I honestly do not care who you drive for, I respect anyone that takes one of these rigs down the road. Without you, we do not move forward. Always, give the man/lady driving that truck the respect and distance they need to get from A to B safely.
Thank you. Wish all drivers would be considerate as you. I don’t think many drivers know how much room we need to stop. But they keep cutting us off, or slamming their breaks to give another car the right away.
Early in my trucking career I did some long haul work. But you only back up a trailer once every 3 or 4 days. It was always embarrassing. Then I got a job as a city P&D driver. Now I was backing up 15 to 20 times per day. That's when you really start to get the hang of it. Practice makes perfect.
A lot to be said about this. I dunno why, I got my cdl's in 2011, couldn't get hired in any job until 2013 as a yard dog. Bad luck I guess, I put in applications every weekend (didn't have internet at home). But as a yard dog, I mastered backing in trailers from almost any angle (even blindside). I could put a trailer anywhere it needed to be, no problem. But that came at a cost, road experience. I didn't have the experience to haul a load from one city to the next, but when a driver couldn't dock their trailer after 20+ minutes, I offered to help and planted their trailer within minutes. A trade off I guess. The trailers I parked in the yard didn't even have room to walk between them. Tight room, but hard practice. That practice of backing up makes a huge difference.
@@oniviper took you 2 years to get a job? Probably because you weren't willing to go to an entry level/major carrier, i'm assuming. I guess if you had the funds to wait it out for a better opportunity, it might've been worth it.
@@stevenp9209 Mostly correct. I tried every place I could think of, or saw hiring signs for, in my local area. Was looking particularly for local routes or ones that I'd be out for a night and back. Going OTR was not a viable option under the circumstances going on in my life at that time.
@@stevenp9209 Unfortunately no, I do not have a CDL job at the moment. This is mostly because of a decline in health due to the side effects of contracting cancer and the side effects of treatment with chemo and radiation catching up with me, even tho I'm cured. I still retain my CDLs, and my current boss uses me when needed as his most experienced driver for shipments or heavy fork lift situations as needed. My old employment with the yard dog job was not pleasant to say the least. My employer was terrible about maintainance on the trucks (broke down often), terrible when it came to winter gear (chains for the tires), and the contractor we were hired with was terrible about maintaining their equipment (the trailers) and the yard. The overall experience left a bad taste in my mouth with regards to the trucking industry. But don't let that be a discouragement to you if you're thinking about joining the trade. My experience was just a bad dice roll in life (among others). Two close friends have recently gotten their CDLs and are working closely about starting their own fleet and bringing me on to help. You never know what doors might open by getting your CDLs.
I just used this to help me back a big UHAUL trailer attached to our truck in a small parking lot. It worked great!!! What excellent education for everyone but special shout out to all the drivers out there
I accidentally tapped an idle truck with my right rear trailer. After that, I'm always anxious everytime I'm doing alley docking. After watching this video & actually performed it, my confidence level has boosted tremendously. Still anxious, but not as much as before. Thank you for the video, I really appreciate it.
Been driving for a little bit and I’ve been hit and have accidentally hit a dropped trailer. Constantly anxious now and hate backing up, i take my time every time and get out 100x if I need to
Explained and executed well. Especially nailing 1 OF IF NOT the most important manuever, the set-up. Also not to panic when U think you lost it or failed. Part of execution is knowing what failure is then U correct it. Don't be ashamed if you fail. U get back up and keep at it til it's executed.
Well said, I know this is a old comment but frustration control is a big part of learning. As someone who is climbing through the ranks of the freight and heavy equipment industry failure/a bit of struggle is only a part of learning and gaining the experience required , something I wish someone had said to me starting out. Driving the truck is easy putting your pride aside and asking questions when failing can be a pride shot to some fellows and should never be viewed that way to better your experiences on the long haul in my opinion 👌
Thanks for saying that. Currently in school and it's a little overwhelming at first. Gets your nerves going. Especially when I'm used to a Honda civic 😂😂 but I'm excited to learn and start my career!!
