Passed at 21 I’m now 55 and still watch these videos, never too old to be taught something, nice tips, I enjoy watching your videos

My older brother passed class one in 1975. First time. He could do nearly all his reversing with head out of the window watching the trailer wheels. He became an expert driver on crash gearbox double de clutching. Went on to do most of the repairs on his trucks over the years. It's all a learning curve nobody was born with a steering wheel or a spanner in their hand.❤😂

I just passed my class 1 last Friday after driving class 2 for 3 years! Learning more and more every day but this video is great help!

Great advise Raul if you cant see or hear whats going on you could end up in trouble I have been driving 50+ years and never have the radio on I like to hear what the vehicle and anything around me is doing .

This is very helpful. Thank you Raul for another great video. Driving C+E for 5 months. Everything became much easier when I understood 1) positioning before reversing is the key 2) oversteering won't help at all 3) don't rush and go outside if you need

Very new driver, just signed my contract today. Found it really difficult to park between 2 trailers today, but you explained it very well and I will try it tomorrow as I really want to learn how to do it. Tomorrow is my first day off to London and I am really nervous.

I have 1 shift a week and keep trying it this way but the trick is to stop the truck in the right position ready for the reverse. Know one mentioned seeing the corner of the trailer in the left hand mirror !!! will try that next time. Great video and well explained Raul.

Awesome I failed my Shunter training last week after training for 10 hours only they told me I won't make regardless of not having any previous knowledge of trucks. Great video 👍

Thanks for the great explanation, I'm going to go for C+E license and I wanted to have a little shed of light what is to reverse an artticulated truck. Cheers

In Baghdad killed me 😂

passed my class 1 yestarday and freaking out about reversing, did do the reversing test in training but could never get the trailer straight hoping to get a job soon and going to try this cheers

Hi Raul, just passed my CE test, these videos and tips will come in very handy im sure! Cheers mate 👍

And yes a great video with an easy explanation

You make is look so easy. But a good point when you mentioned pushing the trailer, makes sense. Ive got my 2 week practical course coming up in a few weeks, never towed anything in my life, not even a small trailer or a caravan. But i am a confident driver, so expect i will get the hang of it quickly. Got a steering wheel setup and been practising on euro truck simulator, it seems to help. 😀 But obviously, nothing like doing it in real life. Thanks for the vid and the tips.

Brilliant Raul, as usual. Thank you for that video!👍

Greetings from Australia! Great video mate. I've watched a heap of American videos doing backing tutorials, most of them are just showing off their skills and not teaching. You taught very well!

Thanks Raul. Your videos have helped me a lot over the past 10 months. Thanks again

This is helpful Raul l learned a lot from your videos keep it up, bro

Nice and smooth - good to have a procedure you follow, it just makes it so much easier to start from the same consistent position wherever you can. My other pointer for new guys would always be: if you trailer angle is wrong, don't try to fix the problem moving backwards. I see newer drivers throwing the cab left and right trying to fix the angle of the trailer or jack-knifing off the road with the trailer at 90 degrees when a simple shunt forwards to straighten up would fix the problem. I would always try to do as much of my reversing in a straight line as I can and use the forward shunt to pull the trailer into line whenever I can.

i start my training on tuesday, this has helped ALOT. glad i watched it, thankyou for sharing

Great video Raul, Reversing can be such a mystery and a concern for someone considering a Class 1 licence

Second situation Bellshill Morrisons. Very helpful film mate. Thanks

Great explanation. I also love that you have an AC/DC T-shirt👍

Thanks Raul. Really helpful 👌

Rauls way is the way to go....feel the truck and place it where you feel its to be placed and keep it slow...never rush💪

Nice skills Sir, it's funny how you said, heads out like a dog 😂

Brilliant! Thanks!

Brilliant advice my friend this is a very big issue for me and one that is really not covered in the training process . yes there is a reverse manoeuvre but nothing like you are doing here. In time im sure i will have a better understanding . Thanks.

Thank you for the insite. Interesting stuff as always.

Your reversing videos helped me so much. New pass and used your vids to help with a recent assessment. Job secured. Top video.

Great masterclass Raul.

Very helpful 👍

Impressive stuff!….👍

Good advice Raul . Great T shirt

Great advice you make it look so easy

Hey Raul, how you doing? Hope you are well. Just wanted to say thank you so much for this vid, just started driving artics for a job this week and was struggling with the reversing. I still struggle but not as much as i did thanks to you, keep up the great vids and hopefully see you on the road some day 👍

I found it easier to reverse when I changed the term from "Chase the trailer or follow the trailer" to push the trailer around and then push the trailer in. Sometimes you need to push the trailer around then push it in a bit spin the prime mover push it around some more then spin the prime mover and push in some more. Sometimes you need to do this many times to get in. I deliver roofing sheets to residential streets in a full length tri axle trailer when in doubt reverse in my longest reverse was over a kilometer. If you reverse in and get stuck just drive out if you drive in and get stuck it means you will need to call a more experienced driver to get you out or even worse a tow truck.

