All those reactions in the comment section of people who don't understand how this truck combination works and why he jackknives his trailer. First of all, the first manouvre of the truck driver where he jackknives the trailer is because he wants to check the trailer lights at the end of his work day without leaving his cabin... No harm to the trailer intended and it isnt a fuck up in his reversing , he's well aware of what he's doing and this is not something you do daily. Second thing is. The middle axle of the trailer is lifted. That means the wheels don't touch the ground so the tires wont be harmed. The tires on the most rear axle are spinning independent from each other to avoid major wear when doing this. The trailer is even equiped with a extended drawbar. I'm from holland and these trucks and trailer chassis are made to do this because of the small farms/loading area's where these kind of trucks do their work. If needed these trucks can even do this while carying load.
Well said, makes me angry when people comment on things they have no idea about. Driver was vigilant and totally incontrol But there are plenty of numpty drivers out there without a clue
@@macdill927 well, in this case he is, because he’s the owner if I don’t mistake 🤣 but still, you’re right, the lift axle argument is shit because the other tires are still turning in place
Used to drive these drawbar rigs with demountable bodies. There was no need to jacknife the rig in the first Manouvre. He just needed to keep right on approach thru the gates then swing it left until the rig straightens up and reverse the trailer round to the loading area.
The commentary explains what he does in the first manoeuvre, so don’t judge to soon. He says he’s showing off ‘if you’re a good combo driver you check your own rear lights’. More of a joke/showoff thing, I’m sure he doesn’t do that every day he just shows off that he can control the trailer however he likes
The maneuver he did was not in order to park. Take a look at the lights on the trailer at 0:43. The driver did this to check the lights on the back of his trailer, which the person in the start of the video said. (In Dutch.) It’s unfortunate that the uploader of the video didn’t explain what was going on in English in the video description. There’s a LOT of people who completely misunderstood what this was about, me included.
first of all good day. 13L or 15L. 500-600 hp. 6 or 8 cylinders. 0 km. How many thousand dollars are only the truck engine prices? I want information from you. thanks.
Many drivers struggle to back up a unit with a single pivot point (semi-trailer) backing a full trailer (double pivots points) is exponentially more difficult.
Я вообще не понял что он сделал! Заехал на территорию, взял правее больший радиус и налево, к легковушкам. Сдал назад. Вуаля! А тут и шины порвал, и телегу выкрутил... Хер знает.

There should be a warning: "dont do this with loaded trailer". But still the driver got skills. He makes it fast. And tires and fuel you can save on a highway. Most drivers dont.
Ja tam sie nie znam ale gosc Ronald na gorze pisze ze pierwsze zlamanie sie w scyzoryk bylo tylko po to aby po robocie sprawdzic tylne swiatla. Bo sie nie chcialo z kabiny wylazic. Dlatego lamal sie 2x :)
I have never driven a drawbar combination like that, but from what I can see he only did all that nonsense so he could see his trailer lights from the cab???
I’m not a truck driver, but I used to drive a long Mercedes Sprinter van with various trailers on it, and when I wanted to check the lights at the back, and there happened to be a reflective surface nearby like windows on a garage door, or a vehicle with a dark paint job on it, I would just back up to that and use it as a mirror. But only if it was raining or something like that. The guy in the video may just have been showing off AND being lazy at the same time, but it did look like it took a couple of seconds less, than doing it the old fashioned way. 😄
In the commentary he basically said just for the poops and laughter he was going to check his lights from the drivers seat. In the real world it's a useful move in some really tight yards. Push the prime mover and trailer parallel to each other and load through the back of the prime mover and front of the trailer, best with light loads though as the wheels on the a frame will be along the trailer not under it.
@Glen Jones Indeed. In any case, even though this was a superfluous manoeuvre, (I'm convinced that this was motivated by 90% showing off, 8% laziness, and 2% his colleagues egging him on 😏) it is definitely a good idea to challenge and improve your skills in the art of reversing your 25.25 meter long rig into "impossibly narrow" places, in order to be ready for the sometimes not-so-rare occasions, where you find yourself backing down a narrow alleyway that is only 2 meters wider than the trailer, followed by a sharp bend into a loading bay that you can't see. (And there's no available spotter to help you.) Come to think of it, I really miss the challenge of reversing with trailers semi-blindly into narrow spaces. Especially with trailers that are so narrow, that it can't be seen from the cab when it's aligned with the van, or ones that are really short! 😌
@@ibelieveyou2066 its funny how you contradict yourself there with UK and then Australia right after... which is just like UK compared to the US in trucking, sit down sir
@@ibelieveyou2066 roads are straight and wide in Australia, unlike Europe. But you seem to comment like you know a thing or two about what truck drivers do in a day, especially when everything he did was utterly pointless. The 1st manouver, nearly hitting the fence, checking lights in jacknife when he comes to a yard, dry steering.
Nothing amazing about this drivers skills, he can easily jack the draw bar trailer round and simply reverse into the space in a single shunt, plenty of space in that yard even with a righthand drive vehicle!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What was the point in that 🤷🏻♂️ could have pulled forward to where he first was and reversed an artic to where he ended up without that stupid maneuver he did
Guys, why so negative. I know this guy. He’s the owner of the company. He’s a kind and funny guy. He was just showing in a funny way how you can check the trailer lights.
De lichten controleren had je moeten doen voordat je wegreed. En als je goed het terrein op gereden was had je meteen kunnen terug zetten maar je moest gewoon opscheppen met wat je kon maar het is wel slecht.
Where on this planet is THIS amazing ??? ??? On the contrary there are senconds that were dangerous ! To move to the left side of this area every truck driving beginner in Germany could do that in half of that time and with less maneuvres...
To adjust the angle of the mirrors, he's looking at the rear wheel of the trailer to make sure it's not rolling. The first rear trailer axle is not rolling no matter what, because it's lifted.

