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.

Or at least, if I was a driver I’d make some kind of camera rig to attach to the rear corners so I could see on a monitor how close I am from different angles, also nice to see on the highway the cars behind me or just get a different angle of the load I’m carrying, making sure everything’s good.

@frakis2771 Год назад

Hiya. Im a trucker. It depends. If there's enough room for a straight back, rather than turning to back in, they can be close enough for truck mirrors to barely fit. Depending on how all trucks park, they can get a little tighter than this if you use some tricks, such sliding tandems mid-back to control how much tail swing you have, or disconnecting and reconnecting to sharpely turn the trailer without wiggling it back and forth. But also, even though tighter spots than this are possible, as a trucker, I would refuse to even attempt this if I were simply parking for the day. Although I have the skill, as I've backed into worse for shipper/receiver docks, so I had no choice, but then you worry about less skilled drivers hitting you. So I always park in spaces that's easy for other truckers to park next to me.

@agatekeeper 3 месяца назад

Lots of drivers purposely park not centered but close to the right line. Attempting to create more space when it's time to pull out at O'dark 30. That make getting into those spaces impossible. Pass any truck stop at night ,you'll see empty parking spaces, but trucks lined up on nearby ramps .Sometimes you just gotta wake up your neighbor and ask them to move, which they usually do after initially losing their cool . It's a good night when you can park in an end spot so you can pull straight out.

@henrykuppens9097 Месяц назад

I'm a retired truck driver and did a lot of maneuvering with trailers. Never realized that this is much easier to learn in a simulation. You have a direct overview that you can translate into what you see in your mirrors. And always used mirrors solely, only looked outside for some oversight.

@badtater2 Год назад

Sliding your tandems forward does make maneuvering into a spot easier...but very IMPORTANT to note...you have several feet of trailer behind your tandems now and you have to take into account for if you dont you will back into the truck on your blind side backing in..or slap the truck on your blindside pullling out due to so much of your trailer hanging over past your trailer axles.👍😀

@Itz_Worm Год назад

Today I learned you can adjust the position of the axles on a semi trailer for weight compliance and maneuvering. I had no clue this was even possible and just assumed every trailer had fixed positioning for them. Thank you for teaching me something new!

@j.baldwin3012 Год назад

You have to inchworm your way out no matter what, but changing your tandem position absolutely affects how the trailer maneuvers. Moving your tandems up decreases off tracking and increases trailer swing, but you don't have to move your tandems all the way up or back.

@gillesLegein 8 месяцев назад

A European trailer has that overhang and 3 axles which makes turning easy in a thight spot but the rear and can swing out a lot. The reason also between the first and third axle, it pivotes a bit when turning cause it pushes the tires in the different direction you turn

@MrMopar413 Год назад

Being a truck driver I’ve been in this type of situation all the time when driving the Pacific Northwest. When pulling out you are going to have to slide your axles period. And hopefully you can J hook it coming out the first time. Now backing in you need to first slide your axles all the way to the rear. Then on your approach you need to be as close as you can to the parked trucks front end. Then as you back up just as your rear axle on your trailer is on the passenger side corner of the parked trucks front bumper you jack Knife your rig so you are spinning the trailer tires on a dime on the ground. What this simulator does not show is the truck-trailer leaning out at the top and in at the bottom of the trailer. The tractor is also tilting because out there the lots are sloped big time for rain water run off. I hate doing this procedure because it’s extremely hard on the equipment and tires. It tears up the lot, puts flat spots on the tires. It puts abnormal strain on the trailer rear axle slider assembly to the point it’s extremely hard to slide your axles or you can’t slide them at all.

@Zedrimar Год назад

this reminds me of the loves over by grand junction. Literally the tiniest bit of space I have seen at a truck stop for parking. One time I had to go pull into a spot, then blind back out of it into the one behind it since there was no room even for a 45-45 turn. There were some nice drivers nearby who helped me (still super thankful for that), but still super stressful. I think with enough practice I probably could have gotten it in, but at the time, it was the only way I saw since it was late at night with no other spots available. I just got lucky with the placement.

Though I like to say thank you it didn't realize with a hard enough jack knife you could push the trailer back even though you are going forward.

@@tstivers1990 I don’t know but I pick up a lot from Nestle Purina in Denver so I don’t want to get blackballed from there. And the hostlers are real bad about moving trailers for drivers, I only asked once and the guy was so rude I never tried it again🤬😡

As an ex-tractor driver this is very entertaining, I love it, but you will never get into a situation like this. You gave me something I can do while sitting home. Looks like fun.

@bkenney1108 Год назад

Thats what its like every time with a flatbed. It can really suck sometimes and most reefer drivers just dont get why it can take us longer to back into tighter spots

@nathanhoff4967 Год назад

Your trailer is only 48 most of the time. That extra 7ft on ours makes a big difference

If it's a spread it's tough though

@JCSmooth Год назад

I feel like this is cheating. I mean you’re looking at this from a Birds Eye perspective. This would be far more challenging to accomplish from a cockpit POV imo. I mean still skills don’t get me wrong, just idk feels kinda like cheating. I’m pretty sure every trucker out there wishes they could just go into birdseyeview/drone view lol when they are in tight situations. Sadly they can’t. Lol

Nope I imagine this everytime I do it in nyc. Then I look move look move and pray

@tezinho81 21 день назад

Why not develop and market a drone which remains attached to the truck via cable, capable being deployed at low speed and when deployed, hovering 2-5m up to give you that birds eye view in real life?

Lol, that's fun. I drove forklift for a company that built semi trailers and one of my jobs was to stage finished trailers in the yard. Thank goodness they were mostly flat decks that I could see over! Lol!

I needed this video about a week ago I'm a flatbed driver and have only been driving cdl for a little over 6 months and I had to blindside allydock up a ramp into the warehouse with about as much room as you had here and i couldn't do it lol I said screw it and told them to offload me outside

This was fun to watch and do in real life, a lot more intense when every other driver around you just happens to be awake and in the front seat.

@trainstractorscarsandtruck7362 Год назад

You have a great working knowledge of the theory of truck parking. Very different in real life without a birds eye view. You did an excellent job utilizing the tools you have though and doing it in real life you should always use those tools as well. I've been driving for 20 years and consider myself an excellent driver in all aspects. One thing that I'm not afraid to do that many truck drivers are is stop, put my parking brakes on get out and actually walk around the truck. Guess what, I've never hit anything in 20 years. Oh and it's called a fairing on the back of the cab. Excellent job getting out and backing it in.

3:30 Are you saying that you have 20 years of driving experience and you're not mentioning the wear and tear on the tires, the axles, the bearings, and everything involved when trying to exit the parking lot?

@trainstractorscarsandtruck7362 9 месяцев назад

@DearMarcel I worked local for 12 years delivering to Grocery Stores sometimes with 6 drops in a day, plus truck stops and back to the Warehouse. Trucks and trailers are built to handle this kind of thing, it happens all the time. There is less wear and tear the further the axles are back. Not legal with a 53' trailer in North America except for a couple places though.

I began playing ETS2 without any knowledge about reverse parking at all - it was a difficult but fun ride to learn all this simply by doing/trying. Now I am pretty confident to get a trailer to its spot. Sometimes, though, I, too, wonder, how to get that thing to where it should go to and I fight several minutes to get it right :D
