I'll never forget the time I removed one pallet from a semi trailer. After he pulled away I realized he backed into the loading dock with two trailers attached. I was so impressed, and also felt bad he all did that for one pallet.
I only tow a 20' trailer behind my Chevy 3500 (I'm a landscaper), and even THAT is too tight for some areas. Manipulating one trailer in order to steer the second on a narrow road into a narrow driveway is something I don't even wanna think about.

This should have been a 2 min. Video. How many times did he pull forward? How many attempts? Anyone with 5 years experience.with b trains should be able to not hit the curb, not pull forward once.
@@bimbobisbo1623 I'm right. I have more driving experience then most. I remember 15 years ago how long it took to master backing up b trains, fuel tanker. I remember 3 am on a Saturday after working all week trying to back in on an angle, in-between fuel pumps and building with no light with a foot of snow on the grown. All I'm saying what he did was not impressive, almost any CDL driver can do this with the amount of attempts he took as long as they're patient. If he backed up in 1 try I would be impressed. From the looks of it I'm sure it won't take him long.
Just a few weeks into my B train career. Hoping to get the hang of backing these things! I actually learned a lot from all your different attempts. Now to see if I can put some of it into practice. Thank you for sharing!
Kudos my friend kudos!!! I consider it a job well done just to back my 48 foot gas trailer out of some of the gas stations I deliver to. That’s a totally different level of trucking. Much respect!!! And for all of you super truckers out there, that wants to talk about how many times he pulled up. You try it, I bet your mindset will change quickly.
Some guys would still be there trying to get backed in. 🤣😂Probably receiving mail by now. This driver got it in there nice and straight with just a few tries. Awesome job!
Hey man that's hard enough. I don't know how you guys get into and out of those little gas stations and stores on a busy street without wrecking something. I always try to give them as much grace as I can if they need it. Their job is hard enough on a good day.
I tried a b-train at the truck school one day. I couldn't even back it up straight 10 feet without it going all over the place. That's true talent right there, you make it look so casual and easy.
Me: has trouble backing a 14 ft. trailer behind my pick up. I have so much respect for you drivers backing big rigs. You dual rig drivers that can back like this are the greatest! WOW! Nothing but respect young man.
My driving instructor said he would start every student out on a lawn tractor pulling a small trailer, if he could... because they get so squirrelly when you try to back up.
Dude!! I know many Truckers who have been in the business for 30 plus years and I DONT KNOW ANYONE that can do that!! That’s super impressive!! I didn’t even think that was possible!! Wow!! I have seen it all now. I have another friend of mine who pulled b train but they would pull into a lot, unhook the trailer and another rig picked it up!! Then he backed in the main trailer.

As someone who has spent many years driving 5-axle trains, I am very impressed, well done. That spread axle on the pup must really throw off your ability to cut it over easily. I love the challenge of backing them, but customers who don't have yards big enough to take a set of trains to pull through don't have any reason to receive a B-train load of product.
Impressive. Once she gets a little funky you are best to stop and straighten it out again. The uphill to the lot and your rear tandems split does not help either. Well done. Patience and persistence come in real handy with a set of trains.
Patience and persistence. You are absolutely right. When applying those two things, I've gotten my trailer into places I never thought possible. Well said
Your right about straighten out. I drive a LCV road train. Been driving regular truck & a 45’ back in day then 48’ and now two 53’ with the converter dolly double axle with pental hook. I tell you been driving the LCV road train only about 5 years . That is a real pain in the butt backing them up with 3 points of swing behind your cab. I really like what I do now pulling the LCV. I find it very relaxing on the highways with DOT law of 90 max. Everyone can just pass.. We’re paid by hour, not mileage.. There is plenty of work too and we’re not taking someone job by pulling 2 the extra trailer.. Company’s are crying for drivers to pull loads.. That fellow backing up that B train, Is very professional . I can only imagine backing up that unit with the wider sleeper and chrome sun visor is not easy.. it takes time and patience . BTW I’m 72 almost 73 and been driving USA & Canada 45 years but everyday is a new learning experience .
