I been driving 28 years and I still get out and look.Not a thing wrong with it.If you arent sure where your trailer is be smart,go look.In the dark,poorly lit lot its best to get out and look anyway.I am an owner operator
since insurance is so high yes I will et out and look so I dont hit another truck.
most accidents happen in truck stops. there dark, tight,people are staring at you, youre tired hungry have to take shit maybe have a pounding heachache. im glad im local and the only time i pull into a truck stop is to buy a overprice soft drink and hamburger.
man no matter how good you think you are just get out and look its not worth hitting something i get out everytime and i have been driving for too long
I'am not a trucker but Im always amazed at their driving. A lot of respect for you guys. I do a lot of driving (regular car) everyday and I dont know how they do it but my temper limit would be over the limit at the way other drivers get in front of them and trying to compete w/ the truck.
try that on a split axle trailer. they are much harder since the response is less predictable and not as precise. I been pulling a split axle for 8 years now and still can't get it right on the money all the time, but regular axle trailer is a piece of cake to me.
@8747800 My thinking exactly. I should hopefully be on the road with a trainer by early march. I'm gonna be that guy pissing everyone off by getting out and looking... but life's tough sometimes. lol
@8747800 I can't see backing being easy... but I'm sure it gets easier with time. just gotta go slow and don't get pressured to rush. Definitely excited to start though!
hey all you so called truckers. give the rookies a break. i have been driving for 28 years. driving everything out there and can back anything. but i haven't forgot i was a rookie at one time. so give them a break. you guys give truckers a bad name.
@cr480rider Ok, so i got 4 years more on ya, and all i do is heavy haul. I would like to see you back my 3+3+3 up. Only 110 feet long when jeep and stinger put together. I do agree with you on the give the rookie a break, because we all had to learn one way or another. No truck driving school for me,I learned in the military back in 1974 on a 10 ton tractor with a 6x4 transmission. No fun with out power steering and putting your arm through steering wheel to shift. Be safe out there.
@cr480rider Hey buddy! I love ur comment! I drive a full sleeper on my tractor, makes it 100 times harder to steer and back up, i got alot of shit over the CB for no reason, i say im a rookie and i get crap for that, but ur a great and wise hauler :)
I reckon if some lazy arsed trucker got off his fat arse and waved that poor driver into his spot whether hes experienced or not would be about as courtious as ya can get, I drove trucks in the USA and although there is wonderful courtesy on the roads there is nobody in a truck stop that wants to help ya back in and doin on the cb aint the one ya better to get out there and do the hand signal thing
@xXSkinnyMeXx To my understanding, 53' is the longest van/reefer trailer available. There are some lengths that will exceed it, such as triples, or the over sized load trailers.
he did good me personally i would have stayed closer to the side i was backing into for my setup but eh to each his own we all have differnet ways of doing it right?
all these pieces of shit on here bad mouthing truckers needa get behind the wheel ive taken 3 defensive driving classes ( not due to tickets or breaking the law ) 6 class sessions an 4 OJT courses in prescion driving i think ima badass driver but i cant back one of these up to save my life GOOD JOB idc what anybody says that takes skill
@Primal67060 I have absolutely no fuckin idea what that means, like literally, not even a clue. You went from patience to "virte?" to crayons to corona
@Primal67060 no yea im a trucker alright partna, i tell ya what i was in a dog on Kenworth T-600 back in my days and i had to do a full Flip-flop down on interstate 85 with 2 ton pack of meat swat in the back, now i couldn't even back out caulse of that rooster cruiser had a 10-42 down at the strip of the interstate i tell ya what boy
once you get started backing up..shut your 4 ways off..they are confusing..trailer lights are all u need...and drivers, when some one is backing up in front of u..shut your dam headlights off..have SOME respect..
Anyone else notice the jackwagon in the yellow freightliner that didn't turn off his lights for the man trying to hit the hole? Where have all the manners gone?
@GreenSkyy87 driving LTL fro the last 18ys. I do more backing than i go than driving. iv been there late at night tryiong to find a spot to park at truckstop.
