I applaud the fact that you actually decided to help the man instead of being judgmental. We need more drivers like you on the road. It's supposed to be a brotherhood. We need to help each other out. Especially the new folks. I know when I started, I had all sorts of issues of backing. Even now, I get into some spots up in Philly that really require some thinking.
I was struggling in the first 2 months and it was stressful . But time has help me and I’m doing way better with more confidence . Thanks to guys like you . Thanks and god bless you
Nicole Biscoe I know when I'm finally out there in a month I hope someone is willing to help me because i will respect and appreciate thier experience and advice
I feel sorry for these new drivers out here. I was there once and remember how scared I was the first several times I tried backing in a tight spot. But it seems like back then drivers helped each other and was glad to help like this driver videoing. He's a good guy trying to help.
The farther back you go the more comradery there was among drivers. Now just like in any other environment people are only concerned with themselves. I have to be honest though, I appreciated people offering to spot me but I hated when they tried to tell me what to do. It's very confusing and chaotic when there's two captains of a ship both trying to do something different.
@@myronbedner5163 no no I mean get in pull up enough to open then go back I've only had a handful of times I couldn't pull up enough...coca cola usually and a liquor place in NJ
Yeah, no feel for truck or trailer. I started city straight from school. First day solo I got situation like this person but a little more flexibility to straigten out.I can say it took me a month to get a somewhat adjusted to the truck, 4 months to feel confident in any situation and perception of distance when backing.
You mean to tell me there are actually still people in this world that will help instead of just watching. Damn its a miracle haha good vid man. Hell im givin a thumbs up just cause ya helped.
Man i try every time even when some rookies get mas for my help. But there is some guys who appreciate the help. Specially when its a blind side parking in NY NJ or Chicago.
Three open doors, it should be a breeze for you, but have Patience you will get it soon and you will laugh at yourself in about a year from now when you handle situations like this like a boss. Happy Trucking. .
I agree. I live it when there are open bays next to me. Less stress if I am off a bit. I can always straighten up alot easier than getting into the slot.
Hey JBG! its good that you're helping the rookies (idk if this person is one) instead of sitting in the truck snickering at them when they mess up, Good on ya!
Watching this vid reminds me of the positive experience and guidance I got from other drivers I've never met before. Y'all are my heroes for those early days! 😊
Not much makes me comment on such an old video, but i just hd to say thank you for being such a good dude. You saved that guy from having a very bad day. If more drivers were like you, it would be the best job in the world.
Me being a beginner on this trade, appreciate you taking the time to help an unknown person who seems to be clueless in how to get that trailer parked, it gives hope that there is good people out there. Thank you!
I must be a natural, been driving 8 years with no accidents, and I've never had this problem from day one as a paid driver. So glad this guy helped him, because even tho I never had trouble back, I remember being scared crapless on my first couple of loads by myself, so many variables and you by yourself. After about 3 or 4 loads, it's was like second nature. Good video guy, so glad to see other drivers helping, like you said, gotta start somewhere, in about a year, "as long as he doesn't have an accident" he'll be able to back it in blind folded! Good video! 👍
Man that saying that the first year of solo driving will make or break a truck driver is true On my first year i was exactly like this but i thank all the other drivers for giving me tips on how to alley dock and do this and that especially on tight spaces like this Now when ever i can i help out as well when i see a trucker having a hard time backing in You sir thats recording did a good job handling this we need more drivers like this out on the road
kenny clower this is not tight , but when you lack common sense and aptitude for the trade you get a guy who can't back and hits everything buy the dock .
Nope and they will usually put the worst barriers they can think of right in the way too, like smaller vehicles and supply stock stacked right in front of the dock, barriers like that gas meter that sticks way out in the way. Just terrible for the drivers
Had one ameracold who had a back that when you're on the dock the truck blocks the entire street and a dirt lot in front that they tell you to pull into in oder to make the dock but then if it's rained you get stuck in the mud. Some of these places are ridiculous
It's all about the set up. Don't try and force a bad situation. Reset and try again. Good on you for helping. I always get out to help if I see the driver struggling.
My first year OTR there was always at least one guy willing to help me without me even asking for help after watching me struggle for a few minutes. A couple times I waited a half hour for the guy in the door next to mine to leave so it was easier. Thankfully they didn't mark me late.
