Wow it looks easy here lol. I can't even drive these trailers in the Truck Simulator game with the 3rd person camera 😂 love watching truckers back into tricky spots. Mad respect!
because it is easy. learn the fundamentals first and its simple. once you understand where the trailer needs to be positioned before reversing and how the first trailer turns the second trailer and how the cab turns the first trailer. see how he pulled up paralell to the loading dock and when his first wheel of his last trailers tri axel was even with it. thats when he started to lock and reverse.
You have clearly done this once or twice before, I'm officially impressed. I drive a regular truck with the same kind of trailer as your B trailer, and only two axles in the dolly. I would never have been able to do it that easily with a B-Double.
Nice work 👌 Slow, steady, precise... The short cabover certainly helps too 😊 Doing the same thing over and over in the same yards helps, but making it an artform is something that not many can do ! Its nice to see operators taking pride in their abilities 😊 From another fellow b double operator of 25 years from general freight to tippers, Well done mate 👏
Nice work! Back when B Doubles were first introduced, they said "You'll always have to un-couple them to reverse!" Well, skilled drivers proved that wrong pretty quickly. In defense of the people saying, it back then you had little short B trailers that did make it a bit trickier. Still, really impressive work.
It's really not that hard. Obviously takes some skill. I drive for ups and I'm able to back up a double but our sets have a dolly in between do there's 3 different shift points while he only has 2. Huge difference in difficulty
@Len_M. That doesnt work when trying to go around corners, thats only for straight lines. Easiest way i learnt was to make the A trailer do what the prime mover does in a normal reverse and dont think about the truck
I can back a single 18 wheeler up without pulling forward, but I've never tried it with two and certainly not three as some of the shots seems to indicate. Amazing. I requires a natural ability of interpreting spatial relations.
3? Only Australia has something like that, -- and more. B-double / 2 trailers / semi's in this configuration doesn't take long to ~if not master, atleast do comfortably. Only a bit harder than a single semi. I'd say - difficulty wice, it's in the middle of single semi, and backing up a single drawbar trailer where the front axle turns on its own. ( I chose to take my certificate - driving license with drawbar trailer, instead of semi. Much easier to connect and dismount than a Semi, but much harder to reverse with and park. Don't know about in the US, but in Norway its an option, what configuration you want to drive on your "big day".)
We’ll done fella I can put a five axle dog anywhere but had a go at backing up a B double a couple of weeks back whole different ball game that was an impressive job especially coming at 90 degrees I hope they’re looking after you well to keep you on
lol thats how you reverse them. how he pulled up paralell to the loading dock and when his first wheel of his last trailers tri axel was even with it. thats when he started to lock and reverse.
I do some wknd change overs most of the time we don't get to reverse our double trailers onto the dock its left for the tug operator,for us its,uncouple and couple up to the next set and get going again but, if time permits I usually put my trailers onto the dock so I can improve my reversing skills I've only been driving doubles for 18mnths and drive every second wknd,im in a excavator during the week,im know where near your level of revesing skill but one day hopefully...nice work(skills) 👍👌
No muckin around luv it mate👍🏻, im a forkie n seriously some drivers i see come into our yard can take no joke 10-15mins to back a double into the docks, always good to watch a pro bang it straight in first go
Brilliant skill there 👍🏻. I drive for Aldi in the UK and the reverses onto the bays at stores are ridiculous. They're mostly in busy car parks and often have to be done at dodgy angles on the blindside 🤦🏻♂️
I don't drive for Aldi anymore but I do remember we had a few of those, there were some funny ones, usually in older/existing buildings or large shopping centres. Freestanding designed stores typically were ok. Had a workmate there from London actually, told me all about it. Not a place I envy to drive I think, In particular those narrow rural roads where trucks basically have to stop to pass eachother.
I was at a Toll depot in Adelaide a few weeks ago and he said he saw a beginner and offered to reverse his truck for $20 and that’s cheap apparently haha. Going for my MC Easter Monday. Cannot wait for the journey!
I've been running a shunt last 2 years. Only had to put singles on dock. Love the truck and dog. Spent many an hour tipping into bins in concrete plants. Not a problem. This combination. Yeah nah.
@@vigbrastle update, I got it. Had to reverse 100m straight back and parallel to a line. I’m driving semi’s now. Every now and then doubles but i don’t have to do any of this finger dock stuff haha
@@willnewing4240right on cobba do your time in hc. So many doods wanna go straight to mc with little to no experience. Do your time and become an asset.
Last time I drove I backed over the curb on the side of the dock and had to correct. That was with one trailer, and truck with way better visibility, in a wide open space. Homie just made me feel less then an inch tall lol 😂😂😅
require so much feel for the distance and perception, like he said, inyour head, totally. i was barely a classe 3 garbage truck driver and yea i got the feel for my truck just nice
There are some people who catch on quick and can do this easily every time and will be able to forever….I am not one of those people lol. I have and can back up B-trains but for me it’s something I have to do consistently to remain good at it. When I go months without driving the trains my reverse skills diminish quickly lol That was impressive no doubt. It’s most impressive when there are trailers in docks on both sides of the one you need. I will admit when I encounter this, I split them lol
@@vigbrastle Some people just have a knack for it. Like I said I can do it but it’s something I have to do consistently to be good at it. When I go months without hauling trains I have difficulty getting it done easily. I’ve never been good enough to think about making the attempt with trailers on both sides of the dock I needed. I have worked with at least one guy who could. That takes a special skill. I think any truck driver could get the hang of it with some practice
@@jerryvandyke9216 I wish l could, I'm too old and disabled now, and getting over a triple bypass , But like the blokes before me , they would also say l had it too easy.
I'm well aware of how hauling doubble's work when utilzing pups. And how they can be broke down, and backed up to a dock independently of one another. I've seen the design of the b doubble's and wonder as to how does one after docking the last wagon, and disconnect from the front wagon. Does the front wagon fit into a dock with the fifth wheel for the second trailer being where it is.
@@vigbrastle ok cool thanks for that. Thinking about stepping up to MC from HC , have another company I have as my first choice but they might not take me on due to ability (never reversed a B- double into a spot) I reckon I could though. Guess we’ll see
Ah good luck with that. If not already, learn how to do truckers hitch before going for lessons. Otherwise you'll have to waste time on it like I did. And nah I'm not Japanese but have a Japanese partner, and have been learning it for years/ do much activity online in Japanese so tend to provide translations for what I can.
We would unload ourselves yes, but I liked it as there'd be no waiting for anyone and I'd get exercise. Then would immediately drive back with only empty pallets/ return stock etc on board.
@@vigbrastle Aldi in the UK is a pain . You unload yourself in like 30 mins .. then have to park up & wait hours for it to be checked & signed for. I have no problem tipping my own truck . Its good as it is a nice feeling getting another load off the back .. then giving your planner some shit to get reloaded lol. Its the waiting for the paperwork that pisses me off ... Ohh and in these places there is always some dickhead in head to toe hi viz with a clipboard & hard hat .. whos entire mission in life is to wind you up.
@@smudgealdrin1512 Wow that sounds ridiculous！Makes me wonder why they don't seal tag the back door and make it not your problem if something is a miss. Sure hope you get paid those 5 hours waiting though
@@vigbrastle Most UK drivers are paid by the hour .. There are some who dont mind sitting around all day .. but most have somewhere else to go or wanna get home. A lot of single loads from big customers are sealed .. but it dont mean jack .
i can do this in my sleep... but not when i'm awake. nice skills!!