@GreenSkyy87 ....yeah i saw that. back when i was otr i hated it when drivers did that and i was trying to back in . some drivers just have no consideration for nighttime backing.
@GreenSkyy87 There are no manners anymore. Here in Europe the last drops of common sense vanished with the so called automatic headlights. When I point out to people that they should turn off their headlights while at the dock I only receive a blank stare. Can't see a damn thing when backing up to the next one especially when it rains.
only a rookie is what???? i never get out and look but its not because i am too cool its because i know where my truck is and i know where things are...im very careful and have over 25 yrs without a single incident... i am a bedbugger and im off the beaten path constantly and in peoples driveways with a 53... keep your get out and look if you like but id rather just use caution and skill...oh by the way...nice job backing this one in driver.....
I drove truck all over the US for 10yrs, parked in every Truck stop there is im sure, in that time i was lucky enough to have never touched another truck.
i was able to walk away without ever scratching the trucks i drove.
Not to say i was never hit though, i have been hit 4 times, truck disabled once.
all 4 times safety found me "not at fault".
i was a driver trainer for 5 of those years, no trainee acquired any violations in there first year out of the trainer truck.
A proffessional driver pre plans all trips including stops and insures one will not have to back up other than to unload. This guy can manouver a big rig yet forgot to sound horn on each backing attempt as well as setting his parking brake as mentioned. He should have got out of truck and checked clearance between vehicles several times without a spotter when backing up. 70% of all trucking accidents occur while backing up when the driver "THINKS" the path is clear.
@thebassman5 Let me tell you a little bit about "real world trucking." If you're in a truckstop at night, there is a very good chance that other drivers are sleeping, and if some newbie out of school comes in blasting the horn every time they start to proceed backward, his/her career could end rather quickly due to death, because many of the drivers are trying to rest and don't want to hear honking all night long. It's called "common coutesy" Learn it before you decide to drive a truck.
All you fairweather drivers that get to the truckstops at 2-3-4pm for the night..You guys park in the back......Let the guys that are still working that get to the truckstop at 7-8-9pm have the front spots. Its only fair that way. If I owned a truckstop...Thats how Id park everyone.
@RandomConcepts If you mean idling the engine and noise from that. It's kind of like people who let their televisions run while they sleep. If there's fumes getting in the cab that would be an exhaust leak and would be an out of service violation that must be repaired before the truck can legally be moved under it's own power.
@bigfatkid49 sure, but when i get my air endorsment, i will, cuzz im sure i will be nervous the first few times cuzz i wont instantly be transformed into a 35 year trucking veteran. so yea, being a rookie sucks, but you have to start somewhere
Nicely done, I'd say! I think we all have our 'good days' and 'bad days' out here. I have blindsided my Pro Star in one shot, but have take multiple tries, and needed a helper to sight see it in when I was tired. Sometimes, we have TOO much room, and it will take a few tries more than usual to get it in the dock. Go figure! lol! And for me, it's a LOT harder at night.
@stack4321 He most likely did forget but some guys back in against a curb and purposely not set them. Some of the bigger companies have a timer that will shut off the truck after so many minutes. Not setting the parking brake stopped this, the truck thought it wasnt parked and you could idle for how ever long. I had to deal with this crap for 2 years on my old kenworth before i have the computer re flashed
I may only drive tour bus, but I have respect for truckers and how they back their rigs up. Especially this driver, i have seen others backing but this driver here did it with ease and didn't hit a thing! backing a 45' bus up is nothing compaired to backing a 53' trailer w/backward steering to turn the trailer in the right direction. Keep up the great driving, and see ya out on the road!
Why is there so much shit talking about how good a driver is, we all started and the same place, we was all a newbie driver at one time....it use to be a day when when someone had trouble backing they would set their brakes and go out and help the newbie learn something. You should respect all drivers, and if you have 50 years in the truck, do a good deed and help someone that has none, your truck driving skills are nothing in the grave.

