That man has some serious driving skills.much respect!
I've learned the straight back and the off set. I start on the alley dock tomorrow.
Respectfully, it would be nice to show the direction of the steer tires as well so we can see where and when to start getting under our trailer...
simple while backing straight, hand on top of the steering wheel if you see your rear trailer come to the left turn your steering wheel left. Always keep ahead of it and the offset an alley dock are the exact opposite. So if you want your trailer to come to the left into the alley you start to jack it with your steering wheel going clockwise to the right and then as soon as the trailer starts responding follow which means go the opposite way. You can jacket either way you can follow it either way
disrespectfully*

I'm in upState NY now..however I grew up ( in the 70's ) in Battle Creek, MI. Our neighbors and my parents great friends where.... the Behnke Family...I grew up with Marty and Andy and Big Mac was their father....Big Mac and miss Betty are gone now but the Behnke Family Trucking company is still very strong to this day out there in MI....I think of them often and very much appreciate the truckers who deliver our goods to us every day !! May God Bless you all ..and have a wonderful Holiday season in 2020 !!!

Now I wanna became a truck driver when I grow up
I was trained by UPS Drove 39 years . No accidents.
I'm in package now UPS just sent me to school to go into feeders hopefully all goes well
@@bradboisvert4892 you can't leave people hanging. Did it go well?
@@WifeofaJer went very well been in feeders since june love it 👍
@@bradboisvert4892 awesome to hear
Can one get hired by UPS with no experience?
Dude driving fast as hell lol
hes in a hurry to fail
P Bama 😂
Mark Cobb 😂💀
He's empty and prolly at 13:58
Probably an instructor demonstrating for the video
Takes me 10 times to back my travel trailer into a campsite with my wife on a handheld radio, completely blocked from my view, telling me to "go more this way".
Perhaps you could use a wireless rearview camera that might help. If you have a GoPro use that and connect it to your phone for rearview.
Thank you for the video! One thing that would be extremely helpful for new students is to show the full body of the tractor when doing the alley back/ 90 deg.

Parallel parking is the most useless exercise of the 3. They should replace it with alley docking. Most of the student will never parallel park, but they have to do alley docking on their first load.
😂i’ve only seen 1 truck driver parallel park in a residential street with cars parked on both sides. he pulled forward parallel to the house and parked the truck in the middle of the street.
I think I parallel parked one time in 37 years OTR, and that was in a rest area.
I've been a trucker for years, and literally never parallel parked. I do alley dock all the time though.
Today i was stop by a Cop,he asked me what is your name i said,my name is not cracked,damaged and loose,my father name is properly mounted and secure.and my girl friend is not leaking ..
OMG too funny! That is the pretrip main words!
Marwan Alsaba you’re a real funny guy huh. You’re a disgrace to all the rig drivers for generations who paved the road for current rig haulers today you pervert
😂😂😂
Marwan Alsaba hahaha. True 😂😂
dang u got to say damaged. we had to explain with each part how it was not damaged :( we couldnt just say not damaged
Pretty impressive obviously one of the trainers and not a student definitely wouldn't be going that fast
When you've only got two hours before your appt. time but have to get your license first.
Peace and blessings to all the truck drivers Americans depend on you for our goods what you do is appreciated
when I taught at the school I worked at the three states that they dealt with mainly did and I believe they still do ,the following tests. Circle check,drop and hook,straight backing,paralelle parking ,and the ally dock. After which the inspector takes you on the road .The tests aren't hard but those cones get mighty brittle when it gets cold .
But that was then
instablaster
me, being a german trucker for almost 7 years on construction sites: if thats all it takes to have your license, then itll be a piece of cake
🤣 come on down we only drive 4000 kilometers a week .
Gaylord, Michigan 😂😂😂
dead asf 😂😂
dam this guy is a pro
Peruse your state's CDL Manual for the maneuvers you'll need to learn before the test!
Section 12 of the Michigan CDL Manual for us Michiganders
Wow!! That looks tough!!!
I took my test in 2006 and we didn't have 'alley docking' but we did have 'angled dock' instead of switching lanes.
This is the part of getting my CDL that scares me. The backing.
