This is gold !! I am in school and overshot almost identical to this example. I however turned right and pulled up thinking I would be able to cut harder. All I ended up doing was moving forward and back without any beneficial change. Watching this just ignited the light💡!! I can’t wait to use this !! Big thanks to you for all of your work!!! I subscribed after watching 1 of your videos and I share them with my classmates.
I just parked between two trucks in a tight pilot, having watched this video a week or so ago. I don't think I could have done it nearly as well or quickly without remembering what you said to do, regarding pulling forward to the left when overshooting. Exactly how your described, though I did get out and double check 3 times. Just wanted to say thanks for the well made and explained video.
I wanted to say to you, your videos were extremely helpful to me when I started. I watched them many tines and I'm not sure that I would have made it without our help. Just so tou know, your work is very beneficial to many
my attempt to back up into a spot straight would look like the trailers in the bottom right! Damn your good. We should all support this channel by going to his website and chipping in a few dollars or more if you have it. A lot of work has gone into each one and these are the most informative on UA-cam. Watching other channels you find yourself asking, " okay but where is the drone footage!"
these awesome videos was exactly what I was looking for I love the drone footage !nobody does all the camera angles like you do thank you so much ! do you have any videos on parallel parking or offset and alley dock? I'm trying to get my cdl.
Remember this one, I can't tell you how many times I've used this one, makes you look like a pro at the truck stops, especially when you get it in after correcting with no pull ups..
What do you mean stick it where you can still see the mirror? If I'm out of the truck seeing the mirror is easy. Is it possible to give us a measurement of where the point is that we would visually loose the indicator of choice? Or perhaps it would be too difficult seeing that it depends on the make and model of the truck. Sorry to be asking for precise parameters. I would definitely love to add this warning to my Peterbilt. Cheers. Great channel. Thanks for sharing the knowledge
Can I ask you a couple questions. Was any of that confusing? Meaning, was I giving you took much information, was I taking too fast? Did you think it was simulator, lots of people thinks it's not real.
@@MyTruckingSkills I thought your video was clear to understand & paced very well. As a nerd, I can tell that you're using a drone for the overhead shot, older people/drivers might not pick up on that. I've been driving for a little over 2 years now and I still struggle a bit with backing, Specifically backing between trucks. It doesn't help that most of my experience is from driving tanker and flatbed. I'm starting a new job working at a port and it's my understanding I will be backing all the time. Your video is spot on what I've been needing to see for years. As for people not believing its real...It may help to make known what tools you're using to make this video. At first glance, it does look like a simulator but looking closer, the time and quality that goes into these videos are unrivaled so people assume it's not real.
OK, I can put in the caption that this is not a simulator. I like to think that my videos are above and beyond the other channels that teach trucking. I've given these videos a lot of thought. and it pisses me off when i see really crap videos get 100's of 1000's of views. Thanks for the input.
I just watched that video like 6 times, and it's fine. You need to remember that the steering wheel does not control the trailer, the steering wheel only controls the truck. It's the angle of the truck and trailer that determines steering.
You end up losing too much air and then your truck starts to beep at you saying you are low on air. Just try to brake less, don't go fast, just go faster.....just as little bit. You drive an automatic ya?
so you jackknife pulling forward to the left, but when you back up do you keep the steering wheel to the left , do you straighten it or you steer to the right?? thanks
If you keep the steering wheel to the left when you back up you will be in the exact same place as you started. So anything other that to the left is what you do. If you only overshot the space by a little bit, point the steering wheel straight for a couple of feet then back to the left when backing
How can this help me? My trailer is 28ft and distance is further away from the docking area and I'm on gravel? Do you have any video's that explains why do you apply what your Appling and what to look for! Thanks