Share I or we as rookie drivers we appreciate you sir for your patience and time. I’m also a month long with C.R England. I had many help me when I have that good help I listen right away and get it in safe and fast. Thanks again sir🙏🏼
That’s really good of you help your fellow driver out..but man you have some guts walking in between the back of his trailer and yours while he is trying to back up especially with a rookie driver!
ppl act like it's easy to do until you tell them to do it then they panic. truck driver job isn't easy and even those vets have a challenge in these circumstances. at least he didn't tear nothing up
@@lisatimmons6051 he had room. Didn't know how to utilize it. He most likely doesn't know his truck.. If you don't know what your truck can do, then you'll never ever get backing down..
I currently work for CRE, and they don't train us to alleydock only parrallel, straight back and offset. You learn it with your trainer but you will not have enough opportunities to master it in just a few weeks. Luckily my trainer gave me good tips, I use my reference points to get me in the whole. I Appreciate the video
I am so thankful for truckers like you. We all have those moments or days were we are stressed and we dont set up right. He should have gotten out to look but you helped him and hopefully he will learn from this and get better. I now get it in tighter spots better than big open spaces. Im still a rookie and i hold people up getting out and looking a bunch but i dont hit things. Bless you.
Thanks , I started with that company , other drivers got out and helped me cause I struggled for the 1 St year when there wasn't alot of head room , when I'm dead tired I still like to get out and look several times , hope CR had a thank you attitude
Camera man! Couldn't be more right about that. I like the fact he acknowledges that everyone should start somewhere. No matter how many mistakes, driver did. I guarantee he did his best. Camera man!!!! There should be more fellas like you out here.
Just want to say that I appreciated every driver like these two who gave me assistance when I started then took time to explain where I screwed up my entry. It actually made sense explained after going out on my own. Thanks to guys like you I never had to explain to someone why I hit their rig.
thanks for helping him! God bless you, when my children started this way and it was also hard for them and they said that there are guys who are not without different and try to help just like you all beginners go through this
least its not swift trying to back in next to you and thanks for helping him i know for sure when i get out there and i get turned loose solo i will be nervous and such just like this guy and if i get faced with docks like this with noone to help me i sure would appreciate a nice person such as yourself that is kind enough to help me the company i plan on goin to johnny is halvor lines
right use goal for one thing get out and look which he didnt and i guess he didnt realize s kind hearted person like you is willing and trying to help and that look he gave ya i guess he just felt like he didnt need any help im a professional when cleary it showed he needed some help and i mustof missed how he bent his bumper i did see another driver backed it in there for him though
i love seeing California overland trucks. my dad is leased on to them. he hauls turkey to Cali every week and Vegetables back. he is an owner operator, owns his truck and trailer. my mom and him are team drivers so truck never stops moving. im in process of getting my cdl. my dad started driving when he was very young. got into a truck when he was 21 and he just turned 50. i love trucking so much. i have so many memories going out west. i remember probably 18 years ago watching a tornado split into sisters. 2pm and then you thought it was 11pm. sudden darkness. my dad drove for small company called ITA. he drove a kenworth w900. also remember stopping at this huge rock where we would climb no clue how many miles but its after you leave Vegas going to Cali. sure some of you know what rock im talking about.
I wish there were more drivers like you willing to lend a hand. I've had the fortune of having such help in a similar dock. Here, though CR driver had room for a 45 at the start; the one I dealt with you have to do 90s and I've never gotten the hang of them. Like I said, a driver saw my plight and helped me out. What surprises me is that even with the help, CR driver still managed to get into an accident.
I see your at it again johnny B. First you save the life of the motorcyclist and now this. You are bringing back the whole "knights of the open road" vibe. Nice job.
I am reminded of an old saying: Build a man a fire, and you keep him warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and you keep him warm for the rest of his life. This was agonizing to watch.
I hate these smaller places myself. I have people get out and spot me at times, just like I do for others. We are a diverse brotherhood of drivers and we are at our best when we look out for each other. Stay safe, brothers and sisters.
For all the 4 wheelers that wanna talk 💩 and say that trucking is only driving in a straight line and that’s it and that anyone including them selfs can do it 😂
You a good and very patient man to help this fellow out. We all need a little help from time to time. God bless you . Hope some day when I get out there that I meet good ppl like you.
in Europe, mostly in the western "civilised" part of Europe, they choose to sit in their cabs, record you and make fun of you. I don't really understand how that helps. Even if the driver is dumb as a tomato, why would you want him to crash into something? Get out, explain him what to do, maybe he'll even learn something from you. You have my respect for helping newbies out.
daGRiPreaper idk man... take a look, most of the videos on here r american and even this guy was taking the video to ridicule this guy too.. good on him for helping when he did but its not just europe, in fact i would guess that this kind of thing is even worse in america... who new such a low end profession could feature such ignorance and arrogance
When people laugh at you struggling it has advantages 1. You will realize your not as great as you told yourself and it will keep you humble. 2. When you don't get out and look, you will NEVER become a good driver...EVER..3. you'll ask for additional training.
