I remember the first time I back into a truck stop by myself. Took like 10-12 pull ups but I really felt like a professional once I backed in and walked into Pilot.
@@jessiehughes9432 even if you hold someone up. pull up if u need to not hit someone.... coming from a trucker who only stays in a truckstop when there is no other option so take it as u will lol
First day on my own I hit a guy's brush guard. Luckily there wasn't any damage. The guy was cool tho and actually gave me a backing lesson. and taught me some tricks on backing for like a half an hour. I learned more in 30 minutes than what my trainer taught in 25 days. I still look back to this day and think about how lucky I was that I hit that guy's truck. I think more ppl now days need to see a person who's obviously new and get out your truck and help that person instead of picking up the phone filming. Trucking is a stressful job and even more stressful when you are new. Especially since these megacarriers just throw random Joe's off the street into these big ass trucks. We need to help them out. we were all rookies at one point.
It's nice to get help but if you don't speak English fluently, please dont try to teach me how to back in. I was having trouble getting into a spot and this guy comes over speaking another language with a little English thrown in and I had no idea what he was trying to teach me. He was trying to tell me what to do for 15 minutes before he walked away. Once he finally walked away and let me keep trying on my own the way I was taught, I got it in there.
Biggest issue is lack of training. Most big companies have trainers who won't let students back because they get paid for their miles. I train and get paid hourly so I train my students right.
@@fikruable I'm telling some areas are rough.It seems like most the time I'm stopping for the day around 3am due to way I received my loads.I can't tell you how many times I've slept in a entrance ramp.
Same here 5 months in went to shitty scammy CDL school so now my actual learning experience begun OTR. We just got to remember any other job we did or something we had to learn and remind ourselves how hard it was in the beginning and later on you look back and laugh at yourself how worried scared you were. It helps me out big time oh and pretend you’re on the lot alone no one is watching you ect sure helps. 👌 🍻
New driver here, I avoid parking at truckstops. They’re all soo little and everybody’s in such a rush just like you said, dude was right behind you and you didn’t want to make him wait… It’s the impatiens of others that gives us newbies anxiety. We are trying.!!! *disclaimer. I’ve never hit anybody’s shit😅
I was being super polite in the video lol !! I usually just park and mine my business… If someone has an issue they can walk up to me and let me know :) Thanks for watching
@@BJAM0608 exactly....try not to hold people up but we are all at different stages of skill....you gotta get out and look 5 times it is what it is....i mean if a guy is struggling and you are in a hurry HELP THE GUY OUT lol....nice vid man
Just do what you need to do. As they see you doing it, they'll know you're new. Most will not grief you because they know. Some always will, but that's part of the game. Toughen up and ignore them. Normally as that plays out a 3rd person will side against them and they'll shut up.
I am a Trainer with my company and you are 100% right my man. Steering wheel holders need to get their damn asses out of truck and look! As many times as it takes. It's called being a professional! Good video my man. I been doing this shit fifteen years, the day you think you know it all is the day you need a new profession.
Dude man yes !! It’s super annoying when I see people acting like they’re to good to get out and look to make sure they aren’t hitting someone else’s stuff Thanks for watching
Thanks for this I got out 5 times one time and that's the best decision I made don't want to hit nobody's truck my second week solo and it's alot I'm still learning
Don’t ever stop getting out and Looking ! People will get mad and honk their horns and all that, doesn’t matter get out and make sure you’re not hitting someone’s equipment
I’m out on the road right now and I did a 45 back right into a spot perfectly for the first time like you did here and it felt good to see improvements
I SUCKED at backing in truck stops and all when I first went solo. My trainer only cared about racking up miles, so he never took time to teach me. He just yelled whenever I screwed up and rushed me because we were "burning time". I got a lot better once I was off his truck as he wasn't screaming in my ear about how shitty I was backing. When I'd talk to more experienced drivers, guys with decades behind the wheel, they'd all pretty much tell me how bad a trainer he was. No matter how good I got though, I NEVER stopped Getting Out and Looking. If I had any doubt to having the space available, I got out and looked.
Glad it helped you out ! I made it because I’m tired of people hitting my truck at truck stops !! I just got hit again on Friday night at a truck stop :( Thanks for watching
It not really that hard. Just pull up like just little but over halfway hard right come out until pass center line and hard left until see back of the struck. Reverse and guide it in. Never need get out look. I had to park the truck where there is no gap between trailer
@ZEUSDATRUCKER🚛🚛 I had learn it the hard way. Where backing to be precise. I had to do a jack knife backing inorder to pass because they little bit of space. What had to do pull up all way up and hard right to jack knife and then guide it back in
Thank you for showing this video. I find myself having issues with this. Just yesterday I dropped a trailer, just for the yard jockey to park it for me. 🤦🏾♀️
Thanks for posting... Just got my CDL and will be going out on the road in the near future. There are a few scenarios I have concern about and backing in a truck stop is one of them. This is a great video to help with that. Thanks again
Thank you for the tips i was watching your wheel while you turn and backed up. I saw what you meant about walking it, im going to try that the next time i back up. Thank you
Yep i learned to focus and goal and pull ups are a good thing to strengthen or move the trailer over to the direction needed to get into the spot safely. I say this being humble for sure......
