An idea...i worked as a warehouse yard hustler backing trailers on dock and moving full/empty ones to the yard. No cdl need, after a month. I went to a driving school and rented a truck and did a road and got my CDL in one day. Heck I was backing up better than the cdl instructor at that school. Or any driver I saw at the busy yard I used to work at. Some cdl drivers used to ask me to pull and back their trailer. I be like nah keep trying. No I got my CDL, I'm very confident in back and manoeuvring in any state or city. Yard dogs is the best school than any school out there and the pay is good
Seams, Lines etc. What about in places where there are no seems and/or lines to use? This is really only practical for school house driving. Companies like Owen Corning just have massive blacktop loading areas with no lines or seams. I've watched countless drivers try to back into docks (despite the amount of room available) and they struggle to even back strait up. I want to see more driving schools offer backing into docks that are only 103" wide with a 96" or 101" wide trailer.
David Cascaddan dude we get with trainers for a month over the road. Pretty sure we’re set. I’m at the school right now doing great! Our on the job trainers will run us through that. Or is common sense not as common for you?
once you're set up to parallel park (11:20), you then steer hard left, but wouldn't you be hitting the truck on the passenger side as you're turning (11:28)?
Great video! I was taught to look for the v as well. I take my test this Tuesday. I hope I pass. Thank you again for this video I learned some last minute tips! 🙂
sorry, i dont know exactly what is the chip in the landing gear? Is the chip foot of landing gear .but i like this video so much it good for me.Thank you so much.
Koool Man the seams represent the lines at a shipper. Carry the line straight out and that would be your seams in real life. What part are you confused with. And where the cones are are representing where the other trucks are at or your lines.
@UC5eQ5Gt2bgptHYqQkqXyl3w I have no idea what chip or pzzia slice is but I like that you had step by step instruction with REFERENCE PTS. thanks so much for that. I notice though not one video ever does this kind of detail with alley dock, not one and I seen too many to count with no luck.
The captions are a joke. Does this person understand English? What the hell is a chip in the landing gear?? A chip refers to a piece that is broken on a cup, glass, plate, etc. Parallel means they are side by side. I think the person meant when the tractor and trailer are in line with one another.
First of all no one told you you had to watch this. Secondly you are very rude to remotely think he doesn’t understand English. This wasn’t meant for you it was for a class learning to get their cdl. So before you criticize this show me your video
That's not what he meant at all. Notice how he said, "pizza slice" to describe how your turn should look? It's the same thing, except Chip means a smaller pizza slice. It's more Jargon than anything. Ya know, like restaurant jargon, when order is 86'd. A chip could also refer to food. Tortilla chip, for example. Dang lil boi, she owned you, lmao. Think the comment got deleted, but she was right. You were unnecessarily rude.
I'm confused about the part that says Landing gear parallel to the drive wheel, wheen offset parking. How can it be "parallel" if it's at a angle? Can someone explain
alonzo weaver landing gear is straight up and down and your drive tires the sidewall are straight up and down or parallel. And you are looking for the very inside tip of the landing gear foot pad.
AMADEO MURILLO yes it 12 ft apart yellow line to yellow line 100 ft long on straight line and 40 ft to back up into offset parking then with parallel it’s15 ft longer then the truck Watch Knight trans Squire skills video that will help you out Good luck and thank you
Would he nice to also know which way the steering wheel is turning....full 2 turns? Turn the wheel all the way to right? Left? Still a good video though.
@@edgarmartinez963 parallel parking is a truck in front and a truck behind. You are putting your truck in the middle. The cones in the front is a line on the parking lot or street. Cones on the side could be a curb use your imagination. As I said this was made for a school on their pad to pass the commerical drivers License skills test
I seem to can’t grasp the parallel parking to the blind side. Sometimes I’m perfect, and others I’m too close to either lanes on the side. What can you suggest I do, to line my self up for a good way to get in the box?
Andre Barrett it’s all about the set up from the first turn. But at the end the trailer is going out of the box to the drivers side that means you going back to far on the SAD that little straight back and if it going towards the wall then your not going in far enough. Remember you must be about 2 1/2 - 3 ft from the back of the trailer to the yellow line . Hope this helped thank you for watching
joe harrop on the 2 1/2-3 ft, is that from the far right line, or the line that you’re backing straight to? Thanks by the way, I’m definitely gonna apply these on my next run.
Is this trailer a 53ft or 48ft . Am asking cos I used a day cab with a 53ft trailer to try this out on d offset I waited until I saw d chip of the landing gear but it took me completely off . But wen I tried it on a sleeper cab with a 48ft trailer it seems jus perfect . So I kind of wanted to know if the size of the trailer determines how far u should go on d landing gear or the type of truck .
Yeah, I did this a while back ago, and I was so bad. I don't understand how they had the patience to teach us. Driving is easy, backing up is what's more difficult
Here in Oklahoma it would of been two points for encroachment especially 3 feet ..here we usually do 4 foot of the cone and yet to dps that seems to close for there likings here ..
This is great instruction for THIS SPECIFIC course just to help pass a student. NOT good for real life. Students need to learn the proper way to back into ANY parallel parking and ANY offset situation. This video using all the Cracks an seems and what not is just for this course. BAD THING for teaching new students. What are they to do in REAL life? Teach all the proper skills THAT DO IN FACT EXIST for any and all spots. Not just this course or you put DANGEROUSLY under taught drivers on the road.
If that is all you are looking for is seams and cracks on this video you are not getting the big picture. The students are learning to maneuver the tractor trailer in turns and handle their tractor by learning that when you turn a certain way the trailer reacts differently than what it would be in a car. Actions and reactions are part of these skills.
That is why you have an additional 4 to 6 weeks on the road with a driver trainer. I drove in Chicago for 12 years and guess what both the offset and parallel skills were used on a weekly basis. There are some awesome docks in Chicago and on lower Wacker drive that you need to know these skills for.
It should be taught correct from the get go. YOU CAN NOT depend on the driver trainer. I've heard TONS of horror stories on many who do as little as possible to earn there extra pay. the fact they are used so much is EXACTLY my point. So teach them correctly. Not just to pass a local DMV test.
@@Rescue3EMS You've HEARD,eh? I get where you are coming from, but unless you drive, don't be critical just yet. Oh, btw in the context you were aiming for would be "their". "There" is referring to a place, "Their" is for people, and "They're" is short for "They are." (Since you think correcting people is nice, I thought I'd help you in return.)
For your info. I do drive. Why would you assume based off that one sentence I do not? That is a bad habit little internet troll. My correction still stands as it is good advice. Your's is nothing more than what "appears" to be a troll who likes to feel big about one self. Since you are one of the self proclaimed internet English Police. Thank goodness I don;t take offence lol. Considering I had past severe brain trauma and was told I would die then live. Then was told I could never go back to college. Yet did so with a 3.82 avg over the next 3 years then scoring the highest score in the state on final. I think my spelling and use of linguistic structure is okay considering what I've been through. The occasional slip up in spelling considering 12% loss of previously active brain that is now covered by an area of the brain not meant for it's use as it is being used, is fine with me. Some of us mere mortals have issues. Sorry oh great one for your issue with not being able to be told the truth without your feelings being hurt. Then needing sarcastic rebuke to make you feel like a big boy lol. I'm glad your stellar spelling abilities and understanding of language gives you great comfort. Most humans of any worth know there is a great deal more to life. Like trying to save lives by teaching how to drive correctly and safely! I would not have to rescue so many people from car accidents if more people knew how to drive!
Jeffery J. Herrera you will see it in both the mirrors it will stand out in the long mirror more the top rail will disappear from the bottom of the trailer and the spot you see the tip of the pizza I hope that helped
This helped a whole lot I take my EXAM tomorrow!!!! I’m confident more than what I was before !!!!!!