That was me when I got off my trainers truck he didn’t teach me how to back so my first few loads I looked like an idiot all the truckers at the docks were all looking at me crazy , but I figured it out eventually after 1 month smh!!!
I just passed my cdl exam today. I would love it if people helped me. But i also would be so nervous to help anyone else. Hopefully once i get experience i will be able to help others. Prime inc has been great!
The space looks big in video but it's not! I go there every week to load and it's a small space. ALL drivers take at least 15 minutes to park in the dock.
CR England makes most of their money grabbing any one off the street and ramming them through classes, have them work for 9 months while trying to fine any way to withhold pay then find any excuse to fire them. I went though this same thing. They are trying their best but they barely know what they are doing. This is the level of their training.
M.J. R. And I’m about to find this out the hard way. Wish I had did more research on this company.!!! God help me!!! They make it sound so good over the phone
All "training" companies are like this. I started with CRST... Ugh... The key is to get a good trainer after you get your CDL and a good team mate after (CRST is all team, I believe CR England is, too). I was fortunate to get both. Now I drive solo. Hate doing 90s... can't grasp the theory for some stupid reason. When I saw this guy not set himself up for a 45, I knew he was in trouble. Like my trainer said: if you got the room, use it.
28 cpm. These companies get what they pay for. He should not be driving if he cant 45 alley dock. That is a very easy dock too. After 2 weeks of training and being with a trainer till he says your good is not a good practice. Especially when the trainer has only been driving for less than a year. UNBELIEVABLE!!!
I appericiate the idea that you offer to help this guy. I hope I find guys like you out there. Since i am getting into this . Joined a driving school. Watching this guy struggle to back up, I see myself in that tractor. Goodness
Exactly!! Come in, bring it to the left near the trailers, then angle it off to the right. Then aim the back corner of the trailer directly at (but not hitting) one of those refers, back up and jack-knife it in.
I'll be the first one to say that i had to go the mega-carrier route to go to trucking school , and get my cdl. I now know we were passed through like cattle, and not properly trained. Especially on how to back up!!! It's so deflating to not be able to do your job properly.. But i am thankful that we have some caring, experienced drivers who will give their time to help an inexperienced driver. Thanks to men, and women who take the time to guide us, and not just sit there and laugh, or try to look cool by making a you tube video showing some rookie driver struggling to back in somewhere.
I Feel Sorry For This Poor Guy !!!! It Is Not His Fault That C.R.England Only Teaches You Just Enough To Usually Fail Your Road Test, And C.R. England Thinks That A Trainer With Only Months Of No Training Or Poor Training Him Self, Is Enough To Turn Him Loose On The Road, Or Hire Him As A Trainer For Another Student Who Will Be Poorly Trained By A Poorly Trained Trainer !!!!!
Considering getting CDL. After watching these types of videos I have second thoughts. This looks so stressful and tough. How the hell do you truckers do it???
I was a trucker passenger before I became a driver. Trust me, having some form of control actually makes it all seem better because you are the one looking at 4 mirrors, out the window and have the option to Get out and Look. It freaked me out watching others park cause I was focusing on how massively huge semis are. However, That sense of control and safety/patience eases the anxiety. If a 22yr. Old girl as myself can learn it, you are fully capable of gaining experience! Being steady and looking at your surroundings is the taboo.
Get out and look, that is the main reason new drivers hit so much stuff, they don't GOAL.... if I took a half an hour to get it in there, I was glad as long as I didn't hit anything or anyone's truck.
I'm glad to see that you had the patience to sit there and help him out. Yeah, his facial expression was like "I don't appreciate you telling me how to drive this truck" but you still took time out of your day to help him. He was probably just annoyed that he couldn't get it by himself but he has to realize that he pulled in the wrong way. Everyone knows that when you're backing into a parking spot that you have to swing out to bring it in, especially in a semi. I don't know anything about semi trucks but I know for sure the way he was doing it wasn't the correct way. I live up the street from a Coca-Cola factory and I always see truckers swing out in a 45 then back it in. I hope he learned from you and not to make the mistake of just expecting to back in from a straight line and you're respected because you let him do it instead of kicking him out the drivers seat and being one of those arrogant drivers that just want to show off his skills. but let's be real here, this process could have went a little faster if you just got in there with him lol
realize that this is a year ago, but this is so painful to watch. At some point this guy should have gotten OUT OF THE TRUCK to get a look and then you could have given him a better understanding of why he needed to be at a 45 degree angel and where at.
