Truck Tips: How to back up a tractor-trailer 

He’s old school this young man giving real life pro veteran backing tractor trailer truck tips with precise exact instructions and I love every min of this video

I love this!!! Some days I feel like I need to go back to the basics. You go on all these channels and they show you “look at me, backing in”, teaching you nothing. I like steps. I like to know what to look for, and steps to do it properly. Thanks 💯.

Been driving not even a year and I can say backing is definitely something I needa master this video was a lot of help thank you

Pretty much all of these backing vidoes teaches you how to back, but doesn't explain the concept behind it. Like why do you steer left to go right, & steer right to go left. That is because you're pushing the trailer, when you're reversing, instead of pulling when you're going forward. Confused? Take any object, phone, cigarette box, eraser. Push it with your finger so that it swing to the left/right. It's all about the placement of your tandem. It doesn't matter where the front of your tractor is, left, center, right, wherever. Blindside backing is same as normal backing. It's just harder cuz you can't see, that's all. Hence blindside. But still possible if you get out & look, notice your position, mentally keep track of your trailer & tractor as you navigate into your dock. Go slow. If you're at a truck stop, don't be afraid to ask a fellow driver to help you. Get his phone #, put him on speaker, so you can hear his instructions.

Loved the tip about aligning the drive tires with the center of the dock or parking space 😊

It's weird how backing over the left is easy, but over the right it gets tricky really fast

Thank you 🙏 for sharing

Sad my school didn’t teach this. They thought us how to straight line but when it came to parking and alley back they pretty sad you’re on your own

Good Video, not what I was looking for though,

Working @ sysco it was a mission backing into everywhere

Thanks yes it does! Takes about 2 years to master it

Easy docking in a yard with lots of space.

Is that Tom Selleck narrating this video???

Put it in R and watch thing's going away

First 90 seconds were fabulous. After that, not so good.

90 degree hamla c/o army Indicator button on by driver koshyari white hair Trailor back is open while backing it . it will kill musalma*

Or. Don't Block everything while you waddle your way to open the doors. Open your doors and slide your tandems at a 90⁰ so you're not blocking all of the other drivers. Then make your back.. good grief
