• How to reverse b-doubl...
The trailer used is the b-double from halmqvist.
This video tries to enlighten a bit those who still feel confused about how to back up a b-double. I still don't master the technique at all, but I did my best to do a backing where you could see how it works. Then it's up to you to practice and play, and of course deal with other positions, as reversing is not always as easy as in this case. But hey, if you know the basics, you only have to practice.
I usually use interior view, but for doubles I just can't, because you don't see the trailers at all. In real life you can take your head out of the window or move it so you see more in the mirror, but in this game you just can't see the second trailer sometimes, so to do it better, I recommend outside view.
The music is from "Gone in 60 seconds".
First song is Bad Karma (ZzHck3YI3xA) and second one is Moby Flower (hJkm5R40Hj0)

this is the best explanation I find on KZfaq so far, there's another one with over one million views with lots of non sens because his playing with a toy truck, and is so easy to be the master when you push a toy truck by hand.

@Irreo Thanks. I've been a B double driver for about 3 weeks now. Getting better at reversing each day and I'm loving it. To comment on what you said about having no idea that we could apply this to real life, well mate you've done real well in explaining the terminology of pushing each trailer from the prime-mover to the 2nd trailer. thats what i thought about when i first attempted to reverse for the first time. THUMBS UP!! CHEERS

Hi, thanks for comment, appreciated. The game is 18 Wheels of Steel Haulin. It's pretty old, and cheap nowadays, but it's good. Anyway looks like they are working on a newer american truck simulator, but still no news about dates... I expect 1-2 years.

Thanks very much. Going for my MC in a B double and your video is a great learning tool. I thought I had Sussex out in my head and seeing your video just helped to confirm the basic principle of reversing. Great job!

@Irreo 15 жыл бұрын

lol, I used to do that a lot too... just uncouple the cab and push them to their place. Now I try to back, most times I fail or get a backing I don't like at all, but a few times I get it done. Thanks for comment, appreciated.

@Irreo 15 жыл бұрын

@volvoboy1: Thanks for your comment. I'm sorry but that's not exactly like that. The truck cab can go anywhere or face anywhere, the second trailer is just going to be pushed by the first one, so it's direction and turning will vary depending on the position of the first trailer. Is not the same a simple backing like the one on this video with some always-the-same moves, or a more complex backing.

@Irreo, Again I thank You for this enlighten Video. as I have have just started B double work in Brisbane Aus. The first time attempting to reverse in a straight line, I over swung the prime mover and (making the vehicle look a little like an S lol) and quickly remembered this vid and others that I have seen here on KZfaq.. and realised not to oversteer to much. It worked I can reverse pretty Ok for a beginner haha. I've yet to reverse in the hard spots. Not looking forward to them. Cheers..

Thanks for your comment. I wasn't stuck at that moment, it was part of the process. Place second trailer in position, then correct first trailer using cab. When I got really stuck without noticing it (until too late) is at 4:19, where I pushed too much against wall.

Thanks for comment man. Yeah you're right, but it was just some theory to show the basics. Also, I'm not able to park a double with other trailers around... And I guess it works as you say most of the times, you just go releasing trailers and parking them one by one.

Thanks man, appreciated. If you like to play fair (I mean without doing stupid things), like stoping at red lights, parking correctly on hotels/gas stations, etc., best thing you can do is disable police. Just set to "0" the g_police parameter in the config.cfg and you're done. I drive with that. I also like to turn lights off without tickets. Also good when reversinig using oposite lane...being chased for doing your job! Have fun.

@IcoFarfus Thanks for comment man, appreciated. No, I never drove a truck (hope to do is some day..). The double is not that hard if you do it slowly, thinking before moving, and of course with practice. Anyway in game is much harder because you can't take your head out of the window... so "cheating" a bit watching the outside is not so bad.

@Irreo 12 жыл бұрын

@chops5845 If I recall correctly, the truck is in stock game. About the doubles, the game includes doubles but are much shorter. These on the video are a download. Also, game uses double, while this is a b-double.

@Irreo 15 жыл бұрын

It's a mod. There are lots all over the Internet. Try looking in Truckpol. This one is from Halmqvist if I recall correctly.

Thanks for your comment, appreciated. I always drive with inside view, but I used to back doubles from outside (you can't get head out of window or get out of the truck ingame). But lately I'm trying to do it from inside, a bit "blindly" sometimes... But not success at all, lol. Maybe I do another video with a normal reverse with a double.

I hope I never have to back a b-dub or a rtrain or any of the like. I drive here in the states and I'll just stick with my ole' 53' single thank you very much. It's better to deal with the off tracking going forward than all that swinging and mess backing up. I don't think alot of guys here even back doubles or trips, they have alot of yard dog (special trailer moving docking tractors) guys for that. I enjoyed that though, I'd like to try it once in real life.

@mikenz88 Hi man. The trailer is a mod, made by a third party. Mods are just addons for the game (can be trucks, trailers, and even the map). I can't tell about this one because I can't remember, but you can find plenty of them on different forums. Check Glenn52 site, or Truckpol Forums, where you can find specific sections for mod download. But be warned, you'll need patience to read, practice and maybe fail before being able to succesfully run some mods (others are easy). Good luck.

Thanks, I'm glad it helped. And yeah, it can be a bit nightmare depending the place... the key is to think first, slow and gentle moves, and of course exterior view... with interior view you can't see the trailers so you are doomed unless you're a complete genius.

Join the TruckPol forum, people there uses to post trucks and trailers. Search on old topics, I'm sure you'll find lots of b-doubles and other stuff.

@Irreo 15 жыл бұрын

Well.. yeah, basically that's the idea, but the difference is that you have to "think" a little more, so you guess things before they happen. Meaning, to direct the first trailer to a position you first have to direct the cab, and if it's completely on the other side, while you do the turning (while reversing) you can get a mess. Sorry don't know how to explain at all, you'll get what I mean when doing lots of reverses.

@Irreo You are both right, When pulling more than one trailers they often do wear tyres out quicker than usual. but as far as the theory goes here You've it justice Just needed more space. BTW if i get a chance to record myself reversing a B double, I'll try and post it.I have Pictures on my phone. Would I have to get permission from the company to post their truck with their logo on them?

@Irreo 15 жыл бұрын

I would appreciate a bit more detail on that, because as far as I know, I didn't do anything so brute. I saw something similar in real b-double and b-triples, that's how I "learnt" the theory on this. If the second trailer was a trailer and not a semi (front and back axles), then I would agree, but in this case I didn't do any turn bigger than 90º, and that's not something unusual when backing semitrailers I guess...

Well you will never have to back up a double, cause it's impossible, unless the set up is flawless. UPS, Conway, FedEx don't do it, they just drop the rear and then so on. Plus there are so many pivot points I think my teacher said like 4-5 points.
