A little trick they taught me during school to get my CDL. Watch your trailer tires and follow them in. Base when and which direction you turn on where they're at in your spot. If you do that it'll go right in the majority of the time. The first time I did it in an actual truck I nailed the 90° backing didn't even pull forward. Alot is also how you set yourself up
Sergeant Alpha5 cool I didn’t wan to offend you and if I did I apologize I just said it because you see guys that think they are super truckers after paying 5000$ to get his cdl
No ones perfect at backing jeff but i have a little suggestion to help. If you try to line the right corner of the trailer with the first cone backing from driver side view you could get it on one shot almost every time. You have the right mind set for backing just figured id give you a pointer. As always thanks for the great videos.
Lol i just got back into trucking (real life) after not doing it in over a year. Found a really good gig out of Iowa and I'm excited. I'll be doin this IRL in two days.
Payway and I just want to say what's up I've been watching your RU-vid channel for a long time and I just seen you tune great work on it I love the videos and keep up the great work😆😆
Was watching Shot in the Dark on Netflix, and after a thorough binging (it's a quick series) I had a vision of you guys trying this on 5M. It's a slickly edited show and worth a watch.
I started watching all the old Ats videos you made and it really has me encouraged to get this game. I started getting back into 18 wheels of steel american long haul just because of watching the videos. Hope to see you drive a few cabovers in the future.
Try a delivery to ABQ (airport) in Albuquerque. One of the trailer parting spaces is in an aircraft. It appears to be an Antonov AN-124 cargo plane. I watched some the other night, but it wouldn't let him park it there because he had a double trailer. So you have to do this with a single box trailer. I want to try this as soon as I get a load going there.
As soon as my Simulation company start and grow up, I will send you some stuff so you can enjoy the most out of the simulation games. Next Level missed your great exposure, as one of the best in simulation gaming channel on youtube. Keep it up :) I will contact you soon hopefully :D
I live in northwest Florida and when I was in Tampa I went to whawha and so very cool very nice gas station and great sandwiches and also I have a winndixie and Publix real close to me and have u gotten a SunPass yet
The question regarding Roadway.... Roadway and Yellow Freight was business transaction. Yellow Freight bought Roadway. Then to merge the companies and terminals they changed the name to YRC.
Last year, I worked at a Materials Recycling Facility, and one in a big city runs 24/7. They are too busy to do maintenance. I couldn't even clean because I had to get back on the line. I sorted trash. After the weekend, the facility would receive 5-8 trucks full of garbage. I can't imagine the size of trash in a big city.
Hey Jeff, I recommendation for a video of this if you can is to go up North in New Mexico. There's a particularly nice road that winds around tight turns and might just be the best section of road in the game. Won't describe it too much in case you don't want a spoiler of the area.
Just a tip: your "Realistic Mirror FOV" mod should be higher in the list (because right now it's still the default FOV). If I remember correctly, it should have higher priority than Sound Fixes.
Yea those trucks are flying in the States lol I was in the Midwest on a 4 week vacation in September and most trucks are going faster than 70 on the highway. In ATS i usually stick around 65. Feels good, also economy-wise. I'm a slowpoke !
Anyone else notice that some of the intersections in the NM DLC really should have a traffic light because the AI traffic doesn't yield properly when you have to turn in various spots? Literally make it impossible to make a turn without a collision because AI doesn't stop/yield properly.
Thanks man my gf has been keeping me company while I've been sick all week and weekend she's been doing video calls with me in the evening to keep my spirits up she is very sweet and kind and understanding and caring
good video bro I enjoyed it keep up the good work and Werner is the company I plan on going to go to when I get my cdls and start driveing a truck can't wait either
Backing well takes time to perfect, and since we're all human we have to adapt and improvise on the "off" days. Could have done what Daze McRae suggested, and you could have pulled more to the left the way you went in. I have done the same the way you approached it many tmes. You just have to keep going left and pivot your tandems as close to the "cone" as you can. You did a good job.
It's pretty easy to always have daylight trips in ATS. I send myself to rest at 6/7 PM, usually wake up early morning. I didn't have a trip in the dark since forever and deliver always in time. ETS is different. I got some really strange working/sleeping patterns there lol
Next time pull in close on your left ,swing out to the right, and then get back under it by pulling to the left u should have an almost perfect setup. A lot of Truckers forget when they were rookies.
Hey Jeff,great video's btw and welcome to FL. I was wondering if you could make a tutorial video on backing up and making turn's video? I'm struggling with backing up a trailer and making sharp turn's into driveways.
Jeff Favignano oh really? And I found a “knock off” version that looks the same just cheaper and found it on Amazon Is there a way you can do a review on the cheap version 😁
okay so i get that you use a wheel to steer but what do you use to look around, it seems like it might be mouse but how would that work with the wheel im trying to get a similar setup to yours. so I can enjoy the game more
but it is very handy for sim games. I use a xbone controller now for driving and camera but am looking into a wheel/pedals and trackIR. Together around $325 new. The split H-shifter is nice to but I'm not sure how pricey they are
