Thank you so much for making that 2nd video, I learned a lot more, as to visualizing from distance as to either being early/ late, using the left cone as a reference point, and backing up slow while making small coorections. I am ok, doing straight line and Offset, but I haven't done any Alley parking in school yet. I will be applying what I have learn from you in Parallel and Alley when I return to school on April, 18th . Sadly its only 4 days prior to my MVC's test date in Jersey. Thanks a million again, and thank you for making and deticating this video for me . You made me your biggest fan for life, hands down your instructional videos are the best on utube, and I watched all of what utube has, because you go the extra mile . God Bless.

Hope you pass your test... Learn to read the trailer. 28 foot trailer moves fast so as you back up , GO SLOW! Go to the dock- Find your reference point. If the trailer is starting to go to the left of your reference point ( early ) Stop it be turning the steering wheel to the left. Don't over steer - if the trailer is reacting, you have enough turn. Practice over and over again until it CLICKS in your head! The trailer only goes where you let it go.

I keep watching videos on alley dock and no one seems to be doing the first reverse turn to where it's almost jackknifing.

Will be doing another video on alley dock ASAP. Backing into the alley, ( on the right ) starting with a left- backing up unit the trailer is about 45 degree angle. Steer wheels straight. Now you will back up slowly and answer the question. Is the trailer late - on time - or early. Now it’s up to you to make the proper adjustments when needed to back the trailer into the alley. Take time to go to a truck terminal. See the movement of the trailers into the docks. Also see my playlist. Advance Backing by Shelton. Click onto my homepage or playlist.

Testing in a double axle day cab with a 53’ trailer my issue seems to be coming in too late and trying to force it in the box so my question is if I’m too late, near the blindside is it better to pull forward and make it a straight line back or should I pull up back to starting position and try to be on time? Sometimes when I pull up I get the trailer crooked and the setup is bad. Thanks.

Yes they move faster and many students who oversteer with a 48" trailer will jack knife with a 28' trailer. We try to train students to REACT to the trailer. If you need to stop a trailer from moving to the left, turn the steering wheel to the left to stop the left movement. Once the trailer movement to the trailer has stopped, you have turned the steering wheel enough. If you oversteered to the LEFT, the trailer would move very fast to the RIGHT.
