Almost makes you wonder how much they really want their freight when they build cluster fuck docks like this.

Well done buddy. When I was driving in Europe there a loads of places like that, especially London. Originally built to take a horse cart now you have to go in with an artic and back in sometimes on the blind side! Very good control and got the job done. Awesome!!

20-year trucking veteran here, that's a tight-ass dock. I don't see being able to pull that off with a Pete 379. Guy did it reasonably quick with probably a few less pull-ups than I would have made.

I surprised my trainer the other day when I did my first unassisted back into a hole at a truck stop while he was asleep. should've seen the look on this guys face, man was he shocked!

Damn. Nice job. Now do it with a sleeper!

Some of us are trying to learn and this video is great for that purpose. I see no ego anywhere

I have the upmost respect for truck drivers, day cab, sleeper, doubles, flatbed, etc.. some people can't back up a prius, to manuever these big rigs, and do it safetly, and making it look easy,

As a trucker, I've gotta say this isn't an ideal situation for a new driver out on their own to back into with a lack of experience. The layout could have been a lot better, say a 45 degree angle to back into the dock as a secondary option. Either way, the tractor trailer would be blocking everything there

One thing that will make this "impossible" dock go even easier is to slide the tandems all the way to the back of the trailer. Having the "overhang" at the back works against you at those angles because the back is moving but the tandems are not. That's a frustrating scenario for a driver. Lots of docks/warehouse areas were built back when all they had were 48' trailers. Now 53' and 57' with a conventional semi makes it really tough on drivers and is just an accident waiting to happen.

i love the "yep, thats right, THAT JUST HAPPENED!!!" expression he gave when he got out of the truck when all was said and done!! great job trucker!!!

Guess whoever designed the place only had straight trucks in mind and not tractor trailers. Good job Driver

Ever see a mudslide in California on the news? Enough rain soaking and that hillside could give way and take the truck with it. That could lose the truck, the load and possibly the driver! All I am saying is that we (drivers) are often asked to do things that are unreasonable. Bet that company CEO respects his earnings more than the truck driver. Respect and consideration people!

Trying to get my permit right now based the basic knowledge and the air brakes today just have to get the combination done hoping tomorrow and with that permit i will have a start date and be truckin here soon i can't wait im 22 and have been wanting to do this for a very long time im excited. always wanting to learn new things i just hope i get in with a good knowledgeable trainer who is will to take the time to help me learn and be the best i can at driving.

Mad Skills! Awesome man.

nice job! nice truck too

@stevefromPA2 Was the Shoprite you speak of on Rt. 22?

@fratelemeu ..That is a good question.At the time I had driven for 26 years and when I came too the UK with my wife, I found out that I needed too everything again and I just did not have the want to do so. So I decided to try warehousing (Hate it).So I never bothered.I spent time unloading and loading and sat in a few trucks and i found the want too be back in the cab.So after awhile, the driving came too life again since we are returning too Canada, i found I needed too get back into the cab.

Cliff on one side, 90 degree parking on the other. Very nice.

THATS WHY MY HAT ALWAYS GOES OFF TO TRUCKERS!

@fratelemeu .yeah,but it keeps up your skills and shows your ability goes beyond those who won't do the job. Personally,if I was the owner of that company ,I'd call your boss and compliment you on your skill.Trucking is a never ending class room of learning and you should never stop learning driving trucks until the day you retire. It's not your fault the trucks are bigger and i hear they may get bigger yet with up to 58 to 60 footers possibly coming...Nice job...very nice job..

Man, Your frecking awsome. Very Very nice

i know....many drivers refused to go there

tight space. big trailer.. nice job

@LT1HILLINGHOE i was just thinking the same thing..I had less space than that with a ditch..poles along the ditch and 2 trailers on either side at a angle with half a dock to bump.. at a ShopRite in NJ...30 mins to get in the hole...the shop rite ppl made me wait 5 hrs cause every guy that came there with a sleeper either tore down the telephone lines..went into a ditch or had to have a Shop rite driver with a day cab hook to their trailer and back it in,,

Just got my CDL recently. I had trouble with backing up. You just gotta go slow and take your time. Good luck!

fine job,that takes skill on so many levels...

Its a good thing he is running a day cab, if it was like my 780 with the bunk it would never go in there, they would be bringing there stuff out and loading it with a pallet jack I can tell you that. That dock was built when trailers were 40 feet.

Short wheel base day tractors such as this one and 53 ft trailers make things very easy to back like this. With a few tries and small corrections. But now a days most scenarios like the are done with otr trucks with long wheel bases that have no turning radius. Making it nearly impossible even with the tandem slid all the What forward.

Excellent driving driver. I live in Jersey

Nice job.

Mad skills good job

did he give up or did he make the dock?

@canadiantimberwolf1 why didn't u get a job as a truck driver in UK?.....I would love to work in Europe

good job..ihave had back ins like that a pain in the ass but we get er done...well done thou

we have hells kitchen maybe it's time for a "truck drivers hells delivery" I bet millions would watch worldwide

niiice man u got skills

@fratelemeu I always do 53' footer. The only thing that you have to watch is that your tractor rolls backwards onto solid edge.