Cool and accurate. Nice KW. GOAL. I drove tractor trailer 11 years till the worker comp back injury. You get better when you keep practicing. I really didn't care how many times I got out and looked or did corrective pull ups, I needed in that spot (whether for parking or the dock to load/unload) without hitting anything. If you didn't look, you can only blame self when you hit.
Also would like to mention that you should center yourself as much as possible in your spot to give the next trucker that parks next to you enough space to back into their spot
Need to show one where you don't have as much room to get in between trucks like one on each side. Some trk stops are not as roomy to swing in and out when you leave. Great video. Stay safe.😎👍
Being a intermodal local truck driver , mannn I back up at least 10 times a day and them rail yards spots be tight tight , but it taught me to back into a truck stop using limited space
His trailer pointed towards the road in his cab right to the dock, give me 40 acres and I will turn this rig around..........Just have a little bit of fun, Seriously great backing video I enjoyed it.
First day on my own and I'm doing great. Had to do a slanted parking at truck stop. I'm surprised I did it after a few minutes. Just take it slowly and as soon as the trailer go the wrong way, fix it. Take it slow everyone
I don’t know why these are so hard for me still 90 days out and these slanted spots mess with me. I ain’t hit shit yet, cuz I look at where my shit is.
Nice work bud! It probably would have took me 2-3 pull forwards lol! People are so scared to pull for forward!!!!!!!! Don’t ever be be scared to pull forward if shit gets wonky!!!!
Because people are afraid of looking like a rookie ! I’ve been driving truck for 11yrs and I still get out and look regardless of what people think of me Thanks for watching :)
Amazing video driver. I miss backing up 53' trailers. I'm stuck backing 28' pup trailers for now and that's a little bit more challenging to do. Drivers get a lot more better at backing running local routes with pup trailers.
Using this video to help someone else out. I really appreciate that you had concern for the other drivers clock. We're all just trying to make a living. Be safe drivers! 'Jesus Saves'
Lol!!! Yes I think they believe it not cool to get out and look.but I do get out and look. But can you do one on backing at those tight spots at the shipper
I'm new to trucking and with swift( I know worst company to go with) and I will admit I tapped into some bricks at the shippers location but I'm doing everything exactly what you're saying and I appreciate you taking some time into making a video like this
I do the same technique and for all of new driver that avoid truck stops to no hit others truck my advice to you its to not be afraid go ahead and try it especially in the day time where it's a lot of spaces available and practices if not you never going to Learn. be safe in the road my falla drivers
Mane im tripping😂😂 i know you was sick of people hitting your truck i can hear it in your voice mane im in school now but love the video brother I'll make sure not to hit nobodys sh@$ 😂😂
Dude you have no idea lol ! The first time it got hit was before my first payment… The second time was a little while later So to me it made sense to make a video on getting out of the driver seat and looking to make sure you are clear before backing into a spot Thanks for watching
Good on you checking first. Too many of these steering wheel holders can't back up to save their life, they can't even back straight, much less see-side or blind side. Pretty sad, they can't back, then they hit the other truck and drive off.
Good Job Dawg. .Don't look now But you are a professional.. Don't worry if you ever Truck up, Just keep doing what you do... And for the love of Peter Paul and Mary... (BE SAFE)
You should have picked a single spot with trucks in front then see how well you do. TA Bloomsbury NJ back row west side single spot let's see you back in that spot with no pull up room
You sound like me 😂 sitting at the yard wondering why it seems so difficult to some I also hostled in a tractor not just a mule pretty fun makes it more of a challenge rather than too easy 😉 challenge yourself when you can so when you have to its easy and you have the confidence for it. Sad to hear you seem to always have someone hitting you. 😪 it's better and everyone would rather you get out and look than damage another truck.
how about when you are backing up into a single slot rather than 2 available slots. seems like you had extra room for mistakes. I imagine it is a lot harder in a single available slot. do you have a link to that one? thanks for sharing.
My thing is the angle to start with kuz in trucking school you start out straight lock your wheels then watch for you angle my trainer on the truck tryna get me right but I feel like he be having me do to much
When exactly do you turn hard right? He did it after passing only 1 parking spot. I usually turn after my side mirror is at the end of 2 parking spots. When exactly is ideal?
Ok, i saw the hard right then left. My question is did it matter when u started doing the right turn? I thought u line up the spot u want with your shoulder then hard turn right. Im new.