He's not understanding the concept of backing and probably nervous and not understanding what directions the gentleman helping him with the directions is saying. if he out there long enough he'll get it
GOOD SETUP & G.O.A.L.!!!! (Get-Out-And-Look) USE THEM!!!! THIS IS NOT THE STATE EXAM. YOU DO HAVE MORE THAN 2 FREE & DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HITTING 13 POINTS!!!! JUST DON'T ENCROACH, AND YOU'LL BE JUST FINE!! I always use what I learned in school, in the real world. It helps me keep my head on a swivel!!!
I would've asked the guy if I could park the truck for him as he watches how its done!, But I know some people can take it the wrong way when you trying to help!
I'm a yard jockey I see drivers that can't back up all the time The last driver asked if he can drop it for me to back it in because he didn't know how . Than after he was loaded he asked where to park for the night I told him on the side of the building there's a dirt lot other drivers were parked there . An hr later he was circling the dirt yard Because he couldn't back in lol He asked me to hop in his truck and back his truck in I didn't have all day I was busy so I did it for him I don't get how these drivers are alone with no trainers and don't know how to drive
First I'd like to say thank you for getting out and helping him. I think the best way for him to understand would have been ask him to please step out of the cab, and point out how to set himself up, and steer as needed. When I watch these kind of videos, the biggest problem I see is drivers don't (GOAL)-(Go Out And Look..) and over-steering is a huge issue. also when you're not sure, STOP get out and look AGAIN. Never feel like an idiot to start all over AGAIN. I always say whether you back in blind-side or not, once you don't see the back corner of your Trailer, you stop and check.
None of us OTR truckers want day cabs, the added 9 or so feet doesn't change much, and also over a while the motels will fill up with so many trucks you can't even park.
I applaud the fact that you actually decided to help the man instead of being judgmental. We need more drivers like you on the road. It's supposed to be a brotherhood. We need to help each other out. Especially the new folks. I know when I started, I had all sorts of issues of backing. Even now, I get into some spots up in Philly that really require some thinking.
I still have a hard time backing at times.. glad Babyblue is there to save my butt.
True, many truck drivers think they've never been rookies.
The driver is never listen to sign by Mr baby blue...he is still doing what he wants...
Absolutely. I see a driver that needs help I do it. It is just the right thing to do
Do directions the UK way, 'Right hand down....left hand down" . It works.
Let's help each other out instead of taping and laughing everyone has to learn something they're not used to doing.Amen☺️
Yeah I've tried to help a few people before and they waved me off.
I feel you on that one that's real
You are so true
What did you smash into? :P
That's real talk.
I was struggling in the first 2 months and it was stressful . But time has help me and I’m doing way better with more confidence . Thanks to guys like you . Thanks and god bless you
I just got my first load and believe me I know how you felt
@@robertgray9802 you're going to be feeling that way for at least 6 months probably more
Took me 6 months to feel somewhat confident. I would over steer
I really admire the fact that you took the time to help this driver! Wish there were more people like you out there!
Nicole Biscoe I know when I'm finally out there in a month I hope someone is willing to help me because i will respect and appreciate thier experience and advice

So don't feel sorry just say you remember your new days
I dont open doors or slide tandems until in the hole. Makes my life easier
@@Matthew-ev4cv yes but sometimes you have to open your doors before you get in the slot because there is no room.
@@myronbedner5163 no no I mean get in pull up enough to open then go back I've only had a handful of times I couldn't pull up enough...coca cola usually and a liquor place in NJ
New drivers...no spatial awareness, no depth perception, no big picture. I was there, we all were!
Yeah, no feel for truck or trailer.
I started city straight from school. First day solo I got situation like this person but a little more flexibility to straigten out.I can say it took me a month to get a somewhat adjusted to the truck, 4 months to feel confident in any situation and perception of distance when backing.

You mean to tell me there are actually still people in this world that will help instead of just watching. Damn its a miracle haha good vid man. Hell im givin a thumbs up just cause ya helped.
day u can know his name was giving pussy for 20 callers at the truck stop
Man i try every time even when some rookies get mas for my help. But there is some guys who appreciate the help. Specially when its a blind side parking in NY NJ or Chicago.
