That takes GOAL to a whole new level.

@regankaldahl8496 2 года назад

My Dad was a trucker for 30 yrs and got his 1 million mile safe driving award and told me your mirrors are your best friends.know what is around u at all times.

@windermere2330 7 месяцев назад

Love to see old timers spread knowledge! Experience matters!

@endoftherope Год назад

That powerd passenger side mirror was a God sent gift

@Joshualibbyy 2 года назад

Mine is remote controlled I just get out and grab my PS5 controller and just back it right in

@briandarazs6620 2 года назад

Thought I heard it all until now. WOW. Standing on the step while backing up, that guy is lucky he still has legs.

@christopherhart1415 Год назад

That's why I love the trucking industry I've been in since 2014 and every day you will see something new and crazy it never gets old

@vitogriffin8902 2 года назад

I'm not a driver, but I used to move furniture and spent a lot of time in and around trucks..the best drivers I saw would pretty much explain being able to back trucks up so well especially to the blind side, as being intuition. They were so good at it and so used to it that they knew where the trailer was and where it was going to end up just by mastering their craft. I would probably be one of the guys who gets out every 2 feet to look all around the trailer just to make sure everything was going how it was supposed to.

@Mr.boxxchevy 2 года назад

I've seen dudes stepping out or backing up with the door open

@nitroneal48 2 года назад

I lost a friend in fourth grade , he was on the back of his dad log truck trying to help back up and he fell off and his dad backed over top of him his dad didn't see him fall off until it was too late

@dangregg3189 Год назад

Yep I saw a back in the 80's that used to do that. I always thought it was insane.

@Donato2018 Год назад

You're 100% Correct

@phill8260 2 года назад

Yeah I’m a millennial so I’m just going to get me some Wi-Fi cameras and set them up to stick on the back of whatever trailer I have might as well work smarter not harder

@apexmonk3670 2 года назад

GenXer... I still agree. Work smarter.

@kodiak7274 2 года назад

When I was a greenhorn I was in allentown pa and a guy pulled into a shipper with a green pete and did that. I was in awe I'd never seen that and id never do it either. It did look pretty slick though

@johnmoore8850 2 года назад

Do it every right back! I love his videos but this one I don’t agree with! My truck barley crawls in reverse!

@Dortchskii 2 года назад

@@johnmoore8850 I definitely couldn’t do it with my truck. Allison tc10 with 2.49 rearemd. Low reverse at idle is 4mph. I got it used and I have no idea what idiot specced an Allison this way, but as soon as I get a chance I intend to redo the entire low range to something that makes more sense.

@CartoonWeasel Год назад

I open the door but never step out. I turn and make sure my foot stays on the brake. Never had to get up.

@IamNOtAhuman-sg8so 2 года назад

My dad has been backing like that for over 30 years. Standing outside of his truck on the steps. Oddly enough he’s never had to pull forward

@joshuapowell114 2 года назад

Skill

@kevinbaker6168 2 года назад

I had a guy who was "training" me do that. I told him, "don't do that!". A few years later another did that and wound up falling off and got ran over. His body was found a day later because the lot he was putting the trailer was an auxiliary lot that wasn't used very often.

@jchis9852 2 года назад

I've seen them totally standing on the step with their back to the front facing the rear of the trailer. 🤪

@SAPPY4HAPPY1 2 года назад

I think we’ve seen the same guy(s)! Never underestimate the power and creativity of human stupidity.

@Crewsy 2 года назад

Yupp. Never stand on the battery box so make sure your rig has a left side fuel tank to stand on. 😜

@thepitpatrol 2 года назад

I was standing on the step backing my semi up while watching this video on my phone.

@2races1kind 2 года назад

Aww, c'mon, truck surfing is the next Olympic event.

@mr.terwilliger5728 2 года назад

I completely agree. If you’re going to get out of the truck to see what you’re doing when backing up, get completely out of the vehicle with both feet on the ground away from the moving truck. Then after you have a visual on what’s going on, jump up in the truck and continue backing appropriately.

@sixx6sixx107 Год назад

I approve this message but I still love opening my door to back up when the mirror is no help anymore. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@madmikescustomDaily 2 года назад

Safety first I love this guy

@stephenmartin5766 2 года назад

I’ve seen this before, it’s hilarious 😂 Set up right and shouldn’t hardly ever have to even get out

@ericschneider8524 2 года назад

Part of Get Out And Look should be Air Brakes First !

@DCigar 2 года назад

My old boss’s father was killed by his truck when it ran him over after he fell out of it - stupid way to go

@fritzprints7182 Месяц назад

A friend of mine actually ran over himself that way… he lived, but was never the same

@Richtaco 2 года назад

I’ve seen a guy do that in a custom Pete backed into a tight spot perfectly.