It was really helpful, thank you! 😎🤩

Great advice, thank you.

Great video as always. I've reversed into some very difficult spaces on Euro Truck Simulator 2 😄

I'm 7 months into Class 1 career , went to a place last week i did in my tanker training and couldn't reverse for sh!t . Last week straight in first time . Practice practice practice and don't be afraid to ask for help .

Great vid Thanks so much for the info. My reversing is shocking... guess its because I dont drive full time. Please keep em coming

You are the best person mate

the examples are very helpful. Thankyou

Great video, good tip is to use as much room as allows also, i see quite a few new drivers coming for assessments that try to 90 degree back into a bay and inevitably dont get it … but with everything its practice i suppose

Hi mate, great video !! Sound advice too . Just taken & passed Heavy rigid I’m looking for all the help I can find . Thanks for sharing you experience and knowledge 👍🇦🇺

Not a trucker but I play trucksims and holy shit is this difficult to do haha. Takes some crazy skill

Raul is magnificent.

Thank you so much for all of your helpful clips from a Newby. Would you consider making a clip where we have the space to straighten up and reverse into a bay & how to setup for such. Thanks John

Getting my class 1 license soon in Romania, this video was really helpful. Thank you :)

Great video👍 If you peeps ever get a nasty blindside reverse turn your mirror out in the Cab so you have a bit of vision. Hope it helps:)

great vid my friend

Good video, you should show more

Ive been learning in that yard today 😊

Thank you 👍👍

Love your video mate, helps alot as a beginner.

I love it thanks 👍👍🙏🙏

"our yard in bagdad" 🤣🤣 great vids.

Great blog mate love it 👍 i always found it harder reverse double Decker trailer the small wheels 🤦‍♂️

Raul, What's your best advice for turning in tight delivery yards, did York Morrisons on Saturday...so tight but managed it after jack knifing the trailer, had a chat with the staff who said its common for drivers to struggle 🤷 it was a chilled trailer with the suzies on the sliding rack...took it very steady when pulling the trailer round

Gud skill of teaching

Great video. Point to note, always nearside reverse if you can. Easier to see in nearest mirror and able to move you head in and around driver window

My brother, what do you mean by you always get your bearings around the middle axle on 8:15❓️ Do you mean that you follow the middle axle until the middle axle is inside the bay or touching the bay❓️ when do you it is time you straighten out❓️ please explain 🙏🏽

I did reversing today for the first time and found it so hard I just could not get it right even with the instructions feel very deflated But hopefully your video will help

QUEEN ELIZABETH : HOLD MY BEER.

Great👍

Very interesting and educative.but,for me I struggled with my straight reverse..I couldn't make it like ruler

is that the Morrisons in Bellshill? I'm new driving the articulated truck and I have a drop there every day, always get a bay between 2 other trucks and I can fell how the other drivers judge me for my lack of experience and multiple attempts to put it at the bay 😅

Thank you for your video I wish I could reverse as well as you. I passed this August my class 1. Have you ever hit or scratched something reversing? and if you did, what is the usual process with your employer? Thanks

Hi guys I m thinking about doing an apprenticeship for C1 licence is it worth it or is better to do it by yourself. Thanks

Do you find that a fridge is easier to reverse than a Superheavy container?

I'm lesrning for my CE licence right now. Let's just say that the truck I use is, at best, the alcoholic grandfather of this one. 🤣 But hey, that's the point I reckon!

I just passed my class c+e with stobart and based at Dagenham Depo I'm just getting stressed regarding the reverse manoeuvre

On your 2nd reverse you said when you see the trailer in your mirror. Was that the nearside mirror and would that be the trailer thats going to be on your left when you're parked? TIA

Never thought i would see you driving a Police Range Rover |||||

Thank you

Hello Raul. I love your videos. Can I ask a question ? I am interested in class 1 and not class 2. I heard that the government relaxed the rules so people can go from the basic car licence to class 1. Is that true and do you recommend that ?

Second reversing is it Bellshill in Scotland?

❤❤❤💪💪👍👍👍👍

Okey only done it in a simulator, disregarding the size and such it is not to bad, the swedish rigs well now that is a different beast and i fail miserably :)

How I reverse is press the brake, select reverse and go.

Thank you.. !! Are you Polish?

How can i have more of your videos

0:44 very common sight? police car towing a caravan? 😱😱😱😱

Hey , Am from USA . What will I earn if i drive truck in the UK as a company driver?

I’ve had my class 1 four years and still cannot reverse properly. It makes me hate my job.

Repetition, repetition, repetition.....but start much further left than you think and straighten up...

Doddle

How does your son not have any toy trucks?? Shame on you Raul 😂

I don't like them days mate steering well heavy
