as a truck driver was 28 years Driving Experience 4 million miles accident-free certified I can tell you that backing from the offset side is not easy. for a new student who did a relatively good job the main point in being take your time and do not get in a hurry you will do fine

I just started offset backing Thursday at my school, and for someone who has never driven a combination vehicle, it was whooping my ass lol. But I've been watching g a lot of videos such as this and have a better understanding of where I was going wrong. So come Tuesday when I go in, I'm feeling pretty confident that I'm going to knock it out. Thanks for posting.

This shit hard af to me. I'll be working on it all day tomorrow

For you're 1st time EVER being in a truck and backing up. I'd say you did excellent! Great job!

let me just say that when i posted this video i knew there would be good comments and of course bad comments, as with any video. However, i posted this video so that i could later view it once i have some experience and to see my progression from when i first started driving with absolutely zero experience. This is how i motivate myself to become a better and safer driver because i can see my progression in this career. To those who had good comments, thank you. And to those who had bad comments, thank you. everyone learns differently and sees every situation in a different way. you have to find something that motivates you in your own way. this is mine. cheers.

girl... I don't care what anybody says, u NAILED IT!!! 😙

This is it!!! I take my test tomorrow and I am nervous af I been bombing my offsetting in the practice range this is the best video I’ve seen thank you!!

thank you, for posting this video this a good example to learn specially for a first time driving a tractor trailer, as of people think it is not easy.. even i had mistakes when i was training and even tho i passed the roadtest im still learning everyday, and learning to drive a combination vehicle makes you a safer driver actually.. :)

I think you did a very good job - as you say (and what the haters do not seem to comprehend), you have never done this before, never been in a tractor/trailer so in my eye you did perfect. Of course, we should not forget all the really perfect, faultless and experienced armchair drivers who can obviously do this better than anyone in the world.

Gonna take my drivers test today . Nervous asf about the offset. This video is helping me .

gotta start somewhere, all the big operators out there had to learn the same

This will help me on my test tomorrow good job continue to accomplish goals in life

why the hate the driver did good

I've been training for weeks still can't get this skill fully mastered

Very much useful practically , sawly to many drivers

Awesome video thanks for sharing.

You guys are brave keeping your cars parked there

They should install mirror in the BACK 👍

Thanks for sharing Sir

Good for you Miss Taylor!!!!! This manuever gave me another correction tool to use!!!!!

a lot of know-it-alls on the computer, used to be the tv room in the old days.

For a student that was pretty good. You used your pull ups and your get out and looks. Overall u got that big ole thing in the hole safetly

I really needed to see this video im in school right now for cdl and am having problems with off setting and alley docking if anyone can help please respond

Offset was my fav maneuver in cdl school

Thank you for pisting this video... you did very well my friend and what i respect and appreciate the most is this video depicts real life situations... such as the placement of the trailer and actuality recordimg the mistake.... maam i am a diesel tch amd dont back many trailers because most 97% of the time tractors and trailers are seperated before coming into thw shop

A short pull up each time after seeing we’re trailer tandems are would have helped a lot . Remember four-way flashers on for safety, I’m backing up.

If they haven’t already done so they should install cameras in the back of the truck like they do in cars. I never felt comfortable driving a car I was to scared what really gave me the courage to start driving was my truck I felt so much safer and comfortable in my mountaineer truck.

Very encouraging to see 😊

He oversteering he did good holding his trailer to drift in the offset lane because my classmate had the same problem he used to hold his bend too long and his trailer used to end up in straight back lol.u aiming for ur offset lane once u see ur trailer bend to the lane than look out ur other mirror cuz it will tell u where to turn than u give it a lil right left action at that point its straight line backin and everybody should know how straight back go if u dnt offset should be least ur problems like my instructor told us lol

brake light out at cdl school? somebody didnt do pretrip i guess!

That's nice

is it just me or does the width look bigger than its supposed to be

very good job, keep at it myself also is a first time driver

when not sure always get out an look take your time not a race beginner

I do believe that you're going to have to call maintenance on that one.

Good job.

PULL UP IS MUST.

Hey hey there's a brake light out on the passenger side trailer.

You can not see the driver's front wheels and the shadow kills most of the view of the tractor wheels. It is best viewed from the side of the truck that the driver is backing to and in front of the vehicle so you can see his front wheels turn.

Bobby - I won't dare do it in 4 wheel drive

good job

Brake light out is nothing. one of the trucks we used in the range in my school only had 13 tires (with 14 wheels), and the driver's side door latch didn't work from the outside. You had to reach through the window to open it. but the trucks we took on the road and tested in were in good shape.

Either he's mirrors off or he's turning too sharp. Because it was too far to the right on the left all set and now it's too far to the left on his offset could be the mirrors or something. Because that does play with your judgment.

Our instructor doesn't like us getting out of the truck. If you can see the cones, there's no reason to get out.

I just got my Cdl , I am sure not easy backing up

you're awesome

arent you supposed to always turn the trailer towards the driver side when backing? thought the handbook says that

I thought about going for my CDL

GET OUT AND LOOK!!!

You might wanna get your right brake light fixed before you go for you test

Anyone notice the lights on the trailer? He failed pre trip inspection.

I also come to drive in America

You really just have to practice and get a feel for the sequence and execution of the steps.

Clipped the front end of a real truck with that backing. Good this is only a cone.

GOAL √

good

nice

heb ze geen stuurfouten zien maken, alleen in plaats van verder achteruit willen rijden in dezelfde positie wat vooruit rijden en dan in dezelfde positie verder achteruit blijven rijden. volgens mij verstaat ze de theorie

It does not look bad

1 brake light isn't working

that one headlight 10-4

Alcoa TN ?

Hello to all , i want to draive a truck because ilike this job

Bison trucking backin

Hello sir how are you i want training havy driving training and driving lessons please reply thanks you so much

Where is this school at in tn how much does it cost and how long

eso lo hago hasta con mis hojos cerrados

I thought you aren't suppose to get out while backing up?

Light is out wtff

Hi

That was a fail. Hit the cone and out of bounds.

Lmfao Your brake light is not working??? Quality training for 👍 👍

🤔

To far to right.

"NEVER being behind the wheel"? you exaggerate much. You have to drive forward before you can back. and you have to straight back before you can do any of the other backing maneuvers. *facepalm*

STOP TRUCK SET PARKING BRAKE RUN TO CAMERA GUY PUNCH HIM WALK BACK TO TRUCK START OVER

4 ways flashers ar er not working

I would not waste my money at this place so far I can see three things wrong ,, # 1 he has a break light out # 2 did he learn how to a walk around CIRCLE CHECK !!!! #3 why show this to new drivers ?? teach them how to set there trailer up first for a good back up

anybody on here talking shit must not be able to preform this move it is not as easy as it looks.

WRONG exiting a truck! automatic fail

For more backing help check out this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orOan5x63Z64haM.html 😁👌👍👍👍

Fail

This no driver

FAIL

Painful to watch

And to add to my previous comment i do not have a cdl ive grown up around trucks my dad has been in dirt work growing up so i know the concept of maneuvering its drilled and drilled daily... and then!?!??! When i get in the seat it just seems to kinda snowball into a series of mistakes due to like your situation improper placement " the set up " of the trailer... and then people starimg yellimg talking shhh and to top it off other trucks getting traffic hammed because of my errors ..... but in those moments when your freaking out and all shakey.... tell yourself to snap out of it calm down and get out and look to assses the situation make the correction and get the task complete.... then move on.... and remember do not react to anyones negative comments or jeers... they hate themselves not you! I have to tell myselfe that almost every day to keep my sanity