@nate186 2 года назад

In the comments, it seems like there's a skill wall - the best of the best can do it safely and quickly, while it's dangerous and near-impossible for average drivers

@soundlord12 2 года назад

Everyone knows you find a random person to back up while you guide them 😂

@off-roadingridingtrails1212 2 года назад

That’s how my great grandfather showed me and ever since that’s how I done it.

@99redballoons54 2 года назад

Opening the door period is just funny to me I’ve never had to open a door to back the many truck I’ve driven local and otr

@dorkydarell4073 2 года назад

OMG 😳 that's funny 🤣🤣🤣!!! Man I had a dude fresh outta trucking school doin that! You can only imagine what I was thinking 🤔🤔🤔 sir!!! 😂

@truckingwithj7202 2 года назад

Worse thing I ever saw was a guy blindside backing, truck in gear, and he was hanging out the passenger side window to see where he was going 🙄.

@certified_boogeyman 2 года назад

That's legendary

@adamhearts9195 2 года назад

but was the truck moving

@jakestevens8817 2 года назад

Worked road crew, one of our dump haulers was just a little 5 foot guy, just backing up the dumper he would jump back and forth to the passenger door and the back to driver door while raising the dumper loaded.... whenever I heard the kwopper rolling in I got the fuck out of the hole.

@R-BURQUENO 2 года назад

There's no way...Are you serious?????🤣🤦🤦🤦

@kellywhite4460 2 года назад

I've seen this! So dangerous I'm gonna try that door swing move though.

@Alleycatthegadite 2 года назад

If you have door mounted mirrors the door swing is the best way to do it.

@jasonduke3608 2 года назад

It works just stay belted just in in case.

@vendingdudes 2 года назад

Just keep your seat belt on. Almost have to if you got stacks blocking your vision.

@richardwarfordjr.5622 7 месяцев назад

I couldn't be truck driver my road rage kicks in lol

@spencerjames5271 2 года назад

I thought he was going to say never get out and look what’s behind the truck I was about to lose it lmao

@ROT4RYfc3s 2 года назад

The one trainer at my school thought he was cool showing off backing up standing on the steps, also seen a few people do it at the truck stops too.

@richh4003 2 года назад

I open my door all the time, can't see nothing with them big stacks on the side of the truck🤷‍♂️

@joshcantrell8397 2 года назад

Sad thing is is that I don’t doubt you

@uncrunch398 2 года назад

Safety before glamor. Unless you're as fixated as a woman about appearance before going to work. That's why I don't like anything unnecessarily blocking my view. Including exhaust stacks.

@DeanMk1 Год назад

If you're unsure about ANYTHING with your trailer, stop the truck and GET OUT. Walk back and take a look. There's NEVER anything wrong with getting out and figuring out what you need to do to back that trailer up successfully.

@peachesjohnson9387 Месяц назад

Ive done it for 27yrs and nailed it every time IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE DRIVER 😂

@ScottyGMusic 2 года назад

One of my older coworkers told a story from the old days of someone doing this. Standing backwards with his left hand on the wheel.

@greggbaker7120 2 года назад

Got out and look... Don't be afraid, of what the other "drivers "think about it.( been doin' it, for more than 20 years )

@novalawhp 2 года назад

Most underrated advice ive read yet! I always explain to the new drivers that the 1 - 2 max pull up rule isnt really a thing in the real world . I really wish they'd stop teaching that when they go get their cdl's.

@nate186 2 года назад

That's impressive, good job man. I'd rather see that than standing on the outside.

@jeffwain 4 месяца назад

My truck has a voice that will talk to me. It does everything for me. It keeps calling me Michael, but my name is Jeff.

@fklr-369 Год назад

Yeah one of those super truckers lol Great video my friend keep up the good work and stay safe, that goes for the rest of my fellow truckers and much love.

@Wilson632 2 года назад

I agree some big scrappers have really develop that skill those exhaust Stacks really create an issue. When you got to bump the Doc skills pay the bills

@Bigcountrytrucker645 2 года назад

Dude I literally saw that like a week ago at a really tight shipper I was on the phone with my dispatcher and stop talking and she’s like is everything OK I said yeah just something I haven’t seen before

@jessiehughes9432 Год назад

We never covered that in truck school, I'll take your word for it. 👍🏻👌

@rooseveltrainesjr7618 5 месяцев назад

I agree 200% I'm been driving for 34 years never opened my door while backing I use the mirrors. Always good stuff keep teaching us

@rubberband7341 2 года назад

I see guys do this all the time…. They are usually awesome drivers

@tommymonza 2 года назад

I witnessed a guy do this backing his tanker trailer into a very difficult to back into tight Ass spot at a dairy I delivered at also . Usually took me about 5 tries to get into this tight bay and not hit the church in front of you . This guy came up the road on reverse hanging out on the step and nailed the bay nonstop in one try. Impressive but all I could think of is how wrong that could go quickly south.