Knap dat je zo met een schamel kan rijden, al maakt het wel makkelijker dat je motorwagen relatief korter is dan de aanhangwagen. Maar je lichten op dezen manier controleren... euh alles voor de camera denk ik. Je kan ook gewoon uitstappen.

All good on what your saying and yes he's good at his job but I wouldn't say its amazing in trucking world.
@@ian5384 you do a good job at reading sir
why did he do the first maneuver?
looks like he had the space to get where he started the second back up from the beginning.
Checking his taillights brakelights by him self. Thats what they said
@@crosmeracer ho okay :)
Opening the door to look backwards. Not good.
exactly what I was thinking
Me too !
Amazing condition of tyres,
after this manoeuvres.
lift axle, so no problem
Quite shit actually
Thinks he's good
@@macdill927 well, in this case he is, because he’s the owner if I don’t mistake 🤣 but still, you’re right, the lift axle argument is shit because the other tires are still turning in place
Good demonstration of the possibilities to turn around in a tight space. Two lift axles are practical to avoid damage on tyres. Well done driver.
I think you are amazing Klaas,congratulations ,greetings from Canada. 😎🇨🇦
where was the 2nd lift ?
@@steveluckhurst2350 One in truck, one in trailer.
Ok ,what was the first reversing manoeuvre all about if drivers objective was to end up eventually where he did .
The commentator said that the driver was checking his own trailer's stop lights
The parody of it is that at 1 mph seeing your trailer like that is cool but at 70 mph it's a shitty day
Great skills !!
Il 90% dei camionisti starebbe ancora lì dentro a smadonnare!
#respect 🖤
A good driver will take a few backups and won't fuck up the tires like he did
Totally agree.
never heard of lift-axles??
Exactly

Yes, but not with an A frame trailer. These Dutch and Scandinavians are in a class of their own.
This js different from american doubles,you cant turn that much without f.ing it
It's not hard he's driving a bloody ridged.
New tyres please !🇬🇧
Zrobiłbym bym tak na egzaminie c e to wylatuje za bramę
Que añoranza tengo de la epoca en que conducia conjuntos como este. Ahora están en vias de extincion😢
I think he would be able to control his own backlights. 👍
That is exactly what the voice is saying: "Een chauffeur controleerd zijn eigen remlichten."
A rigid truck, with a trailer with front moving axels aint east and takes a lot of practise so respecc++ to this bloke
Wow! That was amazing!
How to destroy your tires for nothing...
Its not his, thats the point
You may notice the the front axel on the trailer is not touching the ground.
@@richardmacleod4878 Very good observation. I didn't noticed it ; along with many others..
what? basically u dont know a thing about truck
No tires destroyed there... both lift axles are lifted so no tires dragging around...
Why didn't he just drive into that position to begin with!
I could hear the reunion bushings just screaming from here!
At least he keeps Dunlop/Michelin/Continental going.
to są kierowcy co pracują za 400zł codziennie w domu a nie ci za 240zł w rabenie
really? why didnt he just back up from the street?

Chaufeur eerste klas.... mooi eem verlichting check... topper
this is such a maneuver in poland on the driving test haha
he was checking his full signaling on the trailer.. blinkers brake reverse and presence lights.
when does the amazing part starts?
He could have looped around and backed up...

I think the first maneuver was not necessary. He had enough space. But he did the second well. ....
Hé wanted to check the lights
@@gerlofboy2011 🤣🤣 That could be true......
@@JB-257 No no, that IS true. (The Dutch guy said it in the beginning of the video. Also, take another look at the back of the trailer at 0:43.)

Можно было так запарковаться гораздо быстрее и проще. Это не плохой водитель, но до профи далеко.

He never thought about problems with tires 🤣...but he will.
Pretty slick........For a MAN driver 🙂
You could turn a ship in that yard
Great job!
My girlfriend cannot even parallel park after trying for 10 minutes.
Not bad 👍
why does he check turn signals? he didn't use them when he turned into the lot.
The first maneuver was totally unnecessary then?
X fare una manovra così ha il timone idraulico 😉👍
Way too much unnecessary maneuvering
Yeah Good, but twice as much work than needed
as if that was remotely difficult its the truck and trailer that do all the work NOT the driver
He could have taken left side u turn by coming in from right side and then had a simple reverse.