Alan M Carlino Jr Same here man. I’m just now starting to study the handbook and all, and by far I think this is the scariest part of all. Especially since the new job requires to obtain a class A or B CDL with in 6 months. If not it’s the 🥾 😬
Omar Ramirez Started off in the fuel and wash bay we had to have it in 90 days. I got mine in less than a month.
If you are scared backing a 48' trailer, be very scared backing up a 53'... All these driving schools who make the drivers drive with a 48' need to be banned. And especially those idiots who back in on a 53' with their tandems all the way back...! Stupid mutherfuckers. No wonder they damage the rigs around them when backing in or pulling out.
You will pass 100%. Don’t sweat it. Make sure you set your mirror right. When your tractor trailer is straight look @ the steering wheel. Remember the way your steering wheel is turned.Then look @ your right and left mirrors remember what you see. You should see the same on each. side. Then you will know the tractor trailer is straight. If. you do the alley dock . Remember the way you turned the steering wheel to get between the cones. Then remember the way the steering wheel is turned to go straight back. ✌️✌️👍👍🙂🙂🙂🙂
@@yoslipshangin5348 Thanks for the info. I'm starting my CDL A training next week. But I'm starting to think I should've stuck with Class B.
This is obviously a great driver!
Whoever driving is a beast
In Kentucky we have to do straight line, one of the off sets and parallel park. No 90 offset which should be taught and included
Thanks Road Warrior for the tips👍
Man, that's a nice setup for a training school! I should have gone there! lol
This was actually really helpful thank you
Would've been nice to see the tractor on the alley dock.
Nice demonstration!
In real life, trailers are parked so closed together that you can only walk sideways between them, in total dark.
in real life i assume you can pull up, get out and look a 100 times if need be.
Why aren't the 4 way flashers on while backing.
Fred Bly probably because it’s not required.
It's not required
It is required out here were I'm from
Requiere or not any good driver will put the four way lights on anytime FOR SAFETY
@@javierelzde2638 this was for demonstration purposes, man stfu😂
No backing up on the blindside..? Oh well, I did that a month into my new job. Nice learning experience. Got out of my truck at least 8 times...
8 that's it? Pfft man my first blindside I damn near lived out the truck
How about doing all that at NIGHT? When your appointment is at 3:00am
Unlimited pull-ups and get out and looks
@@chazmichael7967 lol
Lol
Not a strip joint
How wide and long are these cones spaced apart? 12x12 I presume?
Are you allowed to use circleing drones during your cdl test?
In my state, and I believe it's like this in every state, you always do a straight line back, an offset right or left, and then the 3rd maneuver is either a parallel park to either side, or an alley dock.
4:13 What is that flat orange marker on the ground where he starts turning, just before the alley cones?
Great driver and great info!!!
I already have my CDL. Am I still to take that driving test if I wanna join the team ?
Mad skills🎉🎉🎉 would have loved to see position of the tractor on the alley dock…I’m a student is why I say that thanks for helping with other maneuvers
What what about parallel parking ?
You could've made this video a lot better by showing the full truck in motion, you showed how the back of the truck move in line but you didn't show us how he was handling his front steering wheel.
That I don't know why teach people without showing how to handling steeling
@Koraun don't lie man if you don't move steering the trailer goes way
If your relying on a video to learn to back just give up now.
This was not a video on ''how to'' it was a video on what you can expect on your road test....
Yeah they didnt 😏
Thank you very much for this.
I rarely see any of the other kind of semi trucks "cabovers" out on the roads here in the USA nowadays. The cabovers were easier to turn, park, & maneuver in than those conventional cabs there.
Have you ever had to ride in one everyday for years? Sitting over them tires all the time destroys your back, air-ride or not.
@@donaldludwig7289 a few semi drivers who drove them back in the day told me they rode like you had a jackhammer up your ass. Me I've never driven a semi before but I've always thought cabovers looked cool.
Question do you need to punch it through next skill test?
Yup your all ready to go 80 MPH down 5% grades in Utah now that you backed up in a parking lot and talked about how I properly mounted and secured your girl.
It's awesome out there guys drive safe drink some red bull
Been down that hill a couple times. Take a little trip down 986 in Pennsylvania. Hairpin corners and 23% grades.
very nice. I think I am falling in love with trucks again. my mother died in my arms and has been very rough to get the will to drive again.
Sorry to hear that man
The best way to honor the dead is it live your best life at your most optimum. Take time to grieve and celebrate the fallen.