Schneider rejected my application 3 days before i was supposed to start training and told me reapply in a year. And here I am, learning how to back in a trailer from Schneider for my new job. I gotta thank Schneider tho, this video is a huge help!
So i did my evaluation with a new company and i've never backed a 53 foot trailer. I used all of the steps you mentioned here and i put it perfectly in the hole. This was by far the best video that showed how to set up and what to do than any other video I had seen. Thank you!
First rule to backing. Never back up unless absolutely necessary. The set up for backing is very important. Never ever attempt a blind side backing; try to keep all objects in your mirrors. After setting up to back your trailer; turn the wheels and slowly walk the line. You want your trailer to enter the space without hitting other trucks or trailers. Adjust the wheels while backing and pull up if necessary.
There’s nothing wrong with blind side backing (if you have no choice) the key to blind side backing is getting out as many times as necessary and continue to visualize the distance and room you have between 2 trucks. The biggest problem with blind side backing is people don’t get out and look. Some docks around the country require a blind side backing otherwise you won’t get on the door.
"Never ever attempt a blind side backing"...proves little experience. Sometimes there is NO choice. Blind side isn't some major problem unless you lack the patience for all the stopping and getting up from the seat to look out passenger mirror or window.
I was confused with the clock as well until I seen from the top viewpoint. It is amazing how thing you can understand more from looking at it at a different viewpoint.
Massive Thank you for this video!!! People, this is real, no BS! apply 100% what you see and you will back up any truck trailer. I was struggling for 10 days to get this right, until I saw THIS video!
Just started this week and I have to say this is the best training program ever! I’ve learned more in this week that I’ve ever learned in school! Great decision for training!
@@schneiderjobs Im in CDL school right now and my instructor was a driver trainer at Schneider. She is a great instructor and she has nothing but great things to say about Schneider.

Backing is the one thing that makes me not want to drive truck. I love the idea but it makes me nervous. This video was really helpful and makes me understand it a lot better. Thank you for explaining it for people who have a hard time understanding it.
@jamievalentine7324 for me it was helpful, why you may ask, simply because The Driver was way much on the left and had to correct it. that's the mistake many beginners make, and seeing how to properly correct it, is what makes this video awesome.
*_I remember going through that training with Schneider National instructors at the Dallas, TX. OC. Good times (as far as my training there is concerned). I was in a shitty relationship with an -ex girlfriend (who was also training there with me) at the time and made to feel poorly and was totally unappreciated by her and that really took a toll on me mentally & emotionally, but that's another story, entirely. Schneider National's training program gets two solid thumbs ups 👍🏾 from me!_* 😁🏆
I know as a coach driver, there’s some friendly rivalry between us big road users but I’ve always got a ton of respect for you lads and lasses. I couldn’t do this. I’m happy with my vehicle not splitting in half 😂 Keep fighting the good fight, people.
Same here Schneider gave the proper training Best company when it comes to safety Not much for the pay but since you are new, it’s good to learn about safety first because you take that proper training wherever you go and mostly like you will be a safe a great driver your whole career thanks to the training you had at the beginning
@@JoseHernandez-lm3hs I'm about to get a part time job to save up for truck driving school, my Question is what is the starting pay? What is the work schedule like, any advice I should know. Thank you.
@@socalcandy85 Pay was not that good when I worked with Schneider, but they will give you good training If go for dry van you might get the least pay, ask them for intermodal, with intermodal you will get pay more although is more of a hustle. Schneider used to have a program where you can get your license through them but you have to commit to work for them at least two years Most companies won’t hire new CDL drivers if they don’t have at least two years of experience I work on intermodal, I do regional runs I feel happy here Been doing this for over 8 years Although not all companies are the same It’s hard to land on a good company
Great job,well explained,one of the best back up videos I have seen,the old saying do it right the first time,cutting corners usually catches up with the driver sooner or later.
