This Trucking Game may not be a view from inside the cab, but it's the most realistic physics that a truck makes where you get to understand how to truck operates in reverse. American Truck Simulator (ATS)and European Trucking Simulator 2 (ETS2) are the best trucking games that you get, and I recommend that you play them, but my game is created for people to just get used to reversing a trailer.

I have heard from so many users that truck schools across the country use my game and use my videos to show their students how to back up.

I just want to let you know, I just started my first local trucking job. Our terminal is small and I was having difficulty backing a 53ft into our dock. I watched this video really quick before doing it and was able to dock successfully between two other 53fts. Thank you very much for this information!

Ive been driving 27 years, have pulled all sorts of equipment, oversize, and backed thousands of trailers in virtually every kind of scenario. Just want to say to all of you just starting out...the more you do it, the better you get! Really awesome of this channel to give references to help! Stay safe out there and we will see ya on the flip

Hands down, best alley docking video on You Tube. It shows the “Bird’s eye view” and direction of the steer tires at the same time... Remember this, and practice practice.... THANK YOU!!!

I’m brand new to the trucking scene. I’ve been getting lucky with hardly any truckers parked at the truck stops when it’s time for my 10 hr reset. But damn do I struggle to alley dock even then. I’m definitely going to try this maneuver out! I tend to always overshoot my spot and set myself up perfectly to park where someone is already parked 😂 😢 I’m hoping I get the hang of it real soon! Thanks for everything

Edit: 1 day after watching this video I did EXACTLY what you said and guess who parks with so much ease now!!!! You’re a god send man thank you so much! Well deserved subscription earned !!!!

2 months in my trucking career and never had to do a alley dock parking maneuver before and was never taught in school. Until last week where I Ended up hitting one of my company’s trucks and did some damage. Nothing to bad just cracked the bumper. Watched this video and was able to pull it off this week 😂. Thanks man. Appreciate the vid

I can't believe I'm consulting a video game now, but I really need to ace this alley dock. Thanks for putting this together. Hopefully I'll be thanking you from my cab next time.

Started a new job after driving for 6 years and absolutely killed this maneuver on the first try on the drive test. Now I have a reference to help explain what the hell I’m doing to my friends. Thx!

Kinda defeated tonight.
Couldn't get my 53footer into a tight dock between two trailers (no cabs there) and small front distance to other trailers.

I tried everything they taught me from training in the sleeper cab. To 12, to 9, 45 degree back.
The end result is that the day cab I was put in isn't like the sleeper, at least not enough like it that when it is the end of the day, with my Hours of Service almost up, to get it in in a timely manner. I logged off with 22 seconds on the clock, not finishing my paperwork or anything. Failure does suck.

Oh well, live and learn. Being a rookie with no previous experience this is all new and extremely fun, but man it the learning curve been steep.

If anyone made it this far, the guy at the facility must have taken pity on me cause he switched my door to one with nothing in front of it, making for an easy back...which took me longer than normal, with more pull ups than I would like, due to already being frazzled by the previous door. Even left my good flashlight on the ground (hope it is still there in the morning).

I can't give you the good ending I want to here. I run a day cab so I can get home to see the family...and like a wounded warrior who failed on the battlefield the wife had to come get me (ugh). Talk about salting a wound...drug her out of the house an hour and a half in Christmas traffic to get me because I was stranded due to hours of service....whew.

Let me end this positively: I have something to strive for and overcome (get better at backing and learning the day cab). Funny thing is we rarely realize that the things we overcome eventually are what life is...and I plan to get real good at this really fast, I just couldn't do it with a count down timer in my face.

Peace all.
