      glad to here that!! remember to take down the curtain in the sleeper on the pass side of the truck if you are going to do a blind side back. it was a god send for me. helps too when you are taking a tight right hand turn and making sure you clear the pole of curb

    I’m a 3 month driver now, and the way you present your videos, the angles, that’s how my mind works. And to be able to see this visual with me trying to figure it out all mentally has really helped my confidence and skill, thank you

    I’m back to hauling 53’s after pulling 28’s, I passed my road test but the backing alley got me nervous af, took me about 20 minutes to do, I didn’t hit anything and passed.
    Looking at this videos makes me feel more comfortable into backing 53’s again

    I don’t think you understand how much that one little comment helped me, “pull right to have a harder jackknife, if you overshoot” man that is crazy you have saved me like 4 pull-ups looking like a rookie. Thank you so much, I never realized it was that easy.

    I done my first blindside back tonight and thank God I watch your videos!🤣🤣 I aced it and got a compliment a guy told me that I must have a couple years experience because they usually dread seeing May trucks because they take atleast 45 mins.🤣 and that's coming from a yard dog. Made my day. Lol

    Probably the best tutorial I have seen put together. All the reference angles and lines is great. As with many others I am pretty much self taught but I am always looking for ways to get better. The way you showed reference points was very helpful. Really appreciate all the work you put into this.

    @jacquesdutron9954 2 роки тому

    Thx for your efforts, however, this is the worse way to do blind side. The best way is to make sure you have enough space. Right after passing one trailer, you make a hard left. That will allow you to position yourself in a way, so you can just do a straight line backing into the space. Thx

    • @skydivingisfun
      @skydivingisfun 5 років тому

      @@MyTruckingSkills that it does. 3+ years of driving never thought of that window. For tight right hand I either button hook snd/or jug handle if needed. I actually have done goal on a tight right hand lol. Worst back was the pilot on state highway 140?(I think) outside memphis tn. 90 degree blind side into a slanted spot with maybe 4 inches on either side of trailer and almost no room upfront.

    • @MyTruckingSkills
      @MyTruckingSkills  5 років тому +2

      It took me 12 years before I discovered that window. I used normally have the curtain closed but one day I had it open and when I was making a tight turn out of a dock I happened to look over my shoulder, and low and behold I could see the trailer and the truck next to me!!! Mind blown!!!

    In my 18 months or so of driving I've done maybe a dozen blindsides because that was the only option available. Yes I'd do a dozen or so GOALS. I've had some get impatient and start honking because I'm creeping along several feet at a time. And I've had others help ground guide. Pucker factor was a 10 but I've not hit shit yet.(knock on wood). There's the super trucks that it's all about them, but there are quite a bit who will help ground guide which is decent of them. They may break my balls a bit while helping but thats fine by me. I thank them and go about my business.

      I drove for about 3 years and I think I’ve done one blindside, and I did another just because I wasn’t sure I could go down the road to turn around and decided to try it.
      40 minutes later I decided to check out Google maps and found a place to just turn around lol
