Hope this video helps anyone who is struggling or would just like general knowledge on how to couple and uncouple a trailer and tractor unit for their part A test.
it’s an amazing video that will help you to pass without stress, thanks dave for the explanation the way you teaching is professional anyone sees this video can do it with any lessons, well done and wish you the best, see u soon ✌🏽
All very good when i was taught many years ago red airline came of first then the yellow and when pulling out from trailer pull forward of pin stop and dump the air from rear axle pull out and re inflate backing under trailer do the opposite back up stop close get out check height get back in drop rear of unit back half under inflate suspension and lift trailer clear of ground back under engaging fifth wheel tug forward twice
I'm just starting my journey toward becoming an HGV driver, and this is great. It's helpful to see what I'll be trained to do, and what I need to do to pass. Thanks so much.
When you unhook the fifth wheel and are pulling out drop your bloody airbags down! What sort of professional driver would let that trailer hit the fifth wheel like that! That is not professional at all!
A couple of things that I thought you should have checked are, the reversing lights on the trailer when you checked the brake lights. Also the height of the trailer matched the height sign in the cab 👍
OMG, this guy is lightyears in front of the RSM Chelmsford, where I began my license (I have finished with another school). No mumbling, no coffee in hands, no phone in hands. This is how I imagined a trainer at that time.
If you were my teacher. Wouldn't be able to miss your lesson. You on point. And you make it enjoyable. You make it look easy . And make it look like it can be done
We are driving log shuttles at a port. Trailers are unbraked. They're a bastard to hook up when empty, and have fixed landing gear. I end up having to smash into them to stop them rolling down the dock. Not mechanically sympathetic, and I hate the massive clang and jerk that seems to be required, No problem with 60+ tonnes of logs on the loaded trailers, but the empties are just a PAIN!
Hi, the truck suspension can drop itself if you come out slowly, plus we have sliders on the rear of truck which prevents the truck jumping up and hitting the trailer.
Bloody heck half of “t” shift be over by time done all that 🇬🇧got my license 1989 when you could do it from your car driving license. For free from the dole (DWP). Can drive anything hgv any motorcycle and passed car first time 1887 bike 1989 all first time 😊
Great video but I missed so much of what this man said because of shitty audio and no microphone protection. Please be professional and use a proper fluffy or mic the speaker up when he's talking over a running engine.
Thanks for this great demonstration! I followed it to the letter and I passed with flying carpets. Although, the examiner did say that there wasn’t a need for me to shout at her.😅
Why not teach people how to do a Light Test...? Most modern trucks have a light test function that cycles all the lights. Unless I'm going out solo, I do the vehicle walk round once coupled up, checking unit and trailer at same time.
Great vid but i didnt see any explanation about dropping tractor unit suspension when you move off from the trailor or raising it just before you go in. Im assuming thats what the red tape is for on the mud guard...the point at which is best to raise and drop the suspension on the unit or is it just me.
Hey, I enjoyed it as much as you did but I haven't heard once. You mentioned about suspension😢😢😢which was a very vey important step for the training part. BLACKS, break, Legs, Air, Clip, Kingpin and ; and Suspension. God bless you.
textbook perfect, then the newly licensed student kills someone, I remember my truck driving instructor said "I'm not teaching you to pass a test, I'm teaching you not to kill someone" - those words have stuck with me since then and this isn't against this vid. It's against the "Text book Testing" that as long as you can run your hands over a tire, wave at lights, couple/uncouple... if you're not taught how to actually drive such a unit you'll kill someone.
Loving the big red sticker above the offside drive axle. That's the most blatant Sticker / Mark / Cheat I've ever seen. And then there's the yellow tape on the O/S rear spray suppression. Not at all discreet. I'd chuckle if the examiner peeled them off one day before a test.
Good stuff. I passed my class 1 back in 2009 and I've mostly been driving vans since then with the occasional 7.5t and 18t run. I've applied for an artic job within my company which means passing an internal assessment before they'll let loose on my own. My company (Royal Mail) runs single and double-deck trailers so I'll have to remember to take note of the ride height of the trailer and adjust the height indicator in the cab to match. Thanks for the video!

Best video by far, at explaining Coupling & Uncoupling.
Informative/ straight too the point/ clear and understandable
Thank you for teaching us

Aren't you suppose to turn the engine off every time you come off the cab

Why didn’t you drop the air after you came off the pin?

Never seen a teacher like you .thank you very much.
B break L legs A airline c click k kingpins handle ❤
Good instructor. Ex military?
Well explained and crystal clear.

very nice thanks for the vedio very helful "Black" breaks ,Legs, air lines, clip, king pin , you are awesome man thanks
Is there any chance you could turn captions onto this video? I'm partially deaf and can't really understand what's being said
This guy is a good instructor I would let him teach me
Did you check indecaters were working?
if you go to 21:31 you will here he says "cluster lights are working" . even with hazards on this is enough to satisfy the examiner
Disagree, if the indicators have been wired incorrectly you could end up with the unit indicating left and the trailer indicating right.@@sykes6163
Top lad, really like the way you demonstrated this, BLACK is also a great way to remember 👍
What if you hear Kading kading clunk?
Best coupling and uncoupling explanation video thank you very much 😊
Good instructor i bet he is ex army.
Great experience with great explanations 🙏🙏❤️
Lift your air on unit as you go under before you connect with kingpin that ensures you wont miss it or damage legs.
How are you checking lights are fit for purpose without the suzies on?
A clear, concise, and informative explanation. Well done !
Am interested in your classes. How can i enroll? Confirm the address of this institution

Best video I saw so far, thank you as it will help me a lot, you really know your stuff.

Fantastic and very thorough. Thank you 😊
You are actually meant to take off the emergency brake first

I dont think they teach that for passing the test.
Thanks, great video.