The people who don't help are insecure about their ability to help someone elae back up.
I do it almost everyday
Three open doors, it should be a breeze for you, but have Patience you will get it soon and you will laugh at yourself in about a year from now when you handle situations like this like a boss. Happy Trucking.

You're an angel on this one brother you took timeout to guide him. I respect and thank you.
I never seen such a good person trying to help others God bless you man
You would think these warehouses would have plenty of room for semi's but they don't and they don't give a shit
kenny clower cheapass mf's
I would just unHitched and leave,,,LOL :)
kenny clower this is not tight , but when you lack common sense and aptitude for the trade you get a guy who can't back and hits everything buy the dock .

Thank for being a good driver with a good heart for the new trucker God bless you
I'm proud of you driver most would've laughed n gave commentary, that looked like a tight hole for anyone. KEEP ON TRUCKING
I applaud your positive attitude in saying we all gotta start somewhere! Much respect
YOU SO NICE PERSON GOD BLESS YOU IS HAPPEN MOST OF TIME WHEN PLACE IS TIGHT AND LITTLE EXPERIANCE
And it seem like they put all the newbies in the tight spots
It's all about the set up. Don't try and force a bad situation. Reset and try again. Good on you for helping. I always get out to help if I see the driver struggling.
Thanks for helping, that CR driver. I'm in CDL school now I hope I run into drivers like you (not literally) lol. EVERYBODY needs help sometime.
My first year OTR there was always at least one guy willing to help me without me even asking for help after watching me struggle for a few minutes. A couple times I waited a half hour for the guy in the door next to mine to leave so it was easier. Thankfully they didn't mark me late.
Willing to bet now you got it down patented 👏😊
Share I or we as rookie drivers we appreciate you sir for your patience and time. I’m also a month long with C.R England. I had many help me when I have that good help I listen right away and get it in safe and fast. Thanks again sir🙏🏼
I thank all the drivers that helped me back my truck when i needed help cause it looks easier than it really is
Lol Lloyd
My brother you tried to help there are good guys like yourself out there thx and appreciate you
thank you for helping him God bless
That’s really good of you help your fellow driver out..but man you have some guts walking in between the back of his trailer and yours while he is trying to back up especially with a rookie driver!
ppl act like it's easy to do until you tell them to do it then they panic. truck driver job isn't easy and even those vets have a challenge in these circumstances. at least he didn't tear nothing up
Benjamin3@ exactly sometimes I think I forget how to back
You're so right easier said than done and then he didn't have much room to maneuver his tractor. have nowhere to pull up that's a very tight spot
@@lisatimmons6051 he had room. Didn't know how to utilize it. He most likely doesn't know his truck.. If you don't know what your truck can do, then you'll never ever get backing down..
Man ur so right when u said that
its guys like you.. that help, and teach ppl how to make a living. ur a good guy dude.
They always teach you to "Get Out And Look" when backing. This dude was too lazy to do so, obviously.
He set all wrong for backup
thas right..GOAL..
It's an automatic fail with england in the hiring tests if you don't get out and look, no matter how perfectly you do your backing.
Absolutely awesome that you didn't laugh and helped him out. Like you said we all started somewhere
It’s not funny anyways .
I currently work for CRE, and they don't train us to alleydock only parrallel, straight back and offset. You learn it with your trainer but you will not have enough opportunities to master it in just a few weeks. Luckily my trainer gave me good tips, I use my reference points to get me in the whole. I Appreciate the video
Im also a CRE driver, we did learn alley dock, as its required in Ga. But still not enough time to really get it. Plus its different using cones.
I am so thankful for truckers like you. We all have those moments or days were we are stressed and we dont set up right. He should have gotten out to look but you helped him and hopefully he will learn from this and get better. I now get it in tighter spots better than big open spaces. Im still a rookie and i hold people up getting out and looking a bunch but i dont hit things. Bless you.
I like your positive attitude
The 'helper' waved his arms and hands so much, there weren't any flies seen for years in this town after that trucking rodeo...
Thanks , I started with that company , other drivers got out and helped me cause I struggled for the 1 St year when there wasn't alot of head room , when I'm dead tired I still like to get out and look several times , hope CR had a thank you attitude
You are a nice guy trying to help my man
Camera man! Couldn't be more right about that. I like the fact he acknowledges that everyone should start somewhere. No matter how many mistakes, driver did. I guarantee he did his best. Camera man!!!! There should be more fellas like you out here.