@@stevenray787 had to back a set about 300' on I70 due to an accident near KCMO. A lady officer told me they would hold traffic behind me before the exit. I told her it would take a few minutes. So as i am backing to the exit they start to go their own way and she yells on the pa "just back straight up" She had no clue.
That was B E A Utiful to watch. Drive 45' ers in the UK, the thought of doing it with a double trailer and a cab with a big nose like you guys have boggles my mind.
Well done mate, I generally have a rule that I give myself 3 attempts then I'll split them. But persistence gets you there in the end, you drove it like a pro.
@@ryannelson2211 little effort to split, less embarrassing if your there all day trying to reverse the trailers up and there is many other trucks waiting to get in, and some of the older trailers are bent and don't align or you can't see and your playing a guessing game: Roll down the legs on the 'B' trailer, unhook the air & power, pull the pin, move forward, roll the 'A' trailer back and back it on to the dock. About 10 minutes and your done. Then unhook 'A' trailer (Legs, Air, Power and Pin) and go get the 'B' trailer (Legs, Air, Power and Pin) and back it on to the dock. And then you need to put it all back together. Prime mover, 'A' trailer then 'B' trailer. (B-Double in Australia).
@@bh7538 You're right about equipment that is beat up, out of alignment, worn out turn tables, etc. I always try to use the front trailer to control the dolly of the back trailer. Works for me. Take care.
I drive a wrecker had tow a one ton with a 40 foot goose neck trailer. I had to bring it to where it could be off loaded. Had to back it in from the week side. First time backing something like that. It took me awhile to figure it out. Was getting stressed but finally got it in the building after numerous tries. You just have to go with it and take ur time. Props to the guys who do this every day.
I'm new to trains. I'm pulling michigan heavy spech gravel trains. Best piece of advice I've gotten to date was, "When backing, be a placer, not a chaser." This was some impressive shit, driver!
I hope many of the people in the cars that had to wait or passed by appreciated just how much skill this takes. I am not a trucker yet I do play American truck Sim and Euro Truck Sim 2 with a wheel setup and know how difficult it can be to back up stuff like this in the game is and that's still just a game and not the real thing. I can say I have much more appreciation of truckers and the skills they have ever since I started to play these games about 8 years ago.
That was amazing! UA-cam recommended this video and I thought backing doubles would be dang near impossible! Love the sound of that engine on my iPhone
It took me about 1-2 weeks of backing into a busy truck stop every day after work to get the hang of backing up a super-B. For those that want to know how it works, the second trailer (Pup) goes the same direction your steering wheel is going and then your first trailer (lead) you back up like you do by turning it the opposite direction. So pretty much once you get the angle of your second trailer you need to begin correcting your lead trailer by turning the steering wheel the opposite direction until the angle sticks. Takes awhile to get used to but I prefer driving super-B’s in the city over just 53 footers since they track nicer. Some days I can back into something like this first try, other days I’m looking back through my mirror wondering what the fuck is going on back there
Back in the 60's, before A Trains and B Trains came on the scene I spent a few years pulling tandem trailers and could back a single trailer anywhere. I considered myself a truck driver. To this day, when I watch someone backing a train, I need two hands to keep my jaw off my chest. I can't even back one up the length of it self.
Excellent job sir! I am just starting with the doubles in a week or two here in Canada. I have over 5 years with a 53' single. I appreciate seeing your struggles and success and most importantly your willingness to start all over again! Props!
That looked a very difficult manoeuvre with two trailers, You made it look so easy and very professional, Fantastic camera angles and great video. Any chance of some Led Zeppelin tunes on the radio next time :O) Stay safe on the roads.
53FT boxes are difficult enough but B Trains are a whole new level on difficulty. Props to you on maneuvering em like a pro. Side note, the drivers who B trail 2 53ft trailers, to this day I am scratching my head "How on earth can you get anywhere with that!?"
Just started watching this type of stuff today and I know nothing about this type of shit but what I do know is you make it look easy and thats a sign that you're a master of your craft. Well done I think.
Kudos! Not many these days show difficulties they go through to reach perfection. Well done for showing the good, the bad and the ugly. It's sure as hell something I couldn't do.
