I got my CDL in 1986 and trained myself (no CDL Schools back then) by working for a moving company and backing up trailers in the yard. To the newbies...never get distracted in your backing or let other drivers in the yard or truck stop bother you with their comments or let your "ego" tell you to get it in one shot causing you an accident..there is "no" wrong in getting out and checking the clearence and obsticles around the tires and trailer as many times needed. Sometimes in tight spaces you have to get out many times or do pull-ups..REMEMBER IF YOUR TRAILER AXLE IS SET ALL THE WAY BACK WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT TURING RADIUS THEN THE TRAILER IN THIS VIDEO (TRAILER AXLES IS SET FORWARD).

This is a cool guy right here with a good attitude. You can tell he's genuine and not one of the usual annoying complainers on here. Appreciate the videos man.

For some of the newbies out there, believe it or not, having those cones there (which would be trailers or other trucks in real life) actually makes it a little easier....or it does for me anyway. It kinda gives you something to shoot for. Whenever I have nothing, no lines or anything around, I usually end up a little crooked on the first shot and need to do a pull up or two lol

Great demonstration on how to do an alley dock, I'm a newbe, and I've been having a hard time with it, in school they just say hard right, then hard left, you demonstrated and pointed out the 12oclock and the 9oclock, you simplified the steps, I now feel more confident in doing the maneuver, , thanks again, from your new subscriber.

sometimes the student is the best teacher no fancy camera set up few mistakes i like how u put cones close together great job

[BinaryTechnique]

Thanks bro. Just got my CDL class A but the school I went to made us parallel park, not alley dock, which made no sense since docking will performed a million times more than parallel parking 🤣

Thanks for the helpful tips, I've been out of school since November. And I plan to get into the truck at the beginning of the year. I'm more worried about the backing than anything

My grandfather taught me to play pool at a very young age. I think that helped when I drove a tractor trailer because I understand angles.