That's what I'm talking about we are one family so help each other's truckers
Just want to say that I appreciated every driver like these two who gave me assistance when I started then took time to explain where I screwed up my entry. It actually made sense explained after going out on my own. Thanks to guys like you I never had to explain to someone why I hit their rig.

GOAL and to proud to ask for help is probably the larger cause of that
right use goal for one thing get out and look which he didnt and i guess he didnt realize s kind hearted person like you is willing and trying to help and that look he gave ya i guess he just felt like he didnt need any help im a professional when cleary it showed he needed some help and i mustof missed how he bent his bumper i did see another driver backed it in there for him though
how you gonna talk shit about swift if you ain't even out training during this video .
+JBG TRAVELS your voice sounds like b real from cypress hill
Listen here window licker... Until you've been solo you have no right to make fun of swift. At this very moment you are below any swift driver.
God bless u man for helping that driver. Its joyful to another fellow driver being helpful to us all drivers out here!
mad respect for the guy helping out
i love seeing California overland trucks. my dad is leased on to them. he hauls turkey to Cali every week and Vegetables back. he is an owner operator, owns his truck and trailer. my mom and him are team drivers so truck never stops moving. im in process of getting my cdl. my dad started driving when he was very young. got into a truck when he was 21 and he just turned 50. i love trucking so much. i have so many memories going out west. i remember probably 18 years ago watching a tornado split into sisters. 2pm and then you thought it was 11pm. sudden darkness. my dad drove for small company called ITA. he drove a kenworth w900. also remember stopping at this huge rock where we would climb no clue how many miles but its after you leave Vegas going to Cali. sure some of you know what rock im talking about.
Backing a 53' trailer isn't as easy as John makes it look.
Especially with a big road tractor. All the big talk from the carriers about going to a 57 foot trailer is completely nuts.
+Pete Kranz yes there crazy i wont be loading that thing..
If they go that big, I will stop driving
+john Magill really naw not me i like driving semi trucks.. i will just refuse to haul that.. and actually.. back that..
it's easy
You’re a great man, god blessed you. thanks for helping him. Hope all drivers do same thing.
I cant believe I just watched that...GET IT TOGETHER DRIVERS!
I wish there were more drivers like you willing to lend a hand. I've had the fortune of having such help in a similar dock. Here, though CR driver had room for a 45 at the start; the one I dealt with you have to do 90s and I've never gotten the hang of them. Like I said, a driver saw my plight and helped me out. What surprises me is that even with the help, CR driver still managed to get into an accident.
very nice of you to guide them in. You should have a toy truck with some chalk and sketch how they should back up the truck.
I see your at it again johnny B. First you save the life of the motorcyclist and now this. You are bringing back the whole "knights of the open road" vibe. Nice job.
I am reminded of an old saying: Build a man a fire, and you keep him warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and you keep him warm for the rest of his life. This was agonizing to watch.
I’m a few weeks away from getting my CDLs and truckers like you are the reason I’m glad to be getting into the field! Stay safe out there!
That's a pretty tight lot though, especially with a 53 footer and a sleeper.
I hate these smaller places myself. I have people get out and spot me at times, just like I do for others. We are a diverse brotherhood of drivers and we are at our best when we look out for each other. Stay safe, brothers and sisters.
For all the 4 wheelers that wanna talk 💩 and say that trucking is only driving in a straight line and that’s it and that anyone including them selfs can do it 😂
You a good and very patient man to help this fellow out. We all need a little help from time to time. God bless you . Hope some day when I get out there that I meet good ppl like you.
in Europe, mostly in the western "civilised" part of Europe, they choose to sit in their cabs, record you and make fun of you. I don't really understand how that helps. Even if the driver is dumb as a tomato, why would you want him to crash into something? Get out, explain him what to do, maybe he'll even learn something from you. You have my respect for helping newbies out.
daGRiPreaper bino
daGRiPreaper I agreed
daGRiPreaper idk man... take a look, most of the videos on here r american and even this guy was taking the video to ridicule this guy too.. good on him for helping when he did but its not just europe, in fact i would guess that this kind of thing is even worse in america... who new such a low end profession could feature such ignorance and arrogance
daGRiPreaper i have yet to see this being a thing if an Euro trucker can’t back there’s something wrong.
When people laugh at you struggling it has advantages 1. You will realize your not as great as you told yourself and it will keep you humble. 2. When you don't get out and look, you will NEVER become a good driver...EVER..3. you'll ask for additional training.
You are a Saint John.. That driver owes you big time!
what happened to G.O.A.L
It's a dying practice.