It’s more of a timing and feel thing ! I’d say once you see your trailer going the way you want it start to turn the wheel to get the tractor back underneath the trailer and just walk it in there I’ll make another video showing how to do it again soon Thanks for watching and I hope I was able to help you out
@BJAM0608 u just saved me! I just lost a local position because I'm rusty for $1750 weekly. All because I didn't walk it back in there and was doubting myself. The tester was extremely on bs. So my confidence was shot. Thanks again.
It took me one time to use goal, get out and look now. It's not going to kill us to get out and look. Also use all of your mirrors, that's way they are there and even the mirrors on your hood as well
Your new driver and you can't back that's not a problem anytime you're sitting around with time on your hands you throw a couple traffic cones out and you practice practice if you got a co-driver you can like call out dock numbers to them hit the stock hit this stock and see how long it takes you to go through like 10 docks . Youmake a game out of it be amazed how good you get it backing it just takes a little practice I like to practice with nobody watching me because even with cones I kind of suck but I amazed myself practice bro you'll get good at it I guarantee it. I forgot to mention you do it away from everybody find a closed industrial building with a dock area and practice there find a big dirt lot across the street from a truck stop and practice there.
I can agree with that however I think it’s kinda difficult to find the space to do what you’re saying at a truck stop … I do agree with you.. I think that being a local driver
Where to start turning the wheel to the right where should the tires be ? Do they need to be on line with the next truck to the spot we gonna back ? And when do i stop turning the wheel to right and do it to the left to straighten up truck
I always look for easiest back possible, which in my opinion is a straight line back. If i hv to do a back like he is doing( i pull spread axle..u cant back a spread like a closed tandem) i will just get close as im backing in. I dint see a need to hit spot perfectly on first try if i have two open spots. I will get close then pull up and get into the space as i should.
I remember the first time I back into a truck stop by myself. Took like 10-12 pull ups but I really felt like a professional once I backed in and walked into Pilot.

Love that I keep hearing the same things from different videos. G.O.A.L. amd don't be afraid to pull up
I get out and look A LOT lol !! The only time I don’t is when there’s more than enough space between where I’m trying to get into
Need to show one where you don't have as much room to get in between trucks like one on each side. Some trk stops are not as roomy to swing in and out when you leave. Great video. Stay safe.😎👍

@BJAM0608 u just saved me! I just lost a local position because I'm rusty for $1750 weekly. All because I didn't walk it back in there and was doubting myself. The tester was extremely on bs. So my confidence was shot. Thanks again.
1:45 please be careful and use 3 points of contact entering and exiting. great video
I usually live by thought process safety 3rd lol
Thanks for watching
It took me one time to use goal, get out and look now. It's not going to kill us to get out and look. Also use all of your mirrors, that's way they are there and even the mirrors on your hood as well
I’ve been saying that !! People would rather look kool and that’s freaking annoying lol
Thanks for watching :)

Ama fast learner,ready to sign up
Thank you 🙏 for sharing
Your new driver and you can't back that's not a problem anytime you're sitting around with time on your hands you throw a couple traffic cones out and you practice practice if you got a co-driver you can like call out dock numbers to them hit the stock hit this stock and see how long it takes you to go through like 10 docks . Youmake a game out of it be amazed how good you get it backing it just takes a little practice I like to practice with nobody watching me because even with cones I kind of suck but I amazed myself practice bro you'll get good at it I guarantee it. I forgot to mention you do it away from everybody find a closed industrial building with a dock area and practice there find a big dirt lot across the street from a truck stop and practice there.
I can agree with that however I think it’s kinda difficult to find the space to do what you’re saying at a truck stop … I do agree with you.. I think that being a local driver
Where to start turning the wheel to the right where should the tires be ? Do they need to be on line with the next truck to the spot we gonna back ? And when do i stop turning the wheel to right and do it to the left to straighten up truck
Take a pitcher. Sir on your phone great 👍
I love LOVEs truck stops that have more than at least 90 parking spaces although I need one space 🤞
perfect job
Do that at night between two tractor trailers.......no one is perfect
I’ll make a video of that when I go back to work
Thanks for watching :)
Nice and smooth 👌
Truck stop parking is fun, can be interesting to say the least
Good job!
this should be a priority in cdl school
You’d think so however it isn’t ! In truck driving school the priority is the dang PRE-trip inspection
Thanks for watching
Thanks because I'm having problems with this maneuver but I didn't hit your truck 😆
Keep trying and before you know it you’ll be backing like a pro :)
I always look for easiest back possible, which in my opinion is a straight line back. If i hv to do a back like he is doing( i pull spread axle..u cant back a spread like a closed tandem) i will just get close as im backing in. I dint see a need to hit spot perfectly on first try if i have two open spots. I will get close then pull up and get into the space as i should.
I understand that ! I can make turns much quicker than a spread axle with the box I pull. Stay safe out there :)
1:15 was that a funnel in the distance?
Looks like it lol !!
