Basic CDL A Backing Fundamentals. Straight Line Backing, Angle Backing, and Offset Backing.

Basic CDL A Backing Fundamentals. Straight Line Backing, Angle Backing, and Offset Backing! After learning the CDL Pre-Trip Inspection, the next portion of our training is basic backing maneuvers. Students learn in their second week Straight Line Backing, Angle Backing, and Offset Backing (Right & Left). We teach it in this order as each skill progresses into the next. We cover the 90/Alley Dock in the following week.

The video demonstrates on a toy truck all three maneuvers along with common errors and how to recover from them. This is an easier way to teach from a birds eye view before actually walking each student through these skills. Please do not attempt without proper professionals and safety training.

This video is for general information only. It is not intended to cover all circumstances or to serve as a substitute for comprehensive safety training. Please note that the video is just an example. It is important to remember the type of driver you are, the company you work for and the type of truck you drive can impact how to back up a tractor-trailer. Be sure to consult your company guidelines or speak with your leader for more information on backing up a tractor-trailer.

I learned more in this one video than my first whole week of CDL school. Thank you sooo much!

[NightowlTrucking]

I knew if I watched enough videos, I’d finally discover one that made sense to me. This is excellent, “Where’s my trouble?”, “Turn toward your trouble.”, “Straighten your tractor before attempting an ‘S’ pull-up”, “Bring trailer tires to center.”, “What did you just do? That’s a parallel.”
Fantastic video. I’m about to start CDL school in Illinois…I pray my instructor is half as good as you.

I’m struggling bad with backing up!! To the point of tears! I’m going to put this on repeat

“With every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”
That should literally be the official quote of backing a trailer! I started today and still need some practice. Great video!

[janelleslivinskesmith]

This instructor is awesome in his explanations. He helps me “get” the basics

[michaelmurray]

Thanks for the great video. I've been driving twelve years and this actually came very easy to me. I have started training and find it very hard to break down what's going on to others and this video helped tremendously!! Thanks again for a well put together, and instructive video.

[johnbernard]

I'm gonna try this s-technique tomorrow to see how it works out. I think the S-technique is awesome rather than jack to the left or right. I will leave another comment this week regarding what I just learn here.

[vidalesluis]

[royalflush]

[CrashRebootL]

I was never thought how to do the forward serpentine (S Pull-up), this demonstration with the toys clicked in my head, thx a.ton.

[MissWest]

Thanks for this video. Learning the fundamentals will help me master backing maneuvers

[JimmyR]

I’m struggling with this right now. This video is helping me a lot right now !!!!

[jacquemartinez]

I learned more in this video than 10 (?) Weeks of CDL school. Wished you could do a 90 ally dock backing. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

When I was in training I could back up but was not comfortable I just felt like I could do better. It changed after I understood the relationship between the truck and the trailer. Before that, I used to chase the trailer too late and end up having to pull fwd and back up again. Once I understood what was happening everything that the instructor was saying became clear he was kinda saying it all along but not as detailed as I would want him to, he only said don't allow truck and trailer to bend too much but he didn't or couldn't explain why I don't know. I did my research to learn how the 5th wheel pressures different areas of the kingpin depending on the direction you turn the steering wheel. And with that, I know how to back up how to pull forward to make corrections.
