@@user-nw8vj5kl6w I don't see the connection between your video and this video beyond your video being about trucking. Still, thank you. I thought that the trailer in your video might have been a steer-axle type but it wasn't. Steer axle trailers require a different driving style. Instead of swing wide, drive straight, turn late like regular trailers the driver of a steer axle trailer stays close to the inside of the turn, drives straight, and turns late. Cheers!

First job I had I got a 4-axle short drawbar trailer and a 6x2 MAN TGX26 480 hook truck. Not a lot of reversing but then I had to drive single truck (21-pallet 4x2 Volvo FM330) in Gothenburg to deliver hospital supplies). I never reversed a trailer for 3 months and then the company asked if I was interested in driving a night route with dolly-trailer. Driving a 25.25 meter long truck+dolly-trailer, at night and only 18 years old while being rusty. It was hard but some nice Polish dudes helped me somewhat so I knew how far it was to the next trailer over on the other side. Now I'm 19 years old and drive a semi+semi trailer every day but friday, cuz then I drive a Scania G440 6x2 and a 4-axle trailer with short drawbar. It's almost easier to reverse with drawbar than with a semi. You don't get that awful front wall on your other side when reversing and turning.

@@tntfreddan3138 Thanks for sharing your experiences. Cool! My favourite rig is an 8x4 curtain-side Volvo/Scania box truck with steerable liftable tag axle and a two-axle dolly three axle curtain-side trailer with a liftable steerable tag axle. It's highly maneuverable in tight turn-around locations and the curtain sides make loading/unloading easy. The dual axle dolly is more resistant to getting off track as quickly as single axle dollies. Just my experience. Continued success to you. :)

what near-miss he wasent event close!, he still had 0,5 meters to the trailer, maybe i should record some of the thight spots i get into with my drawbar trailer, then we can talk about near-miss' some of the narrow spots, im close to 0,05 meters, also known as 5 cm, from last axel to fence, building or other obstacle i have to get around. and when things get thight, there is only one thing to do, SLOW DOWN and go out and check if you will clear the obstacle, and its better to go out and check 5 times to many, than 1 time to little.

There was no risk of tail-strike, drawbar trailers don't act that way. When turning, the tractor tail swing will pull the drawbar in a way so the trailer will keep on going straight round the corner. This trailer has no tail swing since the axles are in all the way to the back - with a conventional nordic drawbar trailer would risk a blind side tail swing strike if you do wide turns with them.

In Sweden you have to reverse with a ridgid truck and dolly trailer at the examination, semi is not approved.

That's not correct. I did my driving test with "semi"-trailer. I got my CE-license that way, yet i'm allowed to drive any truck+trailer combination.

@@JoachimGabrielsson You're right. Must have changed since I got my license.

@@lokis7230 The same in Denmark. We even still use manual gear, but I don't know if that's a requirement by law.

Actually, soon as you get the hang of it, you don't wanna be driving anything else. So comfortable on the road due to elegant turn radius and, hauling swap body containers, it is the best option for the driver. Won't give mine up for a tandem, that's for sure...

nah, it doesn’t help at all. You see only false image in the camera that the dolly is always straight, I know, my truck has camera but that only helps when coupling, while reversing you only look at the mirrors, but at night you just have to feel it cuz you see nothing in the mirrors :D

No camera. Use mirrors to see the position of the side wall of the drawbar trailer, the front wall, and the light marker on the far end of the trailer. When you can't see the light marker, but you want the trailer to go that way, be it right or left side in your mirror. Turn your steering wheel towards that problem. If you want the trailer to go left, turn left. To make it go right, turn right. To keep the trailer steady and not wander off, do minor adjustments, and drive forwards if you get a too big of a turn going - Because that will escalate. And watch for the front wall and side wall. When they cover the same % of the mirror from your perspective, thats when you know you have turned enough to left/right. When the code is broken, on how to do it. It's Just as easy, if not easier than reversing a semi. (which is just like reversing a car-trailer for... cars)

Ying Yang Automotive suppose that could work yes haha thank you :-) But first i have to get hold of a minature truck an trailer lol ;-)

Daniel Drives I've just retired from European truck driving, I had an absolutely brilliant career & met some truly nice people. My only piece of advise when it comes to reversing is and remember this " Left is right, right is left, take your time and do it right "

Thank you for the advice, should be easy to remember that. will go to a very good School wich will teach me how to drive a truck very good

Daniel Drives but in this case with an A frame Right is right & Left is left best advise is join a large distribution company and get in & get on, big D.C. Companies operate a Driving Scheme for which you sign a 2 year contract of retention Good Luck

It`s very easy

where did he over steer?

@@darkfangulas he kept on pulling forward bc he over steered. Small adjustments.

@@darkfangulas He made a arse of it

Need to take time to see the reaction of the trailer. Especcially when the A frame is connected quite near the back axle. When the A frame is connected say at 2 meters from the back axle, the effect comes quicker and more strong.

Awesome! You will get the hang on that pretty fast, also good luck with C/CE test :)

Thanks!

@BOYFROMOZ Mostly are semi trailer. We got a few B-double. Others is Rigid up to 8x4 (tag steer)

Almost correct yes, there's no dolly here but it's called an wagon. It's all one unit but the same principle as dolly + trailer.

Well, I'm not a keyboard trucker, buddy and this is how I'd do it on a very bad day. If you think he didn't do anything bad, then just look at how he turns around with that trailer - do you think it does any good for the tyres? Of course not. But as long as you're an employee somewhere, thus you do not have to pay the bills, upyou won't realize that. No doubt, he didn't bend anything, but he is also not a particularly skilled truck driver.

@@M-M-M-M good on you ya hero, not keyboard trucker just a keyboard warrior jog on. Everyones gotta start somewhere we're not all perfect like you 😂😂

@@troymonk1902 the only one being any kind of warrior here is apparently you, bud. You're trying to outsmart everyone, without having any practical knowledge at all. Have fun

@@M-M-M-M haha how am i trying to out smart everyone?? Your the one saying this is how you'd do it on a very bad day 🤷‍♂️ iv pedaled more gear to place's you could only dream of sweetheart, rural transport in New Zealand you'd shit your pants.

​@@troymonk1902 wow, a woolie jumper, I'm impressed you even know what a motor vehicle is. As for you trying to measure yourself, I won't even start, this message of yours just proves the point I've made in my previous comment. You're here to be the warrior you're so up against. :-)

Semi trailer + Tractor is the most common in Europe, but in Scandinavia Truck + Wagon is also very common compared to the rest of Europe

Tom he made a complete arse of it must have been his first time

Its called a A frame takes time to learn to reverse them

Yup, figured that out now that i have couple thousand hours with the trailer

Pompidouch ok

"Easier" is subjevtive. Lowering the 2nd axle will make the trailer turn less, because the two stiff axles are dragging. Because of this, the trailer will not run away (as in turning too much to recover / "jackknife") as easily. On the other hand, you need more movement from the truck to turn the trailer. I personally prefer reversing with the lift axle lifted if the weight on the trailer allows me to.

It looks easy but its so hard

The light turns red when the truck or trailer is being loaded or unloaded.

this was filmed on a saturday

Serhii Kyrylov лошара с первого раза не может пустой прицеп поставить 🤦‍♂️

Я смотрю все умеют таким прицепом управлять? Это вам не фура, которой как на машине задний ход лёгкий

That's not the way. Takes to much time and visibilty ain't ideal. If you have to do that at every stop, your days are getting to long, plus you can't see what is on the left back angle of the trailer.