GOAL is what you and everyone else shouts when you hit it in. :D
get out and look? Just making a guess, and yes I'm about to look it up :)
Timothy Deal lol
Goal is a number one thing that is what teach us in school get out and look
Thanks for your help you are a real person , most of truck drivers are so unkind and make laugh when they see a fellow new driver making mistakes .
That was me when I got off my trainers truck he didn’t teach me how to back so my first few loads I looked like an idiot all the truckers at the docks were all looking at me crazy , but I figured it out eventually after 1 month smh!!!
i wanted to say thank you for helping the driver
The Look on that Driver face Like what the hell am i doing here
Rob MacLeod, I know that feeling. Lol
I just passed my cdl exam today. I would love it if people helped me. But i also would be so nervous to help anyone else. Hopefully once i get experience i will be able to help others. Prime inc has been great!
The space looks big in video but it's not! I go there every week to load and it's a small space. ALL drivers take at least 15 minutes to park in the dock.
Is this Hansen's in Milwaukee, Wauwatosa off burleigh
I’m so happy to see your help , thanks a lot to give assistance buddy
CR England makes most of their money grabbing any one off the street and ramming them through classes, have them work for 9 months while trying to fine any way to withhold pay then find any excuse to fire them. I went though this same thing. They are trying their best but they barely know what they are doing. This is the level of their training.
M.J. R. And I’m about to find this out the hard way. Wish I had did more research on this company.!!! God help me!!! They make it sound so good over the phone
Bro . am in the same boat . am starting my class soon . am just praying that god guide me through this experience.
Big turnover numbers.
All "training" companies are like this. I started with CRST... Ugh... The key is to get a good trainer after you get your CDL and a good team mate after (CRST is all team, I believe CR England is, too). I was fortunate to get both. Now I drive solo. Hate doing 90s... can't grasp the theory for some stupid reason.
When I saw this guy not set himself up for a 45, I knew he was in trouble. Like my trainer said: if you got the room, use it.
When I started driving back in 1998 I was a yard goat for 3 years. I'm thankful I got that job.
28 cpm. These companies get what they pay for. He should not be driving if he cant 45 alley dock. That is a very easy dock too. After 2 weeks of training and being with a trainer till he says your good is not a good practice. Especially when the trainer has only been driving for less than a year. UNBELIEVABLE!!!
I appericiate the idea that you offer to help this guy. I hope I find guys like you out there. Since i am getting into this . Joined a driving school. Watching this guy struggle to back up, I see myself in that tractor. Goodness
why do people not understand u need to be hugging the trailers in the docks before u set up your approach? ??
Exactly!! Come in, bring it to the left near the trailers, then angle it off to the right. Then aim the back corner of the trailer directly at (but not hitting) one of those refers, back up and jack-knife it in.
@@renzo7503 Please tell me what the term jack knife it means, like make a sharp turn it???
90 degrees like a jack knife opened halfway
Need to see where your tandem are going.
I'll be the first one to say that i had to go the mega-carrier route to go to trucking school , and get my cdl. I now know we were passed through like cattle, and not properly trained. Especially on how to back up!!! It's so deflating to not be able to do your job properly.. But i am thankful that we have some caring, experienced drivers who will give their time to help an inexperienced driver. Thanks to men, and women who take the time to guide us, and not just sit there and laugh, or try to look cool by making a you tube video showing some rookie driver struggling to back in somewhere.
I Feel Sorry For This Poor Guy !!!! It Is Not His Fault That C.R.England Only Teaches You Just Enough To Usually Fail Your Road Test, And C.R. England Thinks That A Trainer With Only Months Of No Training Or Poor Training Him Self, Is Enough To Turn Him Loose On The Road, Or Hire Him As A Trainer For Another Student Who Will Be Poorly Trained By A Poorly Trained Trainer !!!!!
@Hello Jeffrey how are you doing
Thanks JBG for helping others ❤️
Man there is a lot of room for him to play with there at the end
Your the man I always put myself in that drivers shoes, you saved his ass...... thanks for being a good dude
Food is going to spoil before he gets it in the door.
scott k yea be all thawed out
Lol
Thank you for helping and understanding we all had to start some where and not laugh....you are a real MVP
Considering getting CDL. After watching these types of videos I have second thoughts. This looks so stressful and tough. How the hell do you truckers do it???
Years of practice and 100% Grace
I was a trucker passenger before I became a driver. Trust me, having some form of control actually makes it all seem better because you are the one looking at 4 mirrors, out the window and have the option to Get out and Look. It freaked me out watching others park cause I was focusing on how massively huge semis are. However, That sense of control and safety/patience eases the anxiety. If a 22yr. Old girl as myself can learn it, you are fully capable of gaining experience! Being steady and looking at your surroundings is the taboo.
