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 have 6 months experience and for some reason I can never do this right. I had to look it up. It is embarrassing when you can't do a simple maneuver. All in the setup.

I learned more from this than 6weeks with a trainer and CDL school combined.

I’m gonna make sure I watch this video 1 millions times especially at 3:58 - that’s what I couldn’t comprehend

[Wendy-zlkv]

Thank you sir! Just what I was looking for!! I’ve been having trouble with this. Looks so easy but I’ve been trying to complicated.

It’s my second day on my own and you have already helped me out so much! I can straight line back but was struggling with how to set up at the dock. Thank you so much!

[davidpalmisano]

I think at 3:58 is key. You can come out of that 90degree position too early and come misaligned with the spot. I think the key is counting While you're in that perpendicular with the trailer so it has a chance to rotate, THEN come out of it. Because I tried to do this setup tonight in an wide open lot and I was OMG I forgot how to park!?? I didn't give it enough time in that perpendicular to rotate...that's why. I came out too early.

I Like to thank you man. While I was training, it was really hard for me to get all this down in my head, it just didn’t click. Much to the frustration of my trainer. I was able to pass training but barely. Then I stumbled on your videos. Showing a birds eye view of the tractor trailer, the angles, the movement of the wheels and trailer. It all helped a great deal for me to finally understand better. Still need some more practice but your videos did help me get out of this slump in learning.

Again, thanks so much.

The problem with trying to set yourself up for a straight line back is you usually end up having to blindside to fix it. For that reason, I just do a sight side setup with a very small angle between the tractor and trailer so it's almost like a straight line back. The best advice for any situation is to use all of your available space.

I love your teaching, especially the way you break down the way the steering wheel moves during your backing.

[rosetnakato]

I really appreciate your good work keep it up 💪

Best video I have seen so far. Thanks for the visuals. Very helpful. 👍

You are the best and I was struggling in 45 90 straight back in dock. It’s easy with cone, but really life I was nervous and scare. Your video are helping and increased my confidence. Hopefully my trainer don’t yell at me this time

[carmenbruda]

Tks very much! Your videos are very instructive!

[levirain]

So there are a few ways to park backwards depending on the space and surroundings. Some people use 12 o'clock then 9 o'clock method for this setup but this seems easier on this video.

[JohnNorris]

In a day cab with 53' trailer, I set up with the forward line of the space (if space is to your left then the one that will be on your driver side when you turn at my shoulder. Then hard turn until my truck is facing 45 degrees to the imaginary line coming from the rear line of my space extened out. Then 45 straight to the imaginary extened line and then drive my inside steer tire onto and along that line until my truck and trailer are straight, this usually has my truck and trailer perfectly straight and in line with the space. A shorter trailer you have to turn a few feet sooner. I have not tried with a sleeper.

Hope this helps me at the landfield😅 gotta exaggerate the turns due to no traction...

[shaunweeks]

Love your videos. They are helping me out so much. When is your game coming out?

I can dock 45 and 90 no problem. But....setting up for a straightline back i have problems. Can never seem to get my truck straight in front of the docking spot. Always crooked and aiming at the wrong area

[edgarayala]

do you have to move the steering wheel fast? also I have my left hand on the bottom. so when I need to go left I use my left hand to go left and right going right.