I watched a truckie back his B-train out our main door at work barely wider than his truck. It was impressive. He walked back in all smug coz he knew he was that f****n good and nailed it
When I used to drive for Western Auto I was pulling doubles and I watched a old Consolidated Freightways driver pull into the lot and back his doubles in a straight line for about 100 yards. After he backed the last double into the dock I asked him what his secret was, he laughed and “magic” then I looked under his second pup and seen that he had a homemade set up on the trailer that locked the trailer from turning. It was like he was backing a 68 foot trailer. It was really impressive.
Then the owner comes out and says he wants it in the other gate.
🤣🤣
U get to the 2nd gate and he says oops my bad, back to the first
lmfao im dead
more truth than humor in that statement.

Amazing skill! I struggle to even walk backwards!😆
Heck, i dont think i can even do this in American truck sim ar first person lmao
I can’t even back up my pickup truck and one trailer that well let alone two trailers. Well done!
It just takes spacial awareness and practice. It's like manoeuvring a pallet jack, if you imagine the truck to be the handlebar.
That was B E A Utiful to watch. Drive 45' ers in the UK, the thought of doing it with a double trailer and a cab with a big nose like you guys have boggles my mind.
I am no truck driver and have a hard time reversing with a car without a trailer. I am impressed.(Everyone who disliked this video are couch experts)
Well done mate, I generally have a rule that I give myself 3 attempts then I'll split them. But persistence gets you there in the end, you drove it like a pro.
I was just wondering how difficult it was to split them
@@ryannelson2211 little effort to split, less embarrassing if your there all day trying to reverse the trailers up and there is many other trucks waiting to get in, and some of the older trailers are bent and don't align or you can't see and your playing a guessing game: Roll down the legs on the 'B' trailer, unhook the air & power, pull the pin, move forward, roll the 'A' trailer back and back it on to the dock. About 10 minutes and your done. Then unhook 'A' trailer (Legs, Air, Power and Pin) and go get the 'B' trailer (Legs, Air, Power and Pin) and back it on to the dock. And then you need to put it all back together. Prime mover, 'A' trailer then 'B' trailer. (B-Double in Australia).
@@bh7538 You're right about equipment that is beat up, out of alignment, worn out turn tables, etc. I always try to use the front trailer to control the dolly of the back trailer. Works for me. Take care.
Brings back lots of memories - bad memories. Glad I'm retired.
From one pro to another. Nicely done! Like the guy below said I don't think people realize just how hard that was or how skillfully done that was.
I drive a wrecker had tow a one ton with a 40 foot goose neck trailer. I had to bring it to where it could be off loaded. Had to back it in from the week side. First time backing something like that. It took me awhile to figure it out. Was getting stressed but finally got it in the building after numerous tries. You just have to go with it and take ur time. Props to the guys who do this every day.
I'm new to trains. I'm pulling michigan heavy spech gravel trains. Best piece of advice I've gotten to date was, "When backing, be a placer, not a chaser."
This was some impressive shit, driver!
I’ll be the first to admit I can’t back a set. Good job. I couldn’t have done it. I’ll stick to my long wagons
Sometimes it goes on the first try, and sometimes it's going to fight the whole way back. Nice work.
Wow that my friend it's freaking impressive.
I've always thought backing up doubles was a pain and this video proved my point but you make it look easy.
I hope many of the people in the cars that had to wait or passed by appreciated just how much skill this takes. I am not a trucker yet I do play American truck Sim and Euro Truck Sim 2 with a wheel setup and know how difficult it can be to back up stuff like this in the game is and that's still just a game and not the real thing. I can say I have much more appreciation of truckers and the skills they have ever since I started to play these games about 8 years ago.
That was amazing! UA-cam recommended this video and I thought backing doubles would be dang near impossible! Love the sound of that engine on my iPhone
Cheers to you that was stressful just watching I would of quit that day lol
It took me about 1-2 weeks of backing into a busy truck stop every day after work to get the hang of backing up a super-B.
For those that want to know how it works, the second trailer (Pup) goes the same direction your steering wheel is going and then your first trailer (lead) you back up like you do by turning it the opposite direction.
So pretty much once you get the angle of your second trailer you need to begin correcting your lead trailer by turning the steering wheel the opposite direction until the angle sticks.