I’ve never seen this before, and it looks pretty difficult! If I were in the driver’s seat, I think I’d need lots of practice! Hats off to the really cool demonstration!
One of the best videos about backing up at 45 degrees. Nice and safe explanation how to make it right when you got this angle. If you need to get off a couple more times to see how the trailer is before getting in between 2 trailers, just do it !!! As many times as you need it , I would say it. Avoid accidents !!!
I learned how to park trailer in ATS/ETS. And I have to admit this video would not give me a lot of hints. The most difficult part is when you are inside the truck to "feel" how you should maneuver to make the trailer moving as you wish. When you look at it from a "bird position" it is very different (much simpler). And my finding from the learning process was that while you are learning it is actually better to wheel harder (more than you need in fact) just to feel the reaction and understand how the whole system behaves. And of course the fact that you have to keep in mind that additional "chain" at your back which makes you do things opposite to what you usually do when you part a regular car (like when you feel you need to turn left, it very often means you have to turn right). So it is quite difficult (as for me) but also a lot of fun. I parked a lot of virtual trailers and now can do it even from the first attempt (without additional forward-back aiming as in the video). :)
I have not been behind the wheel of on of these yet but I especially appreciate how you show how to correct the angle of the turn . My biggest worry about driving a big rig is backing
Good tip. I've been going straight into my hard right once I hit 9 o'clock this looks like it's gonna make a huge difference on the way I get into spaces. Thanks
I have a full time job already but the money just pays my bills, I'm about to get a part time job to pay for Truck Driving School. Any advice I should on schools, what tips helped you? Thank You.
37 Years ago I graduated from USA Training Academy in Newark DE. You wouldn't hire me. Millions of accident free miles later. I'd like to say thank you.
I've worked for Schneider and theyre great but i can't say that they went above, teaching how to back a tractor-trailer over DDA in Shreveport, LA. When i got to Schneider, the instructors were amazed with my skill at backing, that One of the two "Mikes", Big Mike & Lil Mike, literally bet me that i couldn't one shot back a trailer into a spot, with fully extended tandems and along with them decreasing the operating room for the tractor. BET! One shot, backed in between two trailers with four inches of gap between the two trailers i back it between. Don't Play with me, Give Me My Money! Man i miss the food they cooked at that OC!
I don’t always back, but when I do, I have a football field to work with haha. I wish they would train students for reality. Place a few awkwardly parked cars nearby, have a few trainers walk around your truck, have another trucker inch closer and closer and closer to you until he’s taken ALL of your backing room, and place a line of trailers across from him. Then he will learn something.

certainly the most informative video to learn docking, the best complete video, thanks to the instructor and the driver, this video is to show to all drivers and beginners ,from france 🇨🇵
By the time you walk around the truck, 3 guys drove behind you, and there's a dude standing there wanting to polish wheels for a 3 piece chicken dinner and a dr pepper. Watch for problems on approach and get it done.
Nice, just had guy come in from Schneider to the cdl school i just got in. I just passed my permit exam and got tanker, doubles and triples endorsement. I have three weeks of field training before my acual drive and skills test. Aftet that i will be getting my Hazmat endorsement but WA state requires a 16 hour class before you can the Hazmat endorsement. I will deff be watching this video over a few times im sure.
This is the first video I've seen where you say go to 12 then to 9. That's how I do a 3500 w/ trailer. I call it the "swing away method" Works good too.

@@jamesjaphet897 That's true most people today have been having a lot of failures in forex and crypto sector because of poor orientation and lack of expert guidance
I learned more about backing from watching this video than I did in school or with my company trainer! Do you have any videos about doing the same kind of back but with limited space?