It's beautiful that she had you there!! 😍
In which State do they make you do all that backing for the road test???
The more I sit here watching what i'll need to be able to do before even getting in the drivers seat, makes me wonder If I'll be a quick study or not. It's in my blood, I hold on to the hopes It'l just click.
Did it click for you🙏🙏 I'm in school now, manifesting it will click🙏🙌
@@anointedsoul3427 It did, anybody can do it. Easy job, that's why it's so hard to get one. You have to stay at a company your unhappy with for YEARS to get anywhere in this industry. It's a mess! Going back to some school to train on a manual soon. goodluck
Thank you and you got this as well, when you go back
Texas we have to parallel park
Yeah, that's the point
On your 90° back up, you did not show the tractor at all while backing up, turning the wheels of tractor is the main maneuver for 90° back up
Yeah man,its like wuuut the f, which way do we turn the wheels...
Same thing I said fuck this no likes
Yeah, that's only reason I'm here is to see how the truck is moving.
@@wvusmc I'm 17 and never ever driven a truck before. So go ahead and ignore this because maybe you think I wouldn't know. But, perhaps, here is the easy way. At 1:38 of the video. When going from the straight maneuver to the backing up to the right hand side maneuver. Step 1 as you see in video: Drive tractor trailer in straight line and when the trailer passes the last bit of cones, steer right, and then when trailer is lined up with truck, steer left. Step 2 then would be reverse the wheel right which the trailer would be going right, then quickly steer left after as the trailer and rig will now oppose in opposite directions causing an unhitch. Step 3, select drive and steer in straight line again until trailer is all lined with the tractor. Now get out and examine how much space and clearance is left between cones and trailer. Step 4, reverse in straight line and steer very slowly to the left and then when trailer is then maneuvering between the cones, steer right to then straighten the truck with the trailer. Then continue backing straightly. Overview: In a less complicated manner: Always drive away to create the space by driving away from the parking space. Then Reverse by steering truck in the direction you want to go, the slower the better as you can then steer the other direction to straighten the trailer without unhitching due to unsafely backing quickly. Then drive up again in straight line, this time after steering opposing direction, and straighten the maneuver of the turn, after, the angle should be all set to back in straight line! I hope this gives a vivid image and helps!
That's 1 pull up on straight line, 2 on offsets, parallels and alley dock.
That for free. You can pull up more than that but you get points
In Nevada, I’ve been told they have you do a backward serpentine as part of the test (I don’t claim this to be true) seriously! How many times does a driver need this particular skill!
It's mandatory depending on where you go. I.e for some of Amazon’s yard you have to do a serpentine park.
OTR truck stops are like 10x harder than passing the DMV test lol
Yeah, if you mess up here, it is only a cone or two that gets squashed. in the truck stop it is a fender or hood. And half of the drivers there don't park straight either.
I was going to setup some mini cones but I left OTR before I could set them up lol. If you can see the mini cones and your tandem axles being close to them you know there is no way you will hit the other trucks backing it in properly around them. I would set them up every time to be safe but those drivers are "God" destined to be OTR. Some had a little bit of an issue but very rare. They still pocketed it in.
Definitely... The parking spots be tight as hell
everything else is moving around you, so yah. And they don't give a fuck what you are doing until you hit them
Thank you. Wish me luck.
Do I have to know hoy to drive a shift trans? Or can be just an automatic one?
In Massachusetts you have to do a blind side backing. That looks easy
Yeah 👍
I didn't have to do the off set back-up for my class B license. I can't wait until I start my Class A classes
Very good!
Thank you
So when you turn left your trailer goes right?
Ready to sign up
During these backup tests…. Is it ok to leave the engine running? I don’t have to remove the key? Thank you
Did he go from 3rd to 5th truck to fast for 2nd and 3rd
OMG ! It is easier than Maryland which a blind man could do..
Ok, this is good BUT...big BUT...you did not show the front tires/steering in the last part which would help making steering decisions, but thank you, the first part is good and the explanation of the points.
Anybody know what you have to do for Florida I start school soon
ok very good thanks you happy new year
Funny, I've already got my full CDL but I'm still watching this.
Very good video very helpful... Thanks a lot for the time and the effort....
Never had cones what so ever in my test been driving 21 years
Do you have to do the right or left side parallel parking for the test?