no one said that ever unless they didnt know. its designed like that by default knowing full well it could be done...
Bloody hell mate. I can drive a semi trailer but I wouldn't even know where to start backing up one of these bastards. Nice job, very impressed.
It's opposite to a Single, turn the Wheel the direction you want the rear Trailer to go.
It's really not that hard. Obviously takes some skill. I drive for ups and I'm able to back up a double but our sets have a dolly in between do there's 3 different shift points while he only has 2. Huge difference in difficulty

Holy shit and here's me who can hardly do it with a 4 metre trailer, lol. Mucho respect to anyone who can do things I can't.
Small trailers are actually harder in a way. They turn too sharp for you to be able to correct it in time with your vehicle.
probably this would take my whole day
Several days, day by day inch by inch 8 hours a day.
I didn't know this was possible i thought they disconnect the trailers and backed them up individually
That was amazing... I've never hauled a double before but I would sure love to learn...awesome
Этот B-train здаёт задним ходом также как и обычный full trainer только разница в длинне.
Heck I thought you had on the first shot. Amazing
WOW! YOu can't even see what is behind the last trailer and still you manage to put it right on the dot!
You just put every American truck driver to shame God damn
What a boss.. And i struggle in American truck sim with one trailer lol

Prestons ALDI was even more difficult. We had the shed and the mechanics at the front of the docks were doubles parked.

Amazing how many forkies are experts in backing them never holding anything other then a car licence eh?...btw was a forkie before my balls dropped
Who gives a shit if they take 10-15 mins if you’re a forkie commenting on it then your opinion is invalid
@@johnconley3218 Haaa
Experience doesn’t come in one day takes a lot of time sometime and backing in a b double surly is not as easy as this guy does good one you mate

His skills are not the backing up part but the positioning of the last hitch while pulling in 👍
Good clearance and visibility
Done a brilliant job mate! I’m going for Mc license soon, made my own b double toy to play around with to gather the concept of reversing haha
Ah good luck! When getting MC license you only have to reverse in a straight line. Anything more complicated will be learning on the job.

Need those types of doubles in the America, that’s simple.
nice mate well done slow and steady wins the race
I back 5R8 low loaders into a tight work shop but I'd love to have the chance to try what you do one day
We used to say when someone was trying it for the first time if they get it in before the auto clutch starts to burn up they're doing well.
Hello to my old friend ! We got lots of new drivers, Ned is still there😏
Bloody Hells Bells, if I tried that it would end up looking like a granny knot. Deepest respect from an old man in the uk. 😎 👍
Unbelievably skilled! 👌

Fuck that, bad enough trying to reverse a single trailer on a good day. These drivers have top reversing skills.
I'm like yeah right and I'm shock and amaze major skills
next level...

This is what's called in America "Piggy backing" trailers. Hauling one trailer behind another on the back of the cab.
What if the yard was cramed would you be able to make the moves...?
Awesome work Aldi driver
Try that with a set that has a dolly
Some people got what it takes truly
nice work, greetins from aldi germany :-)))))))))
Focus on the dolly wheels angle and use the whole rig as your front steering axle... .. and a lot of practice for sure

There's a lever on the side connected to an electric motor which rolls the box back on a rail.
Awesome display of skill & ability, was that at Minchinbury warehouse in Sydney ?
Indeed it was
Is this at Minchinbury? If it is then this was taken way before 2017 as Rand do not use Iveco Prime movers anymore and there is a Rand truck on dock
Video timestamp says 2013.
Awesome driving!
U got the centre axle combine with front trailer so it's possible to reverse..
?
yea no dolly thing in the middle