Tomorrow I have to do a Driving test and backing up like and if I get it right I get to start a really good paying job. I’m going to try this tomorrow. I hope it all works out
I’ve been backing a stretched tractor with a spread axle trailer now for a year. When im alone somewhere I’ll back that thing into anywhere. When im loading and unloading thats my favorite part. If I have trouble with backing I’ll be depressed all day.
This is great, but ultimately the shortcoming that I found personally is that it still doesn't account for very small yards with tight spaces. Still , very helpful
This is very hard for new people but if you follow the rules step by step is gonna be easy and also more practice/reption is the key good luck to everyone who interested
Big trick that always helped me is imagine there are lines attached to both sides of the trailer and the wheel controls the slack of both of these lines. Turning the wheel to the left when you look through your left mirror gives slack letting the trailer move away from you. Turning the wheel to the right your pulling in the trailer end to you. Same goes with the right right side mirror turning the wheel to the right gives slack and turning the wheel to the left pulls the trailer end toward you. Biggest trick is using both mirrors. Don’t focus on 1 mirror because it will just make it harder and mess you up. The main idea is to figure out what works for you and a little imagination never hurts anyone. God Bless and drive safe!
Just started truck school earlier this morning and found reversing straight back to be difficult. I'll try your advice tomorrow (I'm imagining it right now). Thinking out loud to get it in my brain... these lines on either side are "tight" and "holding the trailer steady". When you turn to the left, the line on the left gets loose so the trailer can "get away from you" to the opposite side. Maybe I can also imagine the bottom of the steering wheel turning is the same direction as the back of the trailer. If the bottom of the steering wheel turns to the right, the trailer goes right. If the bottom of the steering wheel turns left, the trailer goes left.
I honestly do not care who you drive for, I respect anyone that takes one of these rigs down the road. Without you, we do not move forward. Always, give the man/lady driving that truck the respect and distance they need to get from A to B safely.
Thank you. Wish all drivers would be considerate as you. I don’t think many drivers know how much room we need to stop. But they keep cutting us off, or slamming their breaks to give another car the right away.
Same here and I always do. I even wave at them when safe to do so my way of saying thank u for what u do

I have been doing my setup from the center of the second space after the whole. That's where I was taught. I will try it this way.
I worked for schneider, their training is great. Definitely would recommend them if your fresh out of school !
Thank you!
Same here
Schneider gave the proper training
Best company when it comes to safety
Not much for the pay but since you are new, it’s good to learn about safety first because you take that proper training wherever you go and mostly like you will be a safe a great driver your whole career thanks to the training you had at the beginning
@@JoseHernandez-lm3hs I'm about to get a part time job to save up for truck driving school, my Question is what is the starting pay? What is the work schedule like, any advice I should know. Thank you.
@@socalcandy85
Pay was not that good when I worked with Schneider, but they will give you good training
If go for dry van you might get the least pay, ask them for intermodal, with intermodal you will get pay more although is more of a hustle.
Schneider used to have a program where you can get your license through them but you have to commit to work for them at least two years
Most companies won’t hire new CDL drivers if they don’t have at least two years of experience
I work on intermodal, I do regional runs
I feel happy here
Been doing this for over 8 years
Although not all companies are the same
It’s hard to land on a good company
@@JoseHernandez-lm3hs thank you!
Watched this video yesterday, used it today when I got back to the yard. Very good tutorial. 👍🏼
Glad it helped! And thanks for watching and sharing!
Great job,well explained,one of the best back up videos I have seen,the old saying do it right the first time,cutting corners usually catches up with the driver sooner or later.
Thank you so much, Ronald!
I get to see my father about 5 times a year because of this job. Love you daddy
This is one of the best videos I have seen in showing someone on how to back in a truck stop or wherever it might be .
Thank you Danny, we are glad you found it useful!
Rhis video is life saver, i got my CDL and i am on road with my mentor, this video shows me more than my mentor did. thanks
I’ve never seen this before, and it looks pretty difficult! If I were in the driver’s seat, I think I’d need lots of practice! Hats off to the really cool demonstration!
