    I’m in school right now they never told me that the problem is if you see to much on the trailer turn towards that way they just said chase the problem and I thought I’d turn towards the side that I didn’t see the trailer that should help me out so much!! Gonna give it a try thank you!

    I am a new truck driver , just got my license at age 50. I did a total career change from floral designer for huge event companies to truck driver . I find really hard with trainers at the school and companies is that everyone teaches you so many way to drive . It’s all confusing at times . I find worth your videos I can reprogram my brain, absorb more information in a clear way. I just kind of lost the intimidation part of driving a 53 footer , so now I can concentrate more on parking . Thank you for the videos .

    The aerial view is the most helpful here. Being able to see the wheel position, truck position. Even though I have a pickup and 18' trailer this is still an excellent tool. All other videos on backing up any trailer is from the point-of-view of driver's seat or someone outside the truck. "turn the wheel" means zero if you cant see which way. Much appreciation! Thanks.

    YES! I like the new format with the steering and wheel movements combined with how their movements are affecting the tractor and trailer. Excellent. I've been in trucking school for a month or so and one thing I think many new students struggle with is the fact that any direction change one wants to make must first start with straightening the rig by chasing the trailer. It's one of the finer points or details that hasn't been emphasized by my schools' instructors enough and this birds eye view with the new format really helps. Good work.

    He's Amazing and you can easily see that he perfectly analyzes the entire Mechanism of action with this beast we call " Backing" I just finished my CDL training and I have my test this Tuesday, Oct.20/2020. Backing has always been tricky for me with a trailer. No other vehicles, I'm good lol. I watched all this man's videos and found him to be the very best in teaching backing. Many instructors can spot you and tell you which way to steer and when to move up etc..But Very few can teach so you can wrap your brain around it. MTS does it with such precision and addresses every trick and problem you'll inevitably encounter. Drone footage with various youtube training goes a long way. 2 weeks ago, I got into American truck Driving SIM and it is excellent for understanding the trucks physics and angles during parking/back ups. I use a thrustmaster set and am waiting on Track IR.
    I think this man's game will be on a different level as you constantly see the lines~ tractor and trailer and you see steer tires and steering wheel. This is key and invaluable in my opinion. I cannot wait to play his game on all levels eventually. Like he said, he has thousands of back ups so at this point it's like brushing your teeth and walking. He knows instinctively what he'll do and where the truck/trailer will and can go. it's like Chess for him . He's courteous enough to feel passionate with conveying all his skills and advanced set-ups so that we can get to better and more tricky back-ups within a shorter period of time

    YUSSSSS Another fine video to explain in what I deem to be, is the basic fundamental of backing up rigs. No I am not experienced. . . in fact, I just finished a Transport training school, and I did not pass my road test for a few reasons. One of them being I just could not do what many called a simple 90 degree alley backup. Well it's not "simple" to me.
    David at My Trucking Skills, in my opinion, has given me insight into looking at backing up from a different perspective. Thanks Brother !!! And I fully intend to get around to watching every video you put out to date. :)

    Very good, in my point of view as a beginner, the straight backing is the most important to accomplish the offset and parallel backing technique.

    Very clear. Love the new game and am really looking forward to it. As usual, best backing lessons ever.