@@richardbaird7098 Well truth of the matter is the teacher I've found is myself experiencing everything first hand. By the way, this was well over 2yrs ago almost 3 years now and I've been everywhere operated all types of equipment, and have done every maneuver safe and some unsafe Lol but still never had an accident to this day. Guess my best advice for me was self-taught developed understanding having tolerance and common sense.
@@KozmikEl7 Yeah experience is definitely the best way to learn. But several times in the beginning of my career I came upon new backing situations that I was ready for because I studied these videos repeatedly. My only beef was the guys so good that he one times a 90 and is like, "there you go." When the rest of us are over correcting, under shooting, and all the other ways of boning a good set up. That's why I enjoyed this video so much:)
@@MyTruckingSkills my dad worked at the branch in brooks Oregon then started his own company they are a great company his truck broke down they bought him a hotel for a few nights.
Someone needs to make these videos but for spread axle trailers. They just don't behave the same way! You can't jacknife them with a load on them otherwise you risk damaging the trailer or even flipping it... and they turn different haha
@@MyTruckingSkills yes tomorrow am at 8h30....fingers crossed...i am nervous about backing. I been there all day today watching others taking test. Guys who back like a pro at school yard couldn't back n failed....
+smallweights is there anything you think I could change that would make these videos better? Maybe I talk too much or something? More or less graphics?
maybe swap one of the views so its in cab showing the steering in the round circle like ya do at the moment and how much input moves the trailer, so ya have the other cam pointing at the corner of the trailer - does that make sense??? so it shows sorta what ya see as a driver, to be honest as the vids are they are very good!!! but I've been driving rigid trucks 5 years so i have some understanding - where as a newbie is clueless!!! one thing that sounds really obvious but is difficult to take on board when ya new is other than keeping an eye out for space for the cab to turn and move, what the cab does is irrelevant, you use the steering wheel to steer the trailer, and need to keep a watch on it at maybe 98% of the time but keep glancing in the other mirror and out the front screen to be aware of space for the cab to turn is the 2% sorta thing, but as a newbie, i never understood that so my eyes were trying to watch everything and that makes it confusing, i think the way ya vids are with the drone view and mirror views are really good, as there is so much info to get across for a simple manoeuvre, even though ya may have to watch the vid more than once, i think they are bang on!!!
so instead of just the steering wheel, having the a camera looking at me and the steering wheel, that way people know what I'm looking at and when I'm looking at it?
What about under shooting a spot? You make it look so easy... Oh Crap ! I'm worried about hitting mirrors and taking off hoods in the dark, ahhh @#%*! I don't what to be a Wrecking Ball.. What's the trick on backing at Truck Stops?..
"GOAL".Ask for help. There is not one trucker who will not spot for you...especially the driver you are parking next to lol. If you under shoot you need to start again.
First of all, in the real world you're not legal to have your tandems that far ahead, not in Canada. To be practical, even in the USA, to get into that tight of a space, put your tandems all the way back. Otherwise you have too much over-swing. You're too close on your approach too. You also have a perfectly good parking place with more space. In the real world, I always pick the easiest slot. Hth
this was just a tip for people who over shoot sometimes and this was a quick way to correct it. presuming you have the room to pull forward. why dont you watch my other videos and you'll see what im trying to teach people. oh, and its very rare that i will see someone sliding their axles all the way to the rear when they are in a truck stop to back up into a tight space. in general, people are lazy, they will do the minimum amount of work to get it into a space. I'm trying to teach people who are probably not going to. i agree that sliding you trl axles will make it safer. but why teach something that nobody will do.
David Crowley Trucking.. bro..the video u post as a tutorial is not necessarily trucking itself..it's an educationally tool posted to teach.. not to confuse..all I'm saying is better editing on the videos
+Mac Jonson...this video has 242 likes, one dislike, who besides you am I confusing? I want to help everyone, I just don't know how they are confusing. I take input from all, what can I do to make it less confusing for you? All my backing videos are like this one, people seem to like them and learn from them.
This is gold !! I am in school and overshot almost identical to this example.