One of the best videos about backing up at 45 degrees. Nice and safe explanation how to make it right when you got this angle. If you need to get off a couple more times to see how the trailer is before getting in between 2 trailers, just do it !!! As many times as you need it , I would say it. Avoid accidents !!!
Kolle
I'm going to use this, remember this, and refer back to this. Thanks.
This is the best video I have ever seen on how to perform this maneuver. 👏
We're happy to help!
I learned how to park trailer in ATS/ETS. And I have to admit this video would not give me a lot of hints. The most difficult part is when you are inside the truck to "feel" how you should maneuver to make the trailer moving as you wish. When you look at it from a "bird position" it is very different (much simpler). And my finding from the learning process was that while you are learning it is actually better to wheel harder (more than you need in fact) just to feel the reaction and understand how the whole system behaves. And of course the fact that you have to keep in mind that additional "chain" at your back which makes you do things opposite to what you usually do when you part a regular car (like when you feel you need to turn left, it very often means you have to turn right).
So it is quite difficult (as for me) but also a lot of fun. I parked a lot of virtual trailers and now can do it even from the first attempt (without additional forward-back aiming as in the video). :)
Just tried this out like 5 minutes ago at a receiver and it was a pretty solid technique. A++ will try again.
That is so awesome! Thanks for sharing!
This yard is amazing it is bigger than any other yard i have ever seen
I’m not a truck driver, I have trouble with a bicycle, but I have to admire these select group for their ability. Great job parking that rig, buddy.
If you have trouble with a bicycle, then you should always wear a helmet....

I have not been behind the wheel of on of these yet but I especially appreciate how you show how to correct the angle of the turn . My biggest worry about driving a big rig is backing
Amazing video - thank you!
Good tip. I've been going straight into my hard right once I hit 9 o'clock this looks like it's gonna make a huge difference on the way I get into spaces. Thanks
Shaneka Stroud hey
@@freshmsck5 hi
I have a full time job already but the money just pays my bills, I'm about to get a part time job to pay for Truck Driving School. Any advice I should on schools, what tips helped you? Thank You.
Love the overhead camera angle, makes it really easy to see what's going on.
37 Years ago I graduated from USA Training Academy in Newark DE. You wouldn't hire me. Millions of accident free miles later. I'd like to say thank you.
I've worked for Schneider and theyre great but i can't say that they went above, teaching how to back a tractor-trailer over DDA in Shreveport, LA. When i got to Schneider, the instructors were amazed with my skill at backing, that One of the two "Mikes", Big Mike & Lil Mike, literally bet me that i couldn't one shot back a trailer into a spot, with fully extended tandems and along with them decreasing the operating room for the tractor. BET! One shot, backed in between two trailers with four inches of gap between the two trailers i back it between. Don't Play with me, Give Me My Money!
Man i miss the food they cooked at that OC!
I don’t always back, but when I do, I have a football field to work with haha. I wish they would train students for reality. Place a few awkwardly parked cars nearby, have a few trainers walk around your truck, have another trucker inch closer and closer and closer to you until he’s taken ALL of your backing room, and place a line of trailers across from him. Then he will learn something.
Great setup and 12 to 9 o'clock steering maneuver! Perfect. Thank you!
This video made me, finally, back up semi trucks in American Truck Simulator like a pro.
That's awesome, congrats!
Nice! lol. i do both in ATS and in real life.
It's a great game. Very realistic physics.
But it's much much harder in real life, i have to say.
@@schneiderjobs starting orientation dec 8th going to start class Jan 5 I’m nervous to even start the class watching these makes me feel like they going to get mad at me if I don’t get it down I’m also a good lister but when it comes to test ow man

One of the best truck backing videos. Thanks.