Get out and look, that is the main reason new drivers hit so much stuff, they don't GOAL.... if I took a half an hour to get it in there, I was glad as long as I didn't hit anything or anyone's truck.
JBG TRAVELS . . .your cool bro . . . im looking into driving n thats cool that u are helping new drivers . . . much props.
I wouldnt say he didnt appreciate the help, he just didnt know what he was doing.
i think you are correct
Happy to see you helped him instead of making fun of him, Everyone was a rookie once
slide your tandems!!!!!!!!
t scooter Exactly, you slide your tandems back once you get lined up with the door.
It doesn't even matter, he has absolutely no concept of what to do.
Some places (cough cough Campbell's and coca-cola cough cough) require you to slide tandems to even enter the yard. Dumbest freaking idea I swear.
I'm glad to see that you had the patience to sit there and help him out. Yeah, his facial expression was like "I don't appreciate you telling me how to drive this truck" but you still took time out of your day to help him. He was probably just annoyed that he couldn't get it by himself but he has to realize that he pulled in the wrong way. Everyone knows that when you're backing into a parking spot that you have to swing out to bring it in, especially in a semi. I don't know anything about semi trucks but I know for sure the way he was doing it wasn't the correct way. I live up the street from a Coca-Cola factory and I always see truckers swing out in a 45 then back it in. I hope he learned from you and not to make the mistake of just expecting to back in from a straight line and you're respected because you let him do it instead of kicking him out the drivers seat and being one of those arrogant drivers that just want to show off his skills. but let's be real here, this process could have went a little faster if you just got in there with him lol
realize that this is a year ago, but this is so painful to watch. At some point this guy should have gotten OUT OF THE TRUCK to get a look and then you could have given him a better understanding of why he needed to be at a 45 degree angel and where at.
He's not understanding the concept of backing and probably nervous and not understanding what directions the gentleman helping him with the directions is saying. if he out there long enough he'll get it
GOOD SETUP & G.O.A.L.!!!! (Get-Out-And-Look) USE THEM!!!! THIS IS NOT THE STATE EXAM. YOU DO HAVE MORE THAN 2 FREE & DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HITTING 13 POINTS!!!! JUST DON'T ENCROACH, AND YOU'LL BE JUST FINE!! I always use what I learned in school, in the real world. It helps me keep my head on a swivel!!!
@Hello Michael how are you doing
What I find funny about this is that someone has hit the exact same pole he was about to hit. Good job for helping him. Stay safe out there
I would've asked the guy if I could park the truck for him as he watches how its done!, But I know some people can take it the wrong way when you trying to help!
@@8SecSleeper , that's understandable!
@@8SecSleeper , You're right, times and things are different now!
Full respect from a UK trucker. Get out and help.
some C R England guys know what they are doing... And then this guy...
Still better then a Swifty
That has room for a debate😁
JBG TRAVELS yeah, I will admit that lol
I don't know bout that
Your film is worth gold for beginners!
I'm a yard jockey I see drivers that can't back up all the time
The last driver asked if he can drop it for me to back it in because he didn't know how .
Than after he was loaded he asked where to park for the night
I told him on the side of the building there's a dirt lot other drivers were parked there .
An hr later he was circling the dirt yard
Because he couldn't back in lol
He asked me to hop in his truck and back his truck in
I didn't have all day I was busy so I did it for him
I don't get how these drivers are alone with no trainers and don't know how to drive
First I'd like to say thank you for getting out and helping him.
I think the best way for him to understand would have been ask him to please step out of the cab, and point out how to set himself up, and steer as needed.
When I watch these kind of videos, the biggest problem I see is drivers don't (GOAL)-(Go Out And Look..) and over-steering is a huge issue.
also when you're not sure, STOP get out and look AGAIN.
Never feel like an idiot to start all over AGAIN.
I always say whether you back in blind-side or not, once you don't see the back corner of your Trailer, you stop and check.
why do these company's give these guys these big trucks they should give them day cabs and get them motels it would be cheaper
XxzombiekillerxX mlg pro go fuck urself idiot
None of us OTR truckers want day cabs, the added 9 or so feet doesn't change much, and also over a while the motels will fill up with so many trucks you can't even park.
Dedicated local accounts rock.
JBG you a good man! helping the dude out!! We all need to be that way!
