When I started driving big trucks, my Dad always told me, "Don't think about it as backing up Son,, Learn to drive it both directions!" So true, Great job!

Great content. I'm retired , drove quite few yrs young man, I love seeing dedicated young folks carrying on the tradition. Kudos to your backing dude,it ain't always easy peasy in a big ole stretch to put that Dane where they want it, but hey ur gettin er done! Love ur rig. Drove Freightliners,and KW's back in my days ( mid,early 90's), yeah,lots changed my man. You got a sweet ride. You take care of it, it'll take care of you. This ole disabled retired vets got your six young man. Get it done! Subscribed for a while now, it's cool to watch the young ones "making their mark" in the industry. God, I sure do miss it. Be blessed. "The Patriot Nomad" down here in sunny ☀️😎 HOT 🔥 Deland Florida. C'ome Oooon.

Practice make perfect. The day you stop learning is the day ya quit goal.

I don’t care what anybody says, you’ve got skills man and I have mad respect for all of you truckers.

Say what you want i drive a 389 with a 280 wheelbase hats off to ya everybody who says youre oversteering has never driven a long nose slow turning truck

I love when they tell you in the wharehouse.” Everybody else does it!” LOL!

A lot of haters let the boy work. No harm done

Nice video dude! I love the truck, sound, manual transmission and i LOVE different camera angles. Thanks for keeping it real and showing the whole process of backing up and not some fake macho bs. It's hard to find something real in today's fake World. Great job 👍

Lil' Bubba, you sure got a perdy truck 🚛 there, but you ought to put a bigger sleeper on it! Anyway my name is Randy Hopkins, and I used to drive them old things! Started out with a brand spanking new '74 Peterbilt 359, 300 in. wheelbase w/a 120 in. custom walkthrough sleeper! It came with a 3406-B Cat, w/600 hp, and a Super-10 transmission! Nothing fancy like what you got, but it would get me up the hills without dropping a gear! My dad helped me buy it, and even though it was designed for showing with all the bells, and whistles, being a carpenter he decided one day to put a full solid oak floor in it, which a lot of people raved about, plus it got a lot of awards at several of the shows I attended, plus some extras like a year free fuel, and oil, some free meals, and a little extra cash 🏧, which helped out a lot! Anyway they used to call me "The Blue Diamond", or at least that's the handle I used to go by back in the '70's, '80's, and '90's! Anyhoo, I'm from Ft. Worth, Texas (Cowtown), not Funkytown like some people think, but you have yourself a good one, and keep it between the lines, and don't go collecting no road tickets!...😂 At least not like I used to! They ain't no good at truckstops anyway!...😂👍

Hmm! Yes I pulled a Reefer too. I've backed into some tight spots also in my day. What I liked about my shaker, the stacks were in the back of sleeper! Amazing video though driver! Be safe #keepontruckin 🙏🇺🇸👍

Respect to you sir. I just got 2020 w9. I was so used to backing cascadias backing a truck with stacks and a nose is definitely a skill.

ALL THESE SUPER TRUCKERS COMMENTING ON THE MANS BACKING BUT THE MAIN IMPORTANT THING IS HE DIDNT HIT ANYTHING

I'm not a trucker but wish I was, still a joy to watch.

Bro I swear every time I watch one of your videos, it just fuels my soul to hurry up and finish my training and one day become a full time owner operator and maybe even start my own small A1 quality trucking company.

Give me 40 acres I’ll turn this rig around 👊

Re-watching these vids in 2022. man these are some of the best trucking vids on the youtubes! Really miss your trucking videos! 😑😑

I'm, not gonna judge, American truck sim has me struggling sometimes lol

Looked up to y'all a good while now me an my boys are out here getting it done all 4 of us are going in on putting a shop up on some land I got an while being company drivers building our dream trucks stay blessed brother stay loaded

I’m a bus operator in Chicago, no trucking experience but great video and backing techniques 💯. And the black’n mild has my approval

Those are some long days. Thanks for taking the time to get some of it on video for us to enjoy.

Good job checking over everything during your stop at Kwik Trip. Keep up the good work.