Pay attention Schneider showing you how to back up a semi. Next video Swift showing you how to crash properly. Sponsored by Werner,and CR England
Dewayne Miguel, underrated comment
I got the cr england training. I got (they gave)my cdl. Still I don't know how to back :)
@@commodusalexander3077 At Crst that's the only thing I was focusing on, the driving part is common sense. Baking actually isn't that complicated either tho
Backing*
Exactly lol
Thank you! I want to learn all I can about driving trucks. This looks quite difficult and a very delicate procedure. i really liked the derailing on all safety tips.
This is awesome ,come through this video when im about to start my CDL career ,Thank you sir stay blessed.
Thank you! We are glad you found this video, and we hope you chose to drive for Schneider!
certainly the most informative video to learn docking, the best complete video, thanks to the instructor and the driver, this video is to show to all drivers and beginners ,from france 🇨🇵
This taught me more than my trucking school as well as the company I’m working for
Thanks for watching!
That is sad af.
I got my license through Schneider back in '04 at Carlisle OC I still use this method until this day.
Do you have enough room in truck stops?
@@eliteseal99 yes I do small pilots loves whatever
Love it! My husband work for the company and I love the way he backs up!
Where are you from
Awesome, thanks, Regina!

This is the best 45 degree back up ever taught very practical and realistic ❤
very good video; aka in the warehouses of Paso Texas some do not have much space for such wide movements. Greetings
@Hello Ruben how are you doing
I know from experience u never have that much room but still an awesome video and thank you so so much
By the time you walk around the truck, 3 guys drove behind you, and there's a dude standing there wanting to polish wheels for a 3 piece chicken dinner and a dr pepper. Watch for problems on approach and get it done.
I didn't even get to finish reading your hold comment before I bust out laughing
That's some funny stuff 🤣 there
Omfg I peed a little
dont forget you will have 2 of 3 good buddies flagging you in cuz they thought you are new and just want to talk for the next 3 hours about life.
@@Billysherry1 pee behind the remourque
Nice, just had guy come in from Schneider to the cdl school i just got in. I just passed my permit exam and got tanker, doubles and triples endorsement. I have three weeks of field training before my acual drive and skills test. Aftet that i will be getting my Hazmat endorsement but WA state requires a 16 hour class before you can the Hazmat endorsement. I will deff be watching this video over a few times im sure.
Best backing video!!! I ve seen 1000 but thisone is BEST
I am working with Amazon . This is best set up for beck up. Thanks Schneider.
Glad to help!
I was doing my backings different until I watched this video , thanks Schneider 👍🏼👍🏼.
Excellent! Thanks for sharing that!
I need an aerial drone onboard that I could deploy for this real-time overhead view when I'm backing up. that view is priceless.
Im happy working with schneider, l recomended to the new students if they want to learn the professional way!
Thank you, David, we are happy to have you on the team!
That's a good thing!
I'll be there around next year
Good video, I can't wait until next year
This is the first video I've seen where you say go to 12 then to 9.
That's how I do a 3500 w/ trailer.
I call it the "swing away method"
Works good too.
Training for Schneider soon so I definitely need this
This is very nice, thank you for posting this, it's extremely useful for new CDL drivers
We're happy to help!
Much respect to the 18 wheelers drivers.
Thanks sir appreciate for sharing this vdo with full of skill to make reverse. I am Indian driver and salute to you sir from jubail industrial city, Dammam, Saudi Arabia 1-7-2021

@@Chase0522 I thought about driving with them but I heard they didn't do paid training so I'm going with Rhoel. What's your opinion of them?
Schneider one of the best trucking company in USA..
It's always been my dream to drive these awesome machines
Wow!! This is the best video so far. Well explain. I'll try this out next week. I just started my training for knight transportation.
I need a trainer this patient with me when I go for my cdl and hazmat/tank license.
I just got my learners permit; now I'm watching this kind of stuff a lot.
That was great, thanks for the lesson.