Big thanks to you for all of your work!!!
I subscribed after watching 1 of your videos and I share them with my classmates.
Your videos should be part of CDL schools practice vids online good job
100 000$
compcast couldn’t agree more !!!
For sure , most of these school do not fucken know how to explain shit .

Well done, and well said to you both. DD & DC
How many feet from the front of the trailer is the GOAL word shown as not all trailers have a marker to go on
I wanted to say to you, your videos were extremely helpful to me when I started. I watched them many tines and I'm not sure that I would have made it without our help. Just so tou know, your work is very beneficial to many
Wow, that is so nice of you to say. It means so much me!!
Your videos are bar none the best Trucking videos on UA-cam. Superior tricks and tips.

Thx man!!
I dont comment on videos often but I can tell you put alot of work into all the camera angles and this video is amazing 👌
The game is available in the PC version, you can find it on my website, *mytruckingskills.com/the-game/*
I love how visual your videos are. Seeing these views really is helping me
Glad I can help the masses!
The best videos ever I seen with the best explanations. Big thank you for your hard work and all the best.
Hi David....i pass my rd test today. Your videos are very informative. Great job . Thanks alot...
Good tip. Got a delivery at a place like this with trucks and trailers parked across.
You do one of the best video yet thanks !!
You are the man, so much ability that you have.
Awesome video, thanks a lot, I already suscribed.
these awesome videos was exactly what I was looking for I love the drone footage !nobody does all the camera angles like you do thank you so much ! do you have any videos on parallel parking or offset and alley dock? I'm trying to get my cdl.
Check out my channel, you will be pleasantly surprised!!!
Spent 4 years being pampered by a dedicated. Switching routes so this really helps.
Excellent tutorial!
Amazing skills all schools need use them
Tried your method. Worked very well. Thanks
idk how you do this... but these are amazing bro.. keep them coming.
Lots of cameras and lots of editing!!
Awesome video. You should make one showing us newbies how you do your trip planning.
Had trouble backing today in school. Then again today was the first day we practiced this.
Best instructional vids. Thx
Remember this one, I can't tell you how many times I've used this one, makes you look like a pro at the truck stops, especially when you get it in after correcting with no pull ups..
Great video brother, thank you.
Really valuable tip here David, thanks bro 👍
Can you fix it if you undershoot it . That’s my problem I am having with tandems foward. Thanks for what all you do sir .
You are a boss!
Superb 👌 very important video 📹 👏 👌 👍
This is what I needed. Thanks!
+Melvin Ryant you're welcome Sir
Excellent tip! David thx a bunch 👏
You make it look sooooooooooo easy.
Excellent, thank you
Hello , do you have a video on how to correct if you undershot your 90? Almost hitting on the left
Can you do a video how to fix overshooting if you don’t have space in the front side
Good stuff as always
say you are coming around a bend, and cant be straight, how do you set up to get in
At 1:00; after the hard left you straighten the wheel and went back to?
This is a very useful video... Thanks
AWESOME!!!!!!
you are best man thank you
See I guess I have the wrong idea because when he over shooted, my first thought would be to turn right and pull up. Instead he did a hard left.
What about when you get too close to the trailer on the left
could you show us a video on how to park a 20ft trailer. I feel like it is much harder because it reacts faster
Ya, a 20 foot trailer is quite difficult alright. I'll work on that.
What happens when under shoot it
Nice video ✌🏻
Thanks ❤️
Great video Thanks again
Good video thank you
Am looking for trucking skills chips at GameStop for my ninetendo switch ,They say they don’t have it
It's only on iOS Android and for the PC at mytruckinggames.com
This super kool thanks
What if you don't have any room in the front
In this situation why wouldn't a pullup correct the overshoot??
Hello there. Where do you have that sticker “GOAL” like when counting those dots how many do you pass.
But your truck into a hard jackknife, 90 degrees, stop the truck, get out and put a sticker right there where you can still see the mirror.
@@MyTruckingSkills I thank you sir very much. Your videos are always very helpful. Keep up the good work sir. And may god bless you

Watching the steering wheel, you did pull forward steering wheel to the hard left but then you did a hard right, is that correct?
I just watched that video like 6 times, and it's fine. You need to remember that the steering wheel does not control the trailer, the steering wheel only controls the truck. It's the angle of the truck and trailer that determines steering.
I have been told that when backing I am brakeing to much how does over brakeing affect my results when backing down up
You end up losing too much air and then your truck starts to beep at you saying you are low on air. Just try to brake less, don't go fast, just go faster.....just as little bit. You drive an automatic ya?
I think this is my problem I get to close to the trailer I can see next time i will overshoot turn to the left to Create more angle
This was a helpful.
so you jackknife pulling forward to the left, but when you back up do you keep the steering wheel to the left , do you straighten it or you steer to the right?? thanks

Do a video with u at a tight truck stop
Good video thanks
Do u work for may? Or just pull their trailers?
I work for May, but as a casual driver now. I focusing on my videos, website and game.
@@MyTruckingSkills my dad worked at the branch in brooks Oregon then started his own company they are a great company his truck broke down they bought him a hotel for a few nights.
I like them a lot, I found it hard to to quit and work for another company due to them giving me anything I wanted when I came to hours works.
Someone needs to make these videos but for spread axle trailers. They just don't behave the same way! You can't jacknife them with a load on them otherwise you risk damaging the trailer or even flipping it... and they turn different haha
That would be nice if someone would make those videos, I dont have a spread axle so it wont be me
When u over shoot ,you said pull forward to the left, is it hard left?
Hard left for a few feet going forward, the hard right in reverse making not to jknife too much and then back to the left.
It's very easy to do too much of a jknife, if you do just pull forward hard to the right to straight the trk and trl
Your test is tomorrow ya?
Thanks got it...hard left. Tomorrow am is my rd test. Fingers crossed....nice video. Thanks
@@MyTruckingSkills yes tomorrow am at 8h30....fingers crossed...i am nervous about backing. I been there all day today watching others taking test. Guys who back like a pro at school yard couldn't back n failed....