It's random from what I hear, and I think 90° are out of the test, it's straight line, off set and parallel now.
He's definitely demonstrating. He's an instructor.
all of them or one ?
Please write us names of colleges or schools in Canada that teach how to drive a truck for non_canadoans? Thank you
It would help at 4:28 to be able to see the direction that the steering tires are pointed.
They never show what the steers are doing . Just the back of the trailer and that's far away. What is the point of showing it?
Camera all 4 sides in the truck. They think everyone is dumb.
It's to show you what it is you're expected to do, and not how you do it.
If I am truck driver for 5 years in Europe and if I want to relocate to US,i will need too pass cdl and this parking drive test too or how????
Yah... Don't show the TRUCK and what he's doing on the alley docking! You wouldn't want guys to see what he's doing!
I'm not even going to be a truck driver but am ready to step up now if you need me!
do you have to parallel park?
it'd be reeeaaalll helpful to have another camera inside the cab to see what the driver is doing
What state are you located
This guy is a TRUCKER!!💯
How about showing us what the tractor is doing on the ally docking maneuver instead of mostly staring at the back of the trailer...
Great video I learned alot by watching your videos keep them coming in
What about those tight reversing places where trucks in front of you and on both side oy your truck common dude
All kinds of working room on test course for alley docking, 90* backing at night in a crowded truck stop is a whole different animal, slide tandem’s all the way back to help avoid blindside trailer swing hit.
Good advice and haven't seen much of this. I'm a yard jockey, yard dog, shag driver...and what I see pulling in the yard. I would say Slide your tandems before you park in one of our docks unless you are the other 25% that knows how to park a trailer . Much safer no back swing. I move 75-100 trailers a day and faster then this guy just sayin no disrespect. No damages to any trailers in 5.5 yrs 2 yrs on the road I help drivers almost daily parking so your choice to take the advice...keep on trucking.
I thought our drive test was hard here in Ontario. We only have to do one maneuver and that is a 90° backup. I definitely would not want to be testing in your area.
Also, our fail rates here on your first test are roughly 70%. I can't imagine what your first drive test fail rates are.
In Ont you MUST get out and look and sound horn BEFORE you start backing.
Are trucking careers better in Canada than Toronto?
Thanks
I last drove in 2010. I have 16 years otr experience and 2 years local. Do you think I could STILL do all this allready after all the time I been off the road? (like riding a bicyle ? I am most concerned about the Pretrip Inspection ! I had to Downgrade my Illinois license to Class D because I could not get a truck in time. My CDL A expired in Jan of this year 023. I turned 75 then.... what do you all think? attend a school or what? Sure wold lke to get that CDL A again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Need the money too.....!
Evan the stop light not working
Advice to the new drivers DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME on this job isn’t worth it no more. Being away from your family for 1 month to get paid $800 a week isn’t fair. You will start making money after the year experience and even will not be enough.
thats why you drive local… you make more money local then otr lol
@@musclecarsdaily3020 driving local is a meme. then you get no time at all because you're always home and dispatcher is calling your house number. sorry mate. but spanish bull is right.
@@Runescape. my dispatcher doesnt call my phone when im home.. i bring home 1400-1600 a week and im home everyday..
@@musclecarsdaily3020 you know if the cdl written test hard?
@@zairemitchell6246 its easy if u study for it
Please write to us the name of a truck driving school in Canada, provided that it is accredited by the government? Is it possible to obtain a work contract after obtaining a truck driving license? Does the truck driving school accept students from Africa? What types of visa is required in this case?
Three of us tested this week and all three of us had different maneuvers. We all had straight-back and offset parking, but I had alleydock as my final maneuver and another guy had sightside parallel and the other dude had blindside parallel. Does every state do it differently?
See my comment above by seeing the newest comments.
How many times did it take to get the video - with an automatic transmission? Try real world with a long nose Pete or W9.
why would a trucking school use an automatic transmission?
@@BrokeTheGamer because they're starting to use them, they save gas supposedly.
@@BrokeTheGamer 2 year old comment. Time flies it seems in the industry. I'm a CDL school that's all automatic. I wanted to learn manual--but since my company is paying for it and we're driving automatics I'll have to stick with it for now.
Looks like the tail swing went over one of the cones. On the second maneuver.
That salsa 4runner though.