For starters I definitely gotta give you credit and commend you for driving a stretched frame doing local deliveries. It would be a lot more hassle then it’s worth to me.. But you handle it well.. If there’s one piece of advice I would give; is to watch on your over steer.. Let the trailer do it’s thing first before you start turning so much.. Remember it takes about 4 ft. before you actually see the move that your trying to make

Beautiful set up man. Taking pride in what you do 👌🏽 keep on rollin driver

Hey 👋🏾 young fella that’s a nasty pits you’ve got there when my 1st ride in a tractor was a 6 speed Cracker Jack bet ya don’t know what that is my partner last truck was a black cherry Peter car that’s what we use to call me back in the day enjoy time fly’s when you’re having fun 💪🏾💪🏾

I’m not even into semis and I watch your videos. I love your build man

Lookin forward to you gettin back on the road com’on!

I know it’s been awhile but I still come back and watch your old stuff. Hope you get back on the road soon driver!

I put miles on an 18 wheeler myself for some years and backed into many warehouse docks that I believe were built in the horse and carriage days so I say your tight docks are very roomy !!! Practice will make perfect 👌

Thanks for keeping that trucker style alive. Nice job on maintenance and upkeep 👍. My log truck could use your detailing skills.

Lovin the rear mirror pov. Keep up the amazing work and be safe brother. Definetly my favorite channel. So happy I found this

VERY MOTIVATIONAL MAN! F*** THE HATERS KEEP UP THE GOODWORK!! 💯💪🏾

WORKIT BROTHER YOU ARE GOOD. ARTICULATED!

Holy man that's Sauk Rapids MN at 20:50, I live 5 minutes from there. Love the truck and trailer, safe travels!

Nice truck. One time I ran to pick up my first load of the day. I was going to swap trucks and haul a 57”. Getting there the tractor was not, it was 40 minutes away. So not to miss the unload I grabbed the trailer and left. When I docked the driver next to me got out and looked. My bumper was dead even to his steer tires of a England. See I had a cabover. Yes I told him a little long.

Watching my dad when i was able to go with him on trips it was a learning experience. He taught me alot. I wish he wasn’t hauling tanker otherwise I could go with him. I learned alot. Its not too bad on American Truck Sim.

Glad someone is out here maneuvering a stretched out truck. Longest wb I drove was 290 and now there's 330+ inches out there lol always been a dream to own one. They'll definitely make you a better driver, kinda have to be

I learned something new that high school never taught me

LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE, SKILL AND PATIENCE, TRUCKING THATS A PROFESSION THAT DESEVERS MUCH RESPECT, THANK-YOU .....STAY SAFE MEN...THANKS FER TAKKIN US ALONG COWBOY ..

wow dude i never thought about how cautious you dudes have to be. You a damn good driver!

Hello from San Antonio Texas that motor is purrrrrriiiinnnnggggg bruh sounds good great video I’m Mexican from south Texas

Just found your channel today..I love it..keep it up my friend

but we........are professionals......YOU ROCK DUDE

i know that thing is hard to slide over like that,, the lengh the problem, great job, Driver

I'm from MN and Kwik Trip is the only place I fuel. 😎🤙

The train reaction had me dying 😂

That is a bad ass truck

The trick to not wrecking your mud flaps is by cutting a slit from the bolt hole to the top so when a flap gets jammed it'll just pull out without damaging the flaps.

Also run a 300. Gets fun with the trailer axles all the way back too!

I'am Impress With This Youngman He's His Own Mechanic'Driver As Well He's Pushin A #2005 Stretch I Gather Peter Bilt

Young man , you can drive in both directions and ya got a really nice rig !!!

Keep up the good work brotha. Truck looks super clean and nice 👍

I’m a trucker, love it !!!

So many haters out there...maybe due to the fact that this guy seems to start his trucking years straight from the top? Also, some people have no idea about what is cool.

Just like "Morris the cat , "once you got your whiskers thru, , You got 'er licked!"👍😎

Salute champ!! That's some good trucking!!

Subbed. Man I miss my 04 379xh. Sold it, wasn't CARB compliant. Really enjoy watching you throw the hood around. Truck specs?

Driving a big shiny truck don't make a truckdriver.been driving for 47 years and still learn things.wish I could know everything like you in a few months.lol.

That long shaft shifter brings all the ladies to the truck stops

Bad ass Rig nice too look at not so fun to back up and manouver around not so considerate 4 wheelers , I'm 35 been driving for last 14 years, years of backing up and tight spots will take a toll on a driver mentally and physically. Nowadays it's all about how I'm gonna make it as easy convenient and comfortable, keep at it and stay safe out there!