Excelente, muy berraco para parquear en es lugar tan complicado 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Pretty skillful if you ask me. I would not have even attempt some shit like that. Wasn't there a bunch of other docs there opened and available? Crazy

did he have his trailer tandems slide all the way forward?

HOw is long this trailer?

What's your DOT #?

Who in the world thought up a dock design like that with a ditch on one side and a pile of trash next to it. My goodness. Good driver. Most people would have had to call a wrecker to get out of the ditch.

you got to be kidding..next to the edge like that is insaine skills....

Must be why dispatch is always sending 53' trailers into NYC alleys to deliver one pallet of bubble wrap.

This company has the right idea old FLD awesome sound

Only a good n excellent truck driver can do that in one shot

excellent driving skills

is that an fld?

Good job!!!!!!!!!

WTH?? Do smaller trucks dock on the bays here normally or otherwise this must be a really bad design docking area for artics??

Good job, but, you may have been there before. Try NYC docks!

that takes damn skill

Things buildings have been there a long time and only the trucks have gotten bigger. I remember going into places when i could back in and the whole truck was in a straight line and you could walk around the front. Then in the early 80's they brought in the 42' and then 48's and you were no longer straight and crawling under the trailer. Eventually, they will have too modify the buildings, but in the mean time...we just have too get on with it...No sense whining, nothing changes ..yet.

Well Done !

good job man!:)):))

that some good backing

good job

Tare omule, mi-e dor de fazele alea, o data mi sa intamplat sa da cu spatele vreo suta de. Metri in forma de S si dupa sa-l rup Asa, da da new jersey, ...

I subbed for the fact that this video was fucking awesome and you sir are a master at backing up a 60+ foot vehicle Congratulations on this epic fucking video sir.

what a freaking boss!!!!

Nice job ..

Holy tight turn batman!

THAT'S WHY I DRIVE A FLATBED.. WE AINT GOT THEM DANG PROBLEMS...LOL

Hell, wheres the guard rail like you have at Poland Springs? This driver has it easy!

@neemguy81 most diesel trucks have turbo because without it they wouldn't make enough hp to haul trailers, loads etc

I would have tried it in a sleeper truck.. I've never driven a day cab, but I do know they turn almost as tight as a yard dog... but, I know I would have made that in a sleeper truck, would have taken me a bit, but I could have.. Had this one pickup at Nestle in... Milwaukee a few years back. Driving my W900L, and had a dock sitting between two trailers with a brick wall in front of us (like that hill on this vid). I got it in, and you couldn't see the bottom of the wall over my hood. lol

I wonder how many truckers fall down that mountain when trying to park here :)

you are good my friend.

its always about finding that sweet spot to cut it in, now isnt it... Nice job btw...

custom ARI sleepers are restricted to shorter trailers, such as the 90" sleepers, DOT regs only alow you to be 70ft total length...for a reason. Thats why most of the custom sleepers you see are moving companys with 48' drop deck vans. Moving guys only go home every 6-7 monthes lol, they need the big sleepers.

Nice

bom trabalho, parabéns!

what happened at 2:50? I wanna c the unedited video.... before I can compare this to the "backing up in cincinnati ohio with vtl transport."

that depens on how much space u got

@gerberangel No it doesn't. The docks are set up for 53' trailers and sleeper cabs. The day cab has all the advantages, it's shorter,and has greatly improved visibility,.

damn good job

Damn that shipper

reusit back up.foarte frumos.

Place I go to every other week in Montreal... I WISH I had a day cab, instead I'm in a 240" Classic. after docking (fully jacked @ 90deg) I drop the landing gear to stabilize the traile, and keep it offa my fenders.

these guys are good

awesome.

Man, doing this with the Slope of Doom underneath your right tire. Not too shabby.

BEAST!!

how come european trailers have 3 wheels on each side and americans only have 2 or does the american trailers have double stacked wheels?

bravo frate

it's a good job

Reminds me of Newark... If you can make it there you can make it anywhere.

North American tractor trailers are dual-wheeled on each side. The 3 wheels on each axle tractor trailer is not seen on the roads of NA. Perhaps this is due to the fact Europe is smaller and the roads/buildings/alleys are more tighter.

nice

this guy hitting a freaking 90 on that edge like that my god would have just called that one in and pulled the stuff off myself!!!

great job at a treacherous location

HOW DO BACK UP A TRUCKS 90. ?

@Ragweed66 when i was hauling cars..there is a Nissan Dealership in Somerset Nj...on rte 22..Every car carrier isnt the same..ramp skids out my tractor was close 85ft long. 22 is a 3 lane highway with drivers doing 60 to 80 mph..you have to come to the dealership on the right stop in the highway , jack ur tractor left across the other 2 lanes stopin highway traffic then back in.. understand that u have the whole dealership entrance 90% blocked..I had a manager tell me he wanted my trailer

Wait, did he do it? Looked like he stopped short. Thats the problem with the big sticks and small lots.

I like backing in on the 90 it's a challenge and I like the challenge but that drop would've scared the piss out of me

good job,,,little differant if you got a sleeper but it can be done,,,,,lol

pfff i can do that. Here, hold my beer.

Good job. A new guy would be crapping his pants.

Let's see you try it, I'm sure you would have drove the rig off of the cliff XD