All i can say is this driver didnt hit anybodys rig , they backed with descent speed and never once did you see the cab shake from the driver being too anxious . GOOD JOB in my book . To the other disrespectful comments : its people like you as to why we have animosity on the highway with your super trucker slang bs . grow up and show a fellow trucker some gratitude for Gods sake !!! Im sure ill get some Kindergarten response but that is expected from such ill-mannered and disrespectful people
@JDHOPKINS78 I agree. He did a great job. Alot of people have that "I CAN DO BETTER, ROOKIE." Hmm, where are their videos? For the LTL drivers, this isn't LTL, they don't have 30 times a day, maybe 1-3 times at most, unless they pull in and out of truck stop. If you did LTL long enough yeh you would have skills.Too many whiners.
@JDHOPKINS78 All the trucks I have driven so far have been freightliners but only one I had that didn't shake when the wheels were cut hard. Of course that was the only truck that the stop blocks had been removed. Even when completely calm with no "worry" or anxious feeling they still did it when the wheel was cut past a certain point and feathering the clutch.
@JDHOPKINS78 i am a class 1 HGV driver in England i dont think people understand that there is an art to reverseing a truck , its not just the reverseing its being aware of whats going on around you at all times ! well done driver !
Whats the big deal? Why not try a blind side alley dock on a major street. Peg is right I drive LTL as well. I pull doubles/triples rocky sets hiway sets. This is no big trick to me. I guess good job you didnt hit anything.
@MrINeedSome i never said that i do back doubles or triples but backing this 53 in is no big deal. In ltl you back up 20 or 25 times a day so you get really good at it. Otr guys back up what 4 maybe 5 times a day? Come with me sometime and i will show you some docks you wont even try to back in to.
@grbtruck It depend on where you're backing. You can bump a wide open dock all day long with a pup trailer yet that doesn't compare to backing a 53 ft in the dark at a tight truckstop.
I've had to do 90 degree blindside backing into docks plenty of times so please don't try to impress me.
@MrINeedSome Ok super trucker you are so right. You are the best there is no way i could compete with a super trucker like you. Obviously by your screen name you are a lady killer as well. Please do not bother me with your feats of truck driving anymore. When your cdl says tx and you have several million miles under your belt then talk to me. Until then i have nothing more to say to you super trucker.
@grbtruck Hey lady, your the one on here critizing drivers who aren't as superior as you. Don't call me the "super trucker". I'm not sure where you drive but come out here to the east coast and we'll take a run up through NYcity, Boston etc and we'll see how fantastic you are then. By the way, I have doubles/triples endorsement on my CDL.
@MrINeedSome Looks like some of your comments have been removed. Im sure this is your video and you are all hurt because we arent impressed with your driving. And by the way the endorsements tx mean doubles triples hazmat and tanker. Obviously you have never had those and probably never will. Ok supertrucker I am really impressed with your backing skills. Do NOT send me any more messages I have devoted more time to this than it deserves.
@grbtruck I have all the endorsements, cry-baby. You start shit then "waa-waa" when someone gives it back to you. Please, keep your tonka toy away from us real drivers.
All I have to say is, if that was considered a good job backing up, then he wouldn't stand a chance as an LTL/Local city driver. I drive for one of the top 50 LTL carriers in the country doing P&D in the city with 48 and 53 footers and twin screw day cabs. I know some are going to bitch about day cabs but, pull a rig like that thru the city all day thru alleys and residentials without hitting anything, and then you are a true "driver". Remember we ran OTR before LTL. Not many can do it.
@PegSha06 brings back memories of just that type of driving for a coca-cola outfit driving an intl 8600 city tractor and 48 ft trailers into and out of convenience store parking lots and other godawful places! your backing skills had to be strong!
@PegSha06 so your trying to sound superior to everyone else just because you drive for a local city carrier? no one really cares whether the company is a top 50, or any other crap you write down, all that matters is if you can back pure and simple, instead of going on a diatribe of bullshit makin your look less of a professional driver and more of a asshole.
@PegSha06 ill agree with you on the LTL bit. i run with a guy who does LTL in a highway tractor and 53 foot van...not easy at all and i hate day cabs >_< they ride like shit!
Ive done this when you comin in around 9:00 or 10:00 from driving straight for 10 hours you just want to park that 53' Piece of shit of a trailer and go to bed! it gets tiring!
Isn't this what happens almost all the time? I don't get it. If a driver from one of the evil corporate companies takes this long and does this many pull-ups it gets twisted into somehow being "proof" that they are a danger to everyone on the road. Yet when this guy does the exact same thing, it's an example for all to follow? I'm not saying there aren't a lot of criminally bad drivers out there, but you people need to make up your fucking minds about what's acceptable and stop being hypocrites.
@Ghost0630 lmao, I love your comment. I think they are praising him for how tight the fit was. It looks like the distance between the two rows isn't even a truck length and the parking space is no more than it was across the way.
I don't know, there was probably a better parking spot in their that he could have went for...
Trucks are getting longer every year and we keep having to manuever into tighter and tighter spaces all the time. Seems like many of the truck stops today are laid out using a cabover with a 48' trailer...