Takes awhile to get used to but I prefer driving super-B’s in the city over just 53 footers since they track nicer.
Some days I can back into something like this first try, other days I’m looking back through my mirror wondering what the fuck is going on back there
I've been driving semi for 18 years now. That is very impressive. Real pro!
Back in the 60's, before A Trains and B Trains came on the scene I spent a few years pulling tandem trailers and could back a single trailer anywhere. I considered myself a truck driver. To this day, when I watch someone backing a train, I need two hands to keep my jaw off my chest. I can't even back one up the length of it self.
Stressful! Bro you did that shit like a BOSS!
One (1) Word, “Impressive”. 👍👍👍
I realize that is a pain in the ass, I drive an 8 axle Transfer dump, I get myself in too funny situation sometimes, You're doing a good job!
This guy is a true professional, He has patience ,And he Does not get upset , Also he is courteous !
Excellent job sir! I am just starting with the doubles in a week or two here in Canada. I have over 5 years with a 53' single. I appreciate seeing your struggles and success and most importantly your willingness to start all over again! Props!
Those beautiful AH AH! Moments...love your tenacity in those challenging ones!
Backing double trailers is HARD! This is impressive. Nice job :)
I have trouble backing the utility wagon with my ATV. This man is awesome!
The brain power it takes to do this is amazing!
Respect to you sir....new sub!
That looked a very difficult manoeuvre with two trailers, You made it look so easy and very professional, Fantastic camera angles and great video. Any chance of some Led Zeppelin tunes on the radio next time :O) Stay safe on the roads.
It's easy manoeuvre, I do it every day on Euro Truck Simulator.
Your rig sounds bad ass. Thought you'd like to know.
53FT boxes are difficult enough but B Trains are a whole new level on difficulty. Props to you on maneuvering em like a pro.
Side note, the drivers who B trail 2 53ft trailers, to this day I am scratching my head "How on earth can you get anywhere with that!?"
I've had a Class A CDL for many years been driving for many years never have I seen anybody do something so phenomenal
Wow F that
Dude knows how to drive thats for sure. Mad props.
❤️while other truckers are tearing other truckers down ON UA-cam, for the world to see,,🙄 this man is doing it ✌️❤️ MUCH RESPECT driver ✌️
I drive a double road train in Australia and regularly have to back it. I still found this impressive. You have got some skills mate.
I’d have drained the air tanks ten times. Skill! 👏👏👏
Yes sir! You are a badass. And let’s not forget folks...he did this in a long nose Pete. Quite impressive sir! Quite impressive.😎🙌🏻👏🏻
Reminds me of transfer trailers. Hard to back up but the guys that do it well are amazing to watch.
Just started watching this type of stuff today and I know nothing about this type of shit but what I do know is you make it look easy and thats a sign that you're a master of your craft. Well done I think.
My favorite Canadian metalhead looking trucker
Practice makes perfect!!! Proud of You!!!👍 I'm a truck driver, with a dolly is much difficult. 🚛 Keep up the good work!!!!
Kudos! Not many these days show difficulties they go through to reach perfection. Well done for showing the good, the bad and the ugly. It's sure as hell something I couldn't do.
Job well done. You will never catch me backing a double, but man was it impressive to watch.
Only ever driven a semi. You are the man!
respect to all the truckers out their, they delivery everything we need to survive
Total respect 👍👍👍👍 I'm always blown away at how "easy" drivers make it look backing into crazy places like this ..
I watched a truckie back his B-train out our main door at work barely wider than his truck. It was impressive. He walked back in all smug coz he knew he was that f****n good and nailed it
Talent plus patients equals success!
I give u props bruh i don’t know anyone that can back up that good wit two trailers on
Wow. You certainly made that look easy!!! I can't even imagine!! 🙂👍
When I used to drive for Western Auto I was pulling doubles and I watched a old Consolidated Freightways driver pull into the lot and back his doubles in a straight line for about 100 yards. After he backed the last double into the dock I asked him what his secret was, he laughed and “magic” then I looked under his second pup and seen that he had a homemade set up on the trailer that locked the trailer from turning. It was like he was backing a 68 foot trailer. It was really impressive.
