Been driving not even a year and I can say backing is definitely something I needa master this video was a lot of help thank you

I love this!!! Some days I feel like I need to go back to the basics. You go on all these channels and they show you “look at me, backing in”, teaching you nothing. I like steps. I like to know what to look for, and steps to do it properly. Thanks 💯.

im a new trucker. ive been struggling so hard bruh😂😭 this shit is so damn hard to do

[nafsearthling]

Thank you, easy and the best explanation so far. I was graduated from Ez wheel school in New Jersey, and they didn't even teach me how to do a pre-trip inspection.

Pretty much all of these backing vidoes teaches you how to back, but doesn't explain the concept behind it. Like why do you steer left to go right, & steer right to go left. That is because you're pushing the trailer, when you're reversing, instead of pulling when you're going forward. Confused? Take any object, phone, cigarette box, eraser. Push it with your finger so that it swing to the left/right.

It's all about the placement of your tandem. It doesn't matter where the front of your tractor is, left, center, right, wherever. Blindside backing is same as normal backing. It's just harder cuz you can't see, that's all. Hence blindside. But still possible if you get out & look, notice your position, mentally keep track of your trailer & tractor as you navigate into your dock. Go slow.

If you're at a truck stop, don't be afraid to ask a fellow driver to help you. Get his phone #, put him on speaker, so you can hear his instructions.

Good Video, not what I was looking for though,

It's weird how backing over the left is easy, but over the right it gets tricky really fast

Working @ sysco it was a mission backing into everywhere

[MikeThaPhilosopher]

Sad my school didn’t teach this. They thought us how to straight line but when it came to parking and alley back they pretty sad you’re on your own

Put it in R and watch thing's going away

Or. Don't Block everything while you waddle your way to open the doors. Open your doors and slide your tandems at a 90⁰ so you're not blocking all of the other drivers. Then make your back.. good grief