A proffessional driver pre plans all trips including stops and insures one will not have to back up other than to unload. This guy can manouver a big rig yet forgot to sound horn on each backing attempt as well as setting his parking brake as mentioned. He should have got out of truck and checked clearance between vehicles several times without a spotter when backing up. 70% of all trucking accidents occur while backing up when the driver "THINKS" the path is clear.

@thebassman5 Let me tell you a little bit about "real world trucking." If you're in a truckstop at night, there is a very good chance that other drivers are sleeping, and if some newbie out of school comes in blasting the horn every time they start to proceed backward, his/her career could end rather quickly due to death, because many of the drivers are trying to rest and don't want to hear honking all night long. It's called "common coutesy" Learn it before you decide to drive a truck.

I have a great solution to truckstop parking.
All you fairweather drivers that get to the truckstops at 2-3-4pm for the night..You guys park in the back......Let the guys that are still working that get to the truckstop at 7-8-9pm have the front spots. Its only fair that way. If I owned a truckstop...Thats how Id park everyone.

@RandomConcepts If you mean idling the engine and noise from that. It's kind of like people who let their televisions run while they sleep. If there's fumes getting in the cab that would be an exhaust leak and would be an out of service violation that must be repaired before the truck can legally be moved under it's own power.

Nicely done, I'd say! I think we all have our 'good days' and 'bad days' out here. I have blindsided my Pro Star in one shot, but have take multiple tries, and needed a helper to sight see it in when I was tired. Sometimes, we have TOO much room, and it will take a few tries more than usual to get it in the dock. Go figure! lol! And for me, it's a LOT harder at night.

stack4321 1 year ago
@stack4321 He most likely did forget but some guys back in against a curb and purposely not set them. Some of the bigger companies have a timer that will shut off the truck after so many minutes. Not setting the parking brake stopped this, the truck thought it wasnt parked and you could idle for how ever long. I had to deal with this crap for 2 years on my old kenworth before i have the computer re flashed

I may only drive tour bus, but I have respect for truckers and how they back their rigs up. Especially this driver, i have seen others backing but this driver here did it with ease and didn't hit a thing! backing a 45' bus up is nothing compaired to backing a 53' trailer w/backward steering to turn the trailer in the right direction. Keep up the great driving, and see ya out on the road!

Why is there so much shit talking about how good a driver is, we all started and the same place, we was all a newbie driver at one time....it use to be a day when when someone had trouble backing they would set their brakes and go out and help the newbie learn something. You should respect all drivers, and if you have 50 years in the truck, do a good deed and help someone that has none, your truck driving skills are nothing in the grave.

All i can say is this driver didnt hit anybodys rig , they backed with descent speed and never once did you see the cab shake from the driver being too anxious . GOOD JOB in my book . To the other disrespectful comments : its people like you as to why we have animosity on the highway with your super trucker slang bs . grow up and show a fellow trucker some gratitude for Gods sake !!! Im sure ill get some Kindergarten response but that is expected from such ill-mannered and disrespectful people

@JDHOPKINS78 I agree. He did a great job. Alot of people have that "I CAN DO BETTER, ROOKIE." Hmm, where are their videos? For the LTL drivers, this isn't LTL, they don't have 30 times a day, maybe 1-3 times at most, unless they pull in and out of truck stop. If you did LTL long enough yeh you would have skills.Too many whiners.

@JDHOPKINS78 All the trucks I have driven so far have been freightliners but only one I had that didn't shake when the wheels were cut hard. Of course that was the only truck that the stop blocks had been removed. Even when completely calm with no "worry" or anxious feeling they still did it when the wheel was cut past a certain point and feathering the clutch.

Whats the big deal? Why not try a blind side alley dock on a major street. Peg is right I drive LTL as well. I pull doubles/triples rocky sets hiway sets. This is no big trick to me. I guess good job you didnt hit anything.

@grbtruck How often do you back doubles/triples? Probably never.
MrINeedSome 1 year ago
@MrINeedSome i never said that i do back doubles or triples but backing this 53 in is no big deal. In ltl you back up 20 or 25 times a day so you get really good at it. Otr guys back up what 4 maybe 5 times a day? Come with me sometime and i will show you some docks you wont even try to back in to.
grbtruck 1 year ago
@grbtruck It depend on where you're backing. You can bump a wide open dock all day long with a pup trailer yet that doesn't compare to backing a 53 ft in the dark at a tight truckstop.
I've had to do 90 degree blindside backing into docks plenty of times so please don't try to impress me.

@MrINeedSome Ok super trucker you are so right. You are the best there is no way i could compete with a super trucker like you. Obviously by your screen name you are a lady killer as well.

@MrINeedSome Looks like some of your comments have been removed. Im sure this is your video and you are all hurt because we arent impressed with your driving.

uu91010 1 year ago
All I have to say is, if that was considered a good job backing up, then he wouldn't stand a chance as an LTL/Local city driver. I drive for one of the top 50 LTL carriers in the country doing P&D in the city with 48 and 53 footers and twin screw day cabs. I know some are going to bitch about day cabs but, pull a rig like that thru the city all day thru alleys and residentials without hitting anything, and then you are a true "driver". Remember we ran OTR before LTL. Not many can do it.

@PegSha06 brings back memories of just that type of driving for a coca-cola outfit driving an intl 8600 city tractor and 48 ft trailers into and out of convenience store parking lots and other godawful places! your backing skills had to be strong!
Relistener 1 year ago
@PegSha06 so your trying to sound superior to everyone else just because you drive for a local city carrier? no one really cares whether the company is a top 50, or any other crap you write down, all that matters is if you can back pure and simple, instead of going on a diatribe of bullshit makin your look less of a professional driver and more of a asshole.

kennyworth1967 1 year ago
Isn't this what happens almost all the time? I don't get it. If a driver from one of the evil corporate companies takes this long and does this many pull-ups it gets twisted into somehow being "proof" that they are a danger to everyone on the road. Yet when this guy does the exact same thing, it's an example for all to follow? I'm not saying there aren't a lot of criminally bad drivers out there, but you people need to make up your fucking minds about what's acceptable and stop being hypocrites.