"Yard hustler" and "yard dog"
Im gonna have to start calling myself that. I love it.
Well go for you...stay humble tho...
Hellooo, did you practice yourself for the pre trip inspection too?
Well it would be nice if you mentioned how far to turn the steer wheels in step 1 BEFORE you begin backing

Great video folks. Keep watching them. It helped me greatly !
All videos were made with one intention , to make sure we are able to pass our test
Seeing the "chip" in landing gear? what might that be? thanks
Yes wat does the chip mean
The chip is the smaller pizza slice, like a tortilla chip.
John Bearden yes that’s right thx
sorry, i dont know exactly what is the chip in the landing gear? Is the chip foot of landing gear .but i like this video so much it good for me.Thank you so much.
And Do any landing gear of trailer have same position?
This is one of the best Video I have seen, very clear and shows the steps in slow motion almost. Thanks again.
Debra Calhoun this video is the best for real!
Debra Calhoun
Good fir practice but real life backing is completely different , you won’t find the reference points on real docks like shown in video
Koool Man the seams represent the lines at a shipper. Carry the line straight out and that would be your seams in real life. What part are you confused with. And where the cones are are representing where the other trucks are at or your lines.
@@marieharrop4066 NOT ALL SHIPPERS HAVE SEAM LINES. TOTALLY NOT FOR REAL LIFE SITUATIONS. WAY OVER ANALYZED!!!
I'll make sure to bring my own seams to the exam.
John Bearden make sure you bring your dress with the tight seam. Lol
Hey John ! Just put your hands behind and there is the biggest seem😂
@Michael Minkley I'm assuming the triangle in the landing gear?
@@BRENMARC seam
@Michael Minkley not really because the seam is at the edge of the space you'd be parking in.
For new drivers, it would be helpful to define industry specific terms such as "chip" and "pizza slice'.
I don’t know how to drive but I like watching this videos maybe same day I learn 😎
I doubt you might learn the same day
I ALWAYS tilt my mirrors accordingly when Blind Side Backing!!!

Suspect súper ESPECTACULAR
NYC don't give you this much space they make it very tight....
What do you mean by the chip in the landing gear?
The chip is just a smaller pizza slice, like tortilla chip.
which is the official distance from red cones to each side of the truck...Anybody answer that to me
AMADEO MURILLO yes it 12 ft apart yellow line to yellow line 100 ft long on straight line and 40 ft to back up into offset parking then with parallel it’s15 ft longer then the truck
Watch Knight trans Squire skills video that will help you out Good luck and thank you
@@Suddenrush2112 ....thank you
Would he nice to also know which way the steering wheel is turning....full 2 turns? Turn the wheel all the way to right? Left? Still a good video though.
Driver tire in front of the cone ?... If no have cone ??
Line up of seam ? If there are another truck ... It's too close !!!
It’s not to close. This video is to pass a cdl test at a school in AZ. Shows you how to do it.
@@marieharrop4066 I mean, if you are parking in between the trucks, in the first hard left, pass the space for your truck in the right side !!!

Line up with the seam, out in the real world there aren't any seams to line up with and or at all driving schools...
Use imaginary objects just like man and woman use toys to pleasure themselves 👉👌🤣
Thanks So Much, You Show Very Details. I Hope In The Future You Will Make More Videos. Thanks Have A Good Day
Great video, helps to see the different angles :-)
You only have 9 minutes to do this in test..just saying
Super super beautifully yeah good Splication
Thank you! Hope it helps you
My questions why u make the video so tied so we can not see what’s going on the same side?
What is the chip in landing gear?

pizza slice?