Wow, this seemed so easy. Plus there is alot of room. Great training video! I will try this. I am currently struggling with my backing in. Ugh...not giving up tho.
You got this! Practice makes perfect! Stick to the fundamentals and ask for help, tips from fellow drivers.
The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the World. This is still a time to invest in Gold, silver and digital Currencies.
TALKING ABOUT DIGITAL CURRENCY I HAVE BEEN MAKING LOSSES TRADING BITCOIN MYSELF...I THOUGHT TRADING ON DEMO ACCOUNT IS JUST LIKE TRADING THE REAL MARKET... CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT OR AT LEAST ADVICE ME ON WHAT TO DO
Most time having knowledge or insight about a particular activity can as well be a pleasing exercise. I can boldly say that forex and crypto trading is one of the profitable money exchange services that elevates investors and their financial status
@@jamesjaphet897 That's true most people today have been having a lot of failures in forex and crypto sector because of poor orientation and lack of expert guidance

@VICTORIA OPEH Well, you are saying the fact. I invested $3,000 with exprt Sophie Hills, and earned $12,000 in 7 working days
That’s a lot of room but it is good tips for new drivers. We are all family out here helping one another is something I talk about a lot on my channel
Thanks for the amazing video.
Glad you liked it!
I wish that these type of videos would show you what it’s really like out here to back up. This is just the basics.
it is a basic, a lot of room to do all kind of maneuver. process of executing your back up is a key element, and it was demonstrated here.
I learned more about backing from watching this video than I did in school or with my company trainer! Do you have any videos about doing the same kind of back but with limited space?
We are working on adding to the series! Hopefully soon!
Tomorrow I have to do a Driving test and backing up like and if I get it right I get to start a really good paying job. I’m going to try this tomorrow. I hope it all works out
This video helped me get through my orientation, thank you so much for the tips 👍
So glad it helped you! Drive safe!
i just started my career in ets2, this video help me a lot! thank you sir!!
I’ve been backing a stretched tractor with a spread axle trailer now for a year. When im alone somewhere I’ll back that thing into anywhere. When im loading and unloading thats my favorite part. If I have trouble with backing I’ll be depressed all day.
This is great, but ultimately the shortcoming that I found personally is that it still doesn't account for very small yards with tight spaces. Still , very helpful
I really liked this video and the way you explained the 12/9 and 1030/9 concepts.
This is very hard for new people but if you follow the rules step by step is gonna be easy and also more practice/reption is the key good luck to everyone who interested
Big trick that always helped me is imagine there are lines attached to both sides of the trailer and the wheel controls the slack of both of these lines. Turning the wheel to the left when you look through your left mirror gives slack letting the trailer move away from you. Turning the wheel to the right your pulling in the trailer end to you. Same goes with the right right side mirror turning the wheel to the right gives slack and turning the wheel to the left pulls the trailer end toward you.
Biggest trick is using both mirrors. Don’t focus on 1 mirror because it will just make it harder and mess you up. The main idea is to figure out what works for you and a little imagination never hurts anyone.
God Bless and drive safe!
Just started truck school earlier this morning and found reversing straight back to be difficult. I'll try your advice tomorrow (I'm imagining it right now). Thinking out loud to get it in my brain... these lines on either side are "tight" and "holding the trailer steady". When you turn to the left, the line on the left gets loose so the trailer can "get away from you" to the opposite side. Maybe I can also imagine the bottom of the steering wheel turning is the same direction as the back of the trailer. If the bottom of the steering wheel turns to the right, the trailer goes right. If the bottom of the steering wheel turns left, the trailer goes left.
@@Mr-E. I wish you luck. Always find ways that make it easier on you. I hope it helps you.
I needed this video awesome thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for making this video. Very easy to understand. Much easier than had been explained to me in the past
The key point here is you don’t want to be running into anything.
good idea maybe I shouldn't be yeeting into trailers left and right
I get jazzed when knowledge is paired with great skill. 👍🏾
