just done a job in scotland, not got much reversing experience, the 2 people banking me in we're both seasoned drivers, had to back into a warehouse, through a door with 3 inch room at either side, on my blindside, in a tight car park. the younger one was getting frustrated, throwing his arms about at me, the older guy told me to tell the younger guy to go fuck himself and take all the time i needed 😂 sometimes just need to take a deep breath and get out and take another look at things. great video again btw mate👍

[@truckitprayle]

We was all new at some point mate, it uses to take me 10 shunts to get on a bay at some point. So yeah f#ck him. Take your time and get it done safe.

[@davidbatchelor4901]

Remember if you find yourself in an urban rear steer. you will need even less steering input. And if you lose it, start again if you don't have the room to straighten up. Which you probably wont if your in an urban!

[@uktruckerpov]

I felt you could of used a few more camera angles maybe but the information was spot on!

[@MsJackfamily]

New driver passing my Class 1 6 months ago and now working for an agency, so I do not get to drive Class 1 often, and when I do it is the manoeuvring that stresses me. However, I must say that I have found everyone helpful and willing to offer advice, which is all gratefully received. Watching your KZbin channel over the last year has also been very helpful from making the decision to try HGV driving through to information on how to practically carry it out. It is becoming a bit easier but I have a long way to go to become comfortable with the responsibility of driving a HGV. Once again thanks for all your assistance and keep the videos coming.@@truckitprayle

Great video! I recently passed my HGV license. Had my first agency job yesterday,after waiting for 3weeks. I was nervous as shit,more so because of reversing, But all in all everything went well. Thanks for the tips, and remember guys less is more haha

[@TruckerMurdock]

Great video mate. I've got nearly 2 years under my belt now and I agree reversing is hard when you're new. Sometimes it's still tricky for me at times. The oversteering is a biggy, I was guilty of that. Same with feeling pressured and the moment you begin to get rattled it's going to get a thousand times worse. I totally agree with slower is better, forget anyone else (traffic etc), always remember GOAL (get out and look), and never be afraid to ask someone to watch you back. One thing I used to do was go into work half an hour early so I could stop at a quiet industrial estate on the way to my trailer swap and practice a few reverses around corners each night when nobody is around. If you can find a quiet spot just do it guys, it's all about practice :)

[@truckitprayle]

Thanks mate, it's one of those things even after 6 years i have my bad days and good days, but yes i would definitely recommend practicing in your spare time if you have the opportunity. What kind of work do you do?

[@TruckerMurdock]

@@truckitprayle I'm on agency doing trunking, trailer swaps, often deliveries with a reload fairly close by. Mostly curtainsiders. Done flatbeds too, fridge loads, double decks, and a few containers out of Port Of Blyth. Hopefully I'll be starting my own channel in the new year, Trucker Murdock, with the idea to try give an insight for the newer drivers (I'm nearly 2 years into it).

[@truckitprayle]

Go for it mate, it keeps the job interesting 👍

[@vitdolinski6494]

When I started driving class 1 I often tried to get more reversing practice. For example when was coming back to yard I was picking spots between 2 trailers, then another one, then another one with less space in front. Another step was picking spots between 2 lorrys on truck stops. Focus on what was correct and what was wrong. That will help in future. Obviously do not rush. If not sure go outside and look. It's better to get outside 5 times than hit another truck 1 time. Nothing wrong with couple of shunts. As I can see 8/10 drivers take one or more shunts even when there's plenty of space.

[@truckitprayle]

Thats right mate even to this day i will always take another shunt if i feel it's nessasary, what did you find the hatdest part when you passed reversing or something else?

[@vitdolinski6494]

@@truckitprayle Switching between different types of trailer. You figured out how to reverse standard 3-axle trailer then you get 2-axle, double-decker or LST. 30ft urban trailer was always the worst one.

I took up to 15 attempts reversing on to a bay and was more worried about that forgot to open doors...😂..then i was doing a walking floor trailer where there's sensors and you need to be at the right speed dead straight and the trail bar went up a small ramp to keep her level when loading 96 x 200 litres barrels of whiskey..only been driving 3 months again about 10 shunts..once loaded drove it 45 mins to warehouse on the most narrowest twisting road here in Ireland...I now do motorway tankers and as someone else said Don't go for the easy parking spot i always back between two tankers...in the 2.5 yrs i say did it in 1 about 3 times..take as many as you need...take your time ...if in doubt get out even 10 times...as pointed out small steering movements...found looking out window really F%%ked me up at first and of course steering the opposite way to move trailer...the way i was taught is place your hands at the bottom of steering wheel lift your right hand/left hand will go in that direction...I was asked the other day by a 4 day old driver how long it takes i said 6 months but your still learning even if driving 30 years...Best of luck to all.

Another great video. Just to add regarding employers claiming the cost of any damage from the employee. In the UK, this can only be done if there is a contract in place which expressly states how much deductions can be made for damage or to cover the cost of the insurance excess and it must be signed by both parties. Without such a contract, any deduction from your pay for damage would be unlawful but you are right, many employers still do it without agreement. If there was such a contract in place, there is nothing preventing the employee from having their own insurance policy in place to cover any excess claim by the employer. Here in Oz, such a practice is completely unlawful and I was actually in court myself a couple of years ago on a different employment matter and listening to the other cases before mine. In less than 5 minutes, the Judge heard and upheld a claim by an employee for unlawful deductions from his pay for vehicle damage. The Judge turned to the respondent (the employer), and advised him that if they are employed by the business then in good and in bad, this has to be a cost covered by the business and is what you have insurance for including paying extra for a lower excess.

[@truckitprayle]

Thats really interesting i had it happen to me a few years back but i had signed an agreement so there wasn't much i could do about it. I think its crafty as being a sriver you are bound to have a dink now and then being on the road as much as we are.

[@ratreer1523]

Had a Boss at interview 8 yrs ago to sign that I would pay 1st £2500 of damage.Told me he'd used Romanians an they had doubled his insurance.I said so you employed monkeys in the hope you'd make big bucks an it's come back an bitten you and you want me to pay for your greed.He then got personal with insults.But stopped him dead by saying I'm a local boy ( Tilbury) last thing you want to see is me at 05.00 with a bar in my hands when you open them gates.Shut his mouth then

[@williamfence566]

During my lessons ( years ago ! ) the instructor was a great driver but didn't explain and guess what I failed first time on the reverse. I went back for 1/2 a day the following week and it was a different guy. He got me set up then to start reversing " 1/4 turn of the steering wheel .stop .Where are you're back wheels ?" Move back slowly and repeat each time with an an occasional GOAL . in summary . Small movements of the wheel . " is it going where you want it to ?. Passed next test. Never forgot it .

Yeah my instructor was like your second very good at the minor details and explaining how its not a rush and small turns and slow moving is the best way. How are you finding it now a year on?

This is not a very good example of how to reverse mate, 2 shunts was not needed to get into that bay. You had tonnes of space to do it first time.

I did say i was intentionally messing it up to show how to rectify it mate.
