B-TRAIN BACKING INTO A TIGHT SPACE 

😂

Me too!!

Same!! Id be on my 786th pull up right now

If it was a Deepgrove place in ATS, I still would NOT be there today. Those are **bleeping** unreachable because the engines are too weak for taking on even just a 10% grade if you get a job with 100+k lbs oversize load... Only time I ever had an issue like that in ETS2 was in a quarry with the skilled parking option set an the spot being on a ridiculously high hill - and I just have a 600hp truck there with a single drive axle currently. Just had to switch to safe parking to "fix" it... XD Why do they keep giving me jobs to deliver heavy stuff to places where the trucks basically are incapable of going to? XD PS: On my first oversize load job in ATS I couldn't even get out of the place I started in because of that... and those trailers with the jeep and booster are an absolute nightmare, simply because you only get one try as they're impossible to reverse due to immediate jackknifing even in the slightest attempt... :D

Lol...same!

Me too, but I never really had to back them up. We had one guy who would back his rear box into the shop at a 90-degree angle. All the mechanics would come out to watch him do it.

I wholeheartedly agree …

People ask me why I back up so slow. I tell them you only get one chance not to hit something. I always maneuver slow. Just in case. And after 30 years I'm not afraid to get out and look

Ain't nothing but a thing backing for this guy . Pretty slick ! I say he should challenge himself when backing have a couple well build women in really small bikinis jogging at the front of his truck.

dude is like 18 years old what experience

@@Anticipat0r yeah he looks young, probably good genes.

😅

👍

I've just started backing up b trains and enjoy watching him. He crushes it. They offset against each other so fast. As soon as they start to go they're gone. No catching them. Just pull ahead and try again 😂

Yea he's alright.. kiwis back the best

​@@kanewatene1112 don't be that person mate. You make us all look like know it alls with comments like that.

@@bush600r2 every country has there real drivers.. kiwis are the top though

@@bush600r2 backing is 101.. learn to go backwards first before you learn to go through gears.. standard procedure

@Kenneth James.....well said, but putting it in is one thing, getting it out again a completely different story (when backing up, you make the "rear-steering" of the combo your advantage (it doesn't cut corners), but coming out, your trailer(s) will cut the corner...and you won't necessarily always have the space for a wide turn. I've had situations where the only way to get my T/T out of a certain customer's dock was to drop the trailer, swing around the building with the tractor and re-hook the trailer to pull out that way.....all other drivers refused to go there because of the extra hassle....but I enjoyed doing it ;-)

@@andrep8287 If you can back in you can pull out, been doing it for almost 35 years and never had a problem. Now pulling straight in and trying to back out is a little more tricky sometimes.

I was told that by a trainee, I went from TT to front discharge mixer operations and my trainee was sitting on the fender watching everything I was doing. He said it looks like I'm taking mental pictures throughout the job, I really like guys and gals like this who talk through and teach instead of critique and yell.

LOVE The View Thanks Stay Safe

TBH I would be speechless watching this Picasso of reversing too 😂

👍

That was my thought exactly! Many couldn't do it with a single semi behind.

Put the go pro on the tree or across the street.

It’s a skill that takes a bit of practice but its good fun (and stressful) This is me ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EVs_pOcEGzY.html

daily dose of internet steals videos and takes the money from the original creator.

@@rogerstrikewell3921as does a large majority of the internet

😂😂😂😂😂 true dat!!

It is nothing when you’ve been doing a long time. You wouldn’t even imagine some of the places we get trailers, this looks easy in comparison.

@@jeff7764the classic, “yea we get trucks here everytime “ and u only see box trucks, i hate it so much

@@bladi-senpai9398 yup you got that right brother!

It’s a Canada thing 😉

@@callthemall Never seen one out here in BC then again we are not allowed to have drop axles.

Bit like farmers reversing four wheel wagons. Lots of practice .

I used to drive a Pete 379, and I can tell you that they look cool, but they are 40 years out of date. They are claustrophobic with their narrow low roofed cabs. But the thing that concerns me is their floors are 3 or 4 inches lower than any other truck. People think that guys sit low in a Pete because it looks cool. Nope! It's because of the low floor! If I set my seat at normal height my feet dangle in mid air. To reach the floor I need to set the seat low. The problem then is, I can't even see the hood, or that nice hood ornament! Give me a modern Cascadia or even a Columbia any day. Ya' I know. They don't look as cool, but at least you can see where you're going.

@@SternDrive Prefer a Volvo myself. A Volvo with the same wheelbase gets into tight spots effortlessly compared to a 379 not to mention the room and comfort. My company buys new 379s for the resale value. Most people may not believe it but a Volvo does pretty good when the pavement ends and the grades get a little steep as long as you don't hit a big rock.

@@thr0nic probably not, but Navistar is part of the traton group and Scania is also part of that group so they probably get parts from Navistar or Scania Mexico
