The trailer can only move in the direction it is currently pointing. The first step to controlling your trailer is making sure that you see it correctly. Truck driving students who believe in the 'Opposite Myth' struggle the most at reversing. Stop trying to move the rear of the trailer with an opposite turn of the steering wheel. I hope the video evidence will convince you. Here is a link to a...

    I like the glove trick too. I did a lot of tailgate work not using a loading dock. I'll pace off a distance, drop my glove and use it to know right where to stop.

    I drive a hustler and I can say that I am very good at it but it surprise me how many drivers ask me to back up trailers for them because they don't know how. I used to do it but they can't even say thank you so I stop helping , let them strugle.

    I am not a truck driver but I do pull my own short trailer and I feel that I got something out of the video. I know that a short trailer with a long truck is a bad combination but you work with what you have. Once you get the “feel” of backing up in a straight line in this way you can learn how to back up better. 😊

      @AdvancedTruckBacking 20 днів тому

      Too much offset between tractor and trailer which is making the trailer rotate . Slow rotation with left turn. Avoid right turns. Makes you rotate twice as fast.

    Your series of videos have been a game changer for my career. Watching tens of videos had gotten me no help. I could back up but never felt completely in control in difficult situations. You gave me a tool box to face anything. I thank you for that.

    Backing is an art for sure. I have to go back into a stop off a busy, narrow street every week. I find once I'm fatigued, it's hit or miss when i get back to the yard. Gotta know yoyr angles and rotate that wheel to adjust as needed. Good video.

I have a much greater understanding of how they move now. the trainer I had was not the best. I have some knowledge from growing up around trucks and such. But Priceless is not a big enough word to use for you video's and knowledge. Again Thank you so much.

    I taught my son to back up with 1- 20oz water bottle as a guide. The water bottle represented a parked truck. He learned quick and caught on very well. Hope this helps for anyone showing someone new on how to back up. Make them get off too so they can see and know the actual size of their truck. I know there is more to it but to the new driver, you'll get it with more practice and patience. Good Luck and Peace.

      see the entire length of the trailer, where it points is where it rolls. The trailer behaves like a long wheelbarrow. How we interact with the kingpin determines how it rotates. expand your focus to see all of it.
