You just missed one of the greatest thing about Memphis when you crossed the river. St Jude children's hospital was on the left.
A good job Kevin and Tanya
Thank you!
Kevin is magnificent at backing!!
😆😆😆🤩Thanks! He’s blushing. 😉
That Reversing was a Job Well Done Lad.😉😉.
Number one channel on 🌎 🌏 u2 be safe,,god bless . Kevin is great,,respectful n professional driver.. n u do gret job planning the yiu tube filiming,, n narrating,,love channel,,never miss..be safe u2❤
Was that a husband and wife team driving those 2 trucks? I follow Super Trucker Dan. He's a flatbedder for Mercer out of Arizona. They appear to be a good company to drive for. I believe all owner/operator. Excellent backing job.
Great job backing. One think I used to do when I had to move the tandems back was to, as you did, get lined up well, go back release the lock, pull ahead, then back up very slowly to the dock. If you do it correctly the tandems won't move and then when you are done, you just pull up, set your trailer brakes, and slide the tandems back to where you want them. Saves a couple of steps. Just the way I did it years ago.
Nice job Kevin backing up. Right on the money. Thanks for the great video.
Safety tip:. If you're going to slide tandems after backing all the way into the slot, don't back alllll the way to bump the dock first. There could be anxious dock workers that open their door and drop the dock plate while you get back in the truck. You slide forward while someone steps into your trailer to remove load locks = disaster. I like stopping a full foot or two short of the dock just so there's no way anyone inside knows you're set. Then slide tandems, back all the way in, turn off lights. Never crunched anyone yet.
Thank you!!!!! That’s a VERY GOOD tip!!!!! Much appreciated!!!
Great job of backing Kevin be safe
Great backing skills Kevin. That purple 389 was beautiful.
One time and done
Great job Kevin
One shot and a half. Showing off their Mr. Kevin? Big timing there.😎 Pretty cool set up and execution.
That was impressive, Kevin basically nailed it one shot. Tight spot and maneuvering around the long nose 389👍🏽.
Enjoyed, you two stay safe. 😊
how long hve you been doing this 25 years kevin your backing up skills sure make it look that way great job
Awww! Thank you so much for your kind words! Only 2 years. 😆😆😆
Great job backing Kevin.
Omg I would of never thought of backing in that way. I would have just waited until the other trucks moved
Great backing. Reminds me of backing a load of hay into the barn behind a John Deere tractor.
Thanks 👍 Appreciate the compliment and the visual. 😃

It's always enjoyable to watch your videos. Kevin stays calm and cool even when things are going array. Love the fun loving personality you both possess. Have a blessed day.
My Aunt and uncle use to drive truck for over 45 years. He started off hauling swinging beef and then other products. Then they bought some land that came with a large building so they could service the equipment. They had quite a few trucks and trailers that would run from Chicago to west coast and back. I was laid off for a few months and worked for them either changing oil or whatever they wanted even worked at their house. My aunt for so many years got by without a driver's license, not sure how. Then he got cancer and they had to sell their business and trucks.
Hi guys! I’m a longtime viewer who just started with Werner. Out by myself this week. Thanks for all the great content over the past few years. Invaluable! Safe travels.
If you have been watching the video's you would have stayed away from Werner!
@@vikings844 where is a new driver supposed to go to get experience when all the mega carriers that will hire those with no experience have bad reviews?
Tanja and Kevin
Have a nice and Safe trip.

Thank you for sharing your awesome videos. Kevin your backing skills are awesome..Well done. I will be looking for more of your content. Much love from Wolfie here in Rhode Island.
Great job backing! Like a boss!
Good job backing. I have a tip/suggestion for you. When you need to slide the tandems back, you can pull the lock handle out when you open your doors. You can then do your backing in, the tandems will not move unless you want them to. After you get lined up straight with the dock, you can proceed to slide the tandems without getting in and out of the truck. Also, there's no need to lock the tandem slide while being loaded, especially if you're only going to slide them forward again when done loading.
Beautiful 😀 😘 great 👍 👌 👍 colonel Jamal from dubai
😃😃😃👍
@@TheJoyofTrucking 👍😉👌😀❤️🙂✌️

Well done, Kevin!
What a reverse Kevin great skill 🇮🇪
I picked up a load down the street from there at a company called Berry.
Hi to both of you miss you
🖐️ Guys , As always simply awesome.
Did you tell him u have a tube channel...lol I nearly spit ice cream laughing
Damn good backing job!
Definitely good at backing up the rig.
May I suggest you consider a camera with a stabilizer or use a gimbal for motion video. It would enhance the quality of the good job you already do.
Great idea! Thanks for the tip!
Nice view
Kevin is very skilled at backing up! Great job!
Hello. Been a while. Great video!
Nice
I’m picking up from there right. Lol
Do you ever get to stop and take in attractions or just what you see as your driving? I understand wheels have to turn to make money. Just curious. Love the videos. Thanks.
Fiberglass is made of glass.