Most important is watch the road what is in front of you and watch your mirrors when driving and definitely anytime backing .

Trying to back and spot a long Wheelbase tractor like yours takes some getting used too. In my Alabama math I figure that for every 12 inches of wheelbase on your tractor it's like adding 4 feet to your trailer.

Interesting, your second drop at Maneas meats. I shop there couple times a year. I live across the river in Sartell.

Lots of them 359 and 379 Pete’s and w 900L KW’s

God darn damn diddlee dum deeee... thats a mighty fine veeeehhicckle there young buddy 10-4 over out

Awesome video so far, but that second stop at that gas station, as a local driver, you made that stop overly complicated, instead of driving between the pumps and the building, I would’ve drove back on the road - wrong way and started sight side into a straight back - pretty much how you ended up ... keep it up driver 👍

When I started out I had a 160 inch wheelbase cabover and a 42 ft trailer. This looks a bit different.

No rush in backing up. Great job

You can clearly see he loves what he do!

You should've nailed the parking at the warehouse within 2 shots

That's the real deal man! I love trucking even if, as a woman, have been to serious discrimination. I wish I had started trucking when I was very young. I love the 10 gear stick driving, the stick feels like the extension of my hand, but this tall thing kind of scares me! You make it look slick and easy though!

Yes always take your time and safety too, never want to damage your equipment, haste makes waste, be Safe out there brother ✌👍🤙👊

I'm about to have my fld stretched to 300 been out here 14yrs doesn't mean shit lets see how it goes lmao!! Good job bro

Nice Pete. We at GeetLand trucking just got our Pete again. After all 10 kenworths... hopefully to get a flat top next. We mainly run TX to CO and back

Just like Top gun ! Just another walk in the park , eh " MAV'! 👍

Camera on mirror while backing was a great perspective. Easier to follow than when on your head, IMO. Nice work.

17:55 It amazes me how many driver's don't get out and look. It's so simple yet so rare. G.O.A.L Get Out And Look!

I have seen enough...subscribed!

Judging by some of y'alls comments its apparent y'all have never driven a real truck

Looks like a real struggle, especially when you have your seat that low. You're really having a good stretch just to steer. I can just imagine all of the body aches and most of it could be eliminated by just upping your seat a little bit.

Hey interesting and entertaining video. I'm just going to say do what's comfortable to you. It can get way tighter. I'm talking about the dock doors lol. I recommend the Grand Marshall train horn for you to add to your pretty truck. I did local in NYC for 14 years now I'm in the Chicagoland area. Fun stuff lol. Keep the rubber side down and keep truckin

As someone who works on a dock, you'd be surprised how many drivers DON'T check to see if their trailer is backed up correctly to the dock...They assume since one side of their bumper tapped the wall, that the other side isn't a foot off lol.

Maneas Meats in Sauk Rapids MN...It's hard to drive a pickup truck around in that hilly town...Great job driving...

I definitely need these songs on my playlist!

No way!!! You mean you have to unload too?? F that!!!! I blew lime into tanks & cement too. I never had to unload skids. I worked on docks as a kid at night and summer and when a revived my CDL two things I wouldn’t do triples & doubles and hand unload. Lol I take my hat off to you for that.

Real nice footage and truck, I HAUL trusses.

God I miss the road ! Ah to be young again!

Good sounding engine! Nice rig!

im gonna truck just cuz how much you make it look so much fun and relax . i love your truck

All these SWIFT drivers in here trying to give driving lessons. 🤣

Love the super Pete with the custom jammer!

I liked that! "And then heading home to FLORIDA"

Nice fly wagon brother 👍👍👍

unbelievableeeee ... you wearing me out getting into that door 14.

27k more till 100k man! Keep it up🔥🔥🔥

You put some air in that seat you'd be able back that truck up by using your mirrors

That is one nice truck I like the color with the with the chrome

You must have been in Northern Minnesota with those steel cowboy yard art

Great job on driving really enjoy it watching them alot be safe thanks ron from.ky

Beautyful track bro ❤❤

I will say you did look like you were struggling a bit on that first one. But granted with a drop off and 300 in wheelbase I know I would struggle😂 good video
