This Trucking Game may not be a view from inside the cab, but it's the most realistic physics that a truck makes where you get to understand how to truck operates in reverse. American Truck Simulator (ATS)and European Trucking Simulator 2 (ETS2) are the best trucking games that you get, and I recommend that you play them, but my game is created for people to just get used to reversing a trailer.
I have heard from so many users that truck schools across the country use my game and use my videos to show their students how to back up.

13 years of driving around Chicago. My advice, do it fast like a bandaid. Just make the turn using the entire road. And I mean all of it. But do it quick enough that no one even has time to cut you off on the inside. Works like a charm.

@douglasmijangos3327 Жыл бұрын

I know that sounds safe but you are pretty much getting into 4 intersections instead of just 1 .. so I feel like it would be maybe more dangerous.. I’ve driven a bit in cities.. Dallas .. LA .. Salt Lake City .. Chicago.. Portland.. and they’re all different but I realized that a lot of people see you and try to get out of your way or give you space to get by safely too .. or you can wait and turn when it’s safe to go ..

When I drove OTR I started out on the east coast and I'm from the midwest. Never drove a rig before and I learned driving a rig really quick... Lol. That east coast sucks and those 4 wheelers are nuts. Watch those mirrors at all times, especially on right turns. What I learned was to hug that curb with the trailer keep those idiots from trying to get past you during a turn. On right tight turns I turned into the curb, then swung left just enough to make room for the turn keeping my trailer on the right as far as possible. If you can drive that damn east coast you can drive just about anywhere. Good luck to all you new drivers, stay safe and watch those mirrors and keep them clean. Your mirrors are your best friend.

His advices are good but never think the turn that you already know it woul be always the same like he said never take your eyes away from everything while performing a turn. I woul say never move faster than you can see.

Shultze and Burch at 35th & Racine is where I usually drop and hook. The trailers we pull are mostly pieces of shit. Most of which cannot have the tandems slid back and forth.. The right turn from 35th S to Ashland W is very challenging when your tandems are all the way to the back.

Thats interesting now for me they taught us to turn right when your body's shoulder reach the top corner of the curb where it goes straight. It works great but just gotta be cautious as some top corners are tricky or at an obtuse angle which means turns even later or narrow so you gotta turn left then right

At a turn like the ones at 9:37, what should I do if there is opposing traffic turning left (especially another semi-truck) since you have to swing wide to not cut into the leftmost left turn lane? I'm thinking I should wait until no opposing traffic is turning left, but I may be wrong.

@danstafford6536 4 ай бұрын

To make a right turn its best to use a Jug Handle turn... the trailer will block the four-wheeler from getting between you and the curb.

@autk 3 ай бұрын

Stay straight turn late...and get all the real estate you can in setting up before you turn and when you see the opportunity...also if you see you're blocked sit still with your signal on honk and motion that guy stopped across the intersection to come on out, you have to wait for him in tight situations sometimes, no other way to make some of those right handers especially in older cities. I've gotten out with the hazards on before to splain it... everyone can wait, or you will twist metal and really screw up everything.

Hmm,I think maybe aiming for the nearest curb or just before the curb for the left hand turn and just following it makes sense to me rather than going straight past and then adjusting for the curb. As for the right aiming just before the yellow line in the left side could be good enough. The trailer from a certain point of view ends up where you are looking but just in a delayed manner.
