i was a shunter driver for db shenker, i loved it, but i could not maintain it because of my knees... but the precision driving, i loved it. U are skilled michal, good job ! im now a road lorry driver, but the terberg skills i optained help me hard on the road now :)
Can be very dangerous on high pressure, completely crazy, shouldn't be this way, Hermes manager putting people in accident risk allowed to drive this way
@@borninwashingmachine4582 Indeed. If it's anything i've learned since being a shunter it's to always follow your VSOP... but even im guilty of cutting corners. You'll find managers will turn a blind eye to you working this way and many other things in the yard but as soon as there's an accident you're the one that getting it in the neck. Another example 4:00mins where he's blindsiding a trailer onto a bay with a red light and some numpy loader is waiting for the trailer to be docked. Sure, we all do it, but anything goes wrong and you're the one being asked why you're backing on to a bay with a red light.
what he dose here it's not hard work on a very busy night shift. feels and looks like he's about to win an olimpic competition of parking trailers. well done and stay safe and out of troubles.
just about to start my class 1 driving course and this video looks very daunting! he is just throwing them in the bays and I am half way through the video and would probably still be on my 1st trailer. Amazing skill and just hope I can reverse my own trailers without damaging anything :/
I'm a class 1 driver and also tug trained to cover the shunters if any of them goes on holiday but our company policy you should wind legs up and down every time you pick a trailer
Man, if only there was a way where the trailers sort of ran in their own guideways, and since the guideway is nice and smooth, you wouldn't need rubber tyres for everything that constantly wore out
Best way to learn manoeuvring is by shunting university a congested yard, I learned to shunt as an apprentice as our yard/workshop was tighter than a nuns ...! Is that a terberg dock spotter??
With these trailers they do, yes. In the UK at least this is pretty standard now. Once you pull the airlines the brake pops. In theory you should still check but that's pretty redundant now days.
It is a real yard. Terberg has an indicator as to whether the pin is engaged properly or not. Personally I'd still do a tug-test but I'm not trying to break any records.
i agree that i had bad habit not to do tug test , but after so many years of shunting you know the sound of 5th wheel when its locking up correctly ... its specific click sound ...
Cutting lots of corners to get the job done! You and not hooking all the lines up to the trailer, you are not chocking any trailers which is a MAJOR osha fine and can actually get you fired for not chocking your trailers on door, driving too fast in the yard, and No pull test. It’s just completely unsafe the way you work! You make it look easy which I am impressed about but I would take a slower worker doing everything right and safely than this!
All this you said is true . Agree . But on the other hand we had 80 bays and 2 shunters ... and loads of work . When you drive tug for a very long time you know the sound when its locking the 5th wheel and the pin going inside the mechanism . ... time I put those trailers back to bays was when they finished next day and Van's started to go away then warehouse staff go for brake same time the van leave the bay so red light maybe a little bit less dangerous... Two lines , I agree they need to be put it on .... but slows you down and make trailer jump when you hit brake whilst reversing ... I dont want to show in that video the correct way of shunting . This is bad way and I dont recommend of copying me .
@@joaquinpv7904 I agree I'm newbie with no experience at all . Just want to show off. You are I assume a very good driver or shunter ... probably taking over on 50mph other drivers etc as you are going 50,5mph ... maybe you got video how skilled you are ? I would like to learn something from you .
@@jimnasium3979 Shunting is technical work in a controlled environment. Road driving is easy work in a much more random environment. Both have their own skillset and hazards.
It is crazy , definitely not norm in civilized world so dramatic, nobody wants employ crazy people? 😄he gets slowly gradually, probably recently the driver gets medical authentication or drinking Polish vodka regularly
Great shunting but you work for the most corrupt bullshit company which is hermes and we the people are refusing to use them and hopefully they cease as a business so to all retail companies ebay sellers private small and large business and costumers to make this happen
To jakiś niemiecki obóz pracy??? Ziomek, umiejętności ci nie brakuje ale popatrz jak pracują np. Niemcy….Za czym ta gonitwa🤦 Szanuj swoje zdrowie i innych…
This is normal operating procedure... Often you get paid by performance or a bonus based on performance. Working on the ro-ro ferries we move the trailers as fast as possible.
