How To Back A Semi **For Beginners** 

Pro tip for beginners. After your set-up and you start backing as SOON as you see the trailer not going where you want it STOP!. pull up as far as you can and turn left if you're too close to hitting the trailer or turn right but not too long and aggressive if you over shot and try again . Pull up and repeat .

Backing a 53 for dry van trailer is a feeling you got to feel it! My best advice whoever reading this learn all the basics and make it you're own do what's best for you cause everyone back's differently.

Hey girl name is Jay I’m a CDL instructor at HCC in Hutchison, Kansas. What are the best videos I’ve ever seen explaining and showing how to put the trailer in and how to fix it I will share your video. Be safe on the road. Keep Truckin after 45 years of driving a retired.

Backing depends on many factors for example how tired you are. Everytime it's different sometimes it's easy sometimes it's challenging. The key 🗝️ is slow 🦥 & small turns

You should emphasize GOAL especially for new drivers like me. I get out 3 or 4 times to check everything.

You girls were so cool and relaxed on teaching us how to back the truck up. Thank for sharing the tips with new drivers, you made seem really easy. Best to you, girls. Trying to get my CDL soon. Love the videos

I am so close to passing my CDL test, just gotta master the backing up! Thank you for the video, very helpful

I just wanted to say thank you, I'm a new driver and still can not backup. With alot of prayer and your step by step and I got it in with no problem. Thank you again 💓

Watched and did ok. A kind gent saw me over steering and got out to assist. Appreciate all those that remember the struggle and help out. I can't wait til it's 2nd nature. Jelli watching the ease experienced drivers do it.

It's a bit of a difficult setup for a beginner with the limited forward space but you executed it very well.

Hey kayla hope you doing good. I'm not a subscriber or anything like that. I wanted to say thank you because when i first went to truck school for my class A CDL i was excited and feeling pretty good. until they started talking about the pre-trip and all the things we had to remember for the test and things if we wanted to get our cdl. At the end that day i almost wanted. When i got home and went on youtube i seen your video; this one i'm committing on of course. I after i saw how you were doing the driving and them backup and how easy you made them look, i new right way i can do it too. Well that's what i did, and today i have my class a cdl. Has i'm committing on this video right now i'm in a hotel room getting ready for my 2 day of orientation with ROEL TRANSPORTATION. THANK YOU KAYLA AND KEEP THE GOOD. Maybe one day i'll run into. I'll be doing the MIDWEST REGION. THANKS AGAIN.

Hi, Kayla and happy Monday!😊😊😊😊😊. This tutorial makes me happy when I played the truck simulator game on the Nintendo Switch.💙💙💙💙💙💙💙. And when I choose the flatbed truck, I put on reverse and backing up real slow without hitting anything. And then...bingo! I parked 100% complete! YAY!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Well done, Kayla!💙💙💙💙💙🌷💖💖💖💖😎☀👍

Great video Kayla, just returning from my first trip with my travel trailer. All pull through sites so no challenging backing but we were on a small road that I missed the turn off back to the freeway. Found a small dirt road that I backed the trailer into so I could turn around and it worked out ok! Also some challenging parking in gas stations and grocery stores that I managed pretty good. With this trailer and my boat trailers I use something you said, turn towards your trouble works every time. Thanks to your sexy girl for helping you record this video!!

Your video was the Best out of all the ones I watched!! I'm a new driver and I can't wait till apply what I just learned from you... Thank You So Much young lady!!!!! ❤️

Thank you for showing everyone that its as simple as that!

I'm always impressed by Kayla she's very good at backing!

Thank you for this🙏🏾 imma lady as well working on getting my CDL at the beginning of ‘22✨ I’m so excited!

Waw , I learned straight backing, parallel parking , offset parking at school but didn't know how to park. I have been trained recently and left alone 😔 with a big truck. Thanks princesses for teaching how to park. I learned 😌 💯.

Definitely trying your technique. I’ve been struggling with backing. Your video seems very useful.

I believe she did a 45 degree backing, setup is right facing 12 o'clock and left facing 9 o'clock, going back straight for a little bit watch where your trailer is going and follow and make small adjustments or pull up as needed

You have inspired me to get my CDL license and I just wanted to thank you for the great vlogs

That is amazing I am so glad you did the video I have looked back into trucking love watching your videos

I got a back test today. I'm seeing this video for the 1st time& i pray i pass. This is a retake because i failed my 90 last time about two weeks ago

Thank you for taking the time out to show us people how straight back that might be struggling in school!!!

I struggle backing bc I get in my head too much, I’m going to try this at my next drop thanks

Thank you your video help me out alot I'm no longer afraid to back in between trucks no more😊😊😊😊😊

I appreciate this video. I have a hard time backing up. I let my permit expire but this time I won’t do it anymore. My goal is to get my CDL before Feb 7, 2022 before the government make changes to entry CDL drivers

Good job. Good teamwork. Great reminder

I'm proud of you. You're Awesome!!!! I can drive a semi tractor trailer but it's difficult for me to do the backing maneuvers. In the future, I'll thinking 🤔 about trying again for my CDL Class A

Awesome job great video your the best truckin Kayla I definitely missed ya and your videos

Nice parking buddy. You know I'm always watching like this kind of tutorial videos since I want to move in Canada as a truck drivers currently I worked in Saudi arabia.i driven a 6whellers straight truck but I tried already driving a flat bed trailer. Thank your educational tips how to backing a trailer.

Get out and look is the best thing to do before backing in any spot..many drivers don't do it but that's the main thing all us should be doing.. there's alotta backing methods we're going to learn to do

Cool and thank you. Every little bit helps. Keep trucking 😊

I am in CDL school now. You are awesome.

I've been at UPS for 14 years now after a few bad experiences in Package Car delivery I decided to give Feeder a try in October but the thought of backing a 53FT kinda makes me nervous cause the UPS Truck driving school is only 2 weeks long but your video is very informative and detailed And I will use your tips when the class starts in a few months Thank You

Good Morning Kayla Have you ever had to blindside into a dock or parking spot . It's very interesting to see how you spot the trailer so easily .

im going to try this back up technic tomorow. i been turning away from the space as soon as my door reach the empty spot . i see you do it at the next trailer

Good video them Amazon spaces are always huge great for beginners.

That bring back memories when I was learning to do it 20 years ago now it's a piece of cake for me

Bravo girl, I have watched your video at least 20 times. Thanks

Thanks for the video, I've successfully parked my Euro truck.🤗

Thank you for your video. Much appreciated

Thank you Kayla! That was very helpful. How long did it take you to get good at backing?

As a new driver, this helps me . Thnx.

Love you ladies great job backing in👍

Yes I believe that video will help a lot of new drivers first time beginners lining up on the trailer next to despite you going in 416 means a lot having a landmark and that was your landmark The electrical box on the trailer next to your spot you going in ❤

You inspire me to be a better truck driver 🏆❤️🙌🙏💪🏼

just what I needed! 👍🏾

Thank you 🙏 for the parking I wish I can do it like you very soon

This is going to up my game in American Trucker.

This video is very informative .. Thanks!👌🏾

That was perfect! Thanks for sharing!

Basically all you gotta do is keep the trailer straight whether you’re going left or right, it needs to be straight and locked in that position. If you start turning too much, you’re not going anywhere thats a jackknife.

Great professional driving. Please make more videos like this. This was Great and informative. Thanks William 😊

Thanks for this video. Helpful information
