

[@elindigeno1215]

I remember my first time I did a perfect back up. It was amazing.

[@rodneyvillebrun1150]

Your first setup is so important! I went with a trainer he never told me distances .. I had to learn for myself.. you need to know how much space and when to turn in these spaces when you do learn its so easy and you then can gain confidence...

[@2bituser569]

In school and first carrier was taught when driver window is in middle of the first space past the one you want then turn to 12 o’clock position. That doesn’t always work well. Since becoming a jockey I just learned that turning right after two spaces works better like you showed it here. Believe it or not for the Swift haters it was a swift backing mentor who taught me to keep wheels straight as you begin backing then apply wheel to the right if need be then left to get straight.

[@goodguygto]

The way I look at it!!, get to the truck stop early (very early), and you don't have to stress as much to find a tight hole!!!😮😮😮

[@CalebGrahamFitness]

Works most the time until you get to a drop yard at a DC where you gotta back into tight spaces in broad daylight to drop & hook, eventually you’ll have to back using these principles anyway even if not at a truck stop, so yeah plan ur day so you don’t have to do it every damn night lol but still it’s good to know and understand for when you have no choice & it was out of your control in terms of planning

[@giddygoat2769]

Thank You! This video explained backing into a spot clearly and simply. I've been struggling as a new driver and after watching your video I was able to nail it first time!!! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. 👍

[@MyTruckingSkills]

No worries man, download my game too to practice the maneuvers in theory.

[@MyTruckingSkills]

You are welcome. I can promise that if you play my game a ton, you will start to understand backing much easier in the real world and it will come more natural for you.

[@jakethehitman-187]

Simple easy instructions beautiful

[@kastrothetrucker7820]

Gracias bro this really helps im a rookie 😎✊🇲🇽🇺🇸

[@0017thNice]

I literally could not back until I started watching your videos. Thanks buddy!

[@MyTruckingSkills]

That's awesome to hear!!! You are welcome.

[@williamwohlwend6066]

I just want to say thank you. If guys and gals didn't do this I would be f***** because my trainer didn't show me anything. Thank you again.

[@khalidanejjar4404]

Thank you sir .. I have suffered so much with backing until I found your video.. this really helped me so much.

[@adelopez27]

Wow! I was taught to find your parking space then pull up to the next space then start turning your wheels. You pulled up to the next 2 spaces, looks like it made a huge difference. Gonna try it next time

[@jackburton6239]

Just passed my CDL test yesterday, but I still am somewhat weak on my backing skills. "My Trucking Skills" has been a very helpful resource. I am going to pay to unlock all the levels in the app and use it to better understand the way to approach these situations.

[@zach8969]

You are going to be weak on you're backing skills for a long time, if you aren't out on the road with a trainer yet you will find backing between 2 cones in school is alot different then backing between someone's Kenworth and Bubbas shiny chromed out Peterbilt with people pissed off they have to wait on a Rookie to get it in the whole. My best advice is to leave yourself enough time everyday to find a spot, you don't want to be at a narrow truck stop like this in a big city with only a couple tight spots left that no other driver wants. Just take you're time don't be afraid to pull up or get out and look or even swallow you're pride and get out and look, most drivers are assholes that hate rookies but some are very nice people who are more then willing to help.

[@ethiofirst5002]

This is a good and easy step to remember, it helps me a lot, I needed this, thank you.

Been watching these videos lately in the last couple days because I'm going become a truck driver and I still struggle a little to back in. These videos are helpful

[@manny2go293]

I like it. I've found way helpful to stop for a couple of seconds instead of start in a sudden. I meant, overviews the plan. This set (starting one) sets the perfect set up to do all to bup perfectly.

1:38 - You need pull Tractor little bit forward and keep beetwen Trailer edge and left open space about 4-feet. That's My Shneider School teach me and I always keeping this rule on my mind.

[@Eric345]

If we had a 360 view camera like modern vehicles. It will make backing a piece of cake. 💆‍♂️

one day probally

[@maper77]

With a drone you can have this. 😊

[@alcamerc9923]

This is all fine and useful if there are trucks available to guide you to where your mirror is suppose to be. When there are no trucks waiting for you, you use your imagination and trained eye to align your truck. When you get to that point, call yourself a PRO! Well done, bro!

[@MyTruckingSkills]

Thx man, I like the phrase "trained eye". I'm going to use that one. It takes a while to get one of those.

[@live2raid]

Important note is if the parking lines are diagonal at an angle you have to pull up a little further about to the 2 and half spot of the trucks. Turning at two trucks usually works only if the lanes are straight

[@christinapittman7882]

I'm on the road with a mentor now that only allows me to back one time a day while he yells and curses me out to the point I'm utterly confused and a nervous wreck during and after trying to back ..

ya, there are a ton of mentors like that, you should play my game a ton and I can promise that the more you play be better you are going to get a backing in real life, it will come more natural for you.

[@manojjacob9971]

Do you mean the part that he says 90 degree? Doesn’t the first part work with 48’ spread axles? I am a new driver pulling a 48’ spread axle. So far, I always try to get help from someone. There was one day at a Loves no one really helped me and it was so embarrassing to try so many times while other drivers yelling at me. I had to leave without parking. Usually some nice guys helps me and I am getting better every day. Now I am determined to learn backup parking.