@johnmoore8850 2 года назад

I impressed a guy today in New Jersey! I do it in every tight spot!

@Thomas-bs9xv Год назад

This story made my day! 😂😂😂

@youngblood5863 Год назад

You are so right, also all these guys riding with the tandems all the way under the belly of the trailer makes it harder to back up, but they dont have a clue, this new breed of trucker are a piece of work, i been driving 39 yrs and i see something new everyday

@yannisgouras4482 2 года назад

Or you could look at it this way so many guys are guilty of bragging about their ability to back into a dock perfectly but that guy who fell off the truck and yet the truck still hit the dock he can say that my backing skills are so good I don't even have to be in the truck and I still get it in the hole

@shawnmcintosh1574 2 года назад

Brother I'm so short . I have to get out and run to the back of the trailer to look While the truck is backing up. I leave the door open so I can run and jump back in before it hits the building. I don't shut the door anymore because the last time I did that it locked and the truck hit the building...

@christopherpaige406 Год назад

Do whatever you need to get the job done.

@b226tj 2 года назад

Ok, I’ve heard of popping the parking brake and getting out to check where the trailer is(like a spotter), but I’ve never heard of anyone standing half in and half out.

@labourlawact7826 2 года назад

My immediate impression of a driver opening his door to reverse is, what an idiot. If you cannot back up with your mirrors, then you shouldn't be in a truck.

@LuckyCharms777 2 года назад

Well just like with cars, most truckers probably don’t have their mirrors adjusted properly either.

@aired-downdisconnected4125 2 года назад

💯

@nate186 2 года назад

Would it change your mind if that's how they've done it for years? I hear some truckers complain that the stacks block their mirrors, so they have to open the doors.

@sheldonharvey8306 Год назад

Those things just to avoid getting out of the truck and looking. Thank you for the video. Keep up the good work.

@NorthViewModelShop 2 года назад

You can tell this man respects his rig. He drives with his house slippers on. Where I work we see a lot of truckers come and go picking up or dropping off loads and all the career guys with nice rigs has 2 sets of foot wear. Indoor and out door shoes.

@matthewhansen5008 2 года назад

Seen a RU-vid driver standing out and driving. Good way to get yourself hurt.

@iitzpepsii 2 года назад

i seen one video the guy was legit standing on the top stair holding the door open and was steering from the outside with one hand if that doesn’t SCREAM STUPID I don’t know what does

@subconsciouslyinyahead7977 Год назад

😂😂😂 I see like 5 dudes a day in flip flop screaming on the phone

@juliobravo9185 Год назад

Backing up with style!!! Hahaha

@ick423 Год назад

And most importantly listening for the crunch and the raising or falling of the trailer.

@Shawn_the_Protogen 7 дней назад

First 3 I've done when I backed up a dump truck for the first time, door wiggling was surprisingly effective. I'd never get out of the truck while it's in gear, the thought of that just makes "Shake hands with danger" play in my head.

@johnnybegood7725 Год назад

You’re a personal hero of mine. I love your advice and extensive knowledge of the industry. Thank you!

@alexalfaro1101 2 года назад

I usually reverse , open my door and quickly run to the back to check the angle is perfect . Then go back into my truck to set the parking break .

@kurtolson627 2 года назад

Some people can only learn the hard way , but we can hope for the best

@pojo9925 Год назад

When I was driving a 379 I would stand on the battery box all the time and found it very easy to back into a space.

@johndameron6822 Год назад

Thanks for the idea

@clintk4691 8 месяцев назад

I've seen a few guys at truck stops do this. I'm always so glad to be on the other side of the lot. Never seen it go south before but always thought "get back in your truck and learn to use your mirrors"

@riprush2672 2 года назад

At my trucking school the trainer/ owner of the company decided to show off. To show us how easy it was to do the 90 degree backing skill he started the backing, got out of the cab onto the ground, walked a few feet and lit a cigarette, climbed back up onto the battery box and finished the skill in one try. This was done in the yard no where near a dock, and cones were used as the lane and imaginary dock. As a trainee, it was impressive. He also said, don’t ever do this. 🤣
