Plus if in doubt, get out and look! Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, as long as you get that unit and trailer where they need to be, you've done your job 👌

Who here reverses into a tight spot 1st time but if you had a wide open bay always duck it up? 😂lol

Bare in mind you've still got to leave enough space between trailers to drop your legs down. Glad your helping new drivers. Good stuff mate 👍

I would drive just past the empty bay then hard left lock so as you can reverse trailer in strait without all that bending .

I do this everyday when returning my tanker and i always park it between two other tankers..one day i park with 3 spaces and found it harder 😂.

I respect you man, you work hard, have good energy, always seem happy. Fairplay. I hope that life treats you good

Good video, another tip when reversing in a place where there are lines painted on the floor like at an RDC, if you keep your trailer wheels as close to the inside of the line as possible then you shouldn't hit anything on the opposite side, if in doubt get out and look. Its a pity the drone footage didn't work.

I stressed my self out first time when did reverse semi trailer. I couldn't sleep for whole night 😂😂 until I put my hand at the bottom (6 o'clock position), it worked easy for me to remember which way trailer go. When put hand in the bottom, move steering to the right then trailer will go to the right. Turn steering to the left trailer move exactly the same direction. If new driver put hand on at 1 o'clock position it hard to memorize which way trailer move. Maybe it's not work for everyone in that way but just share my experience that how I did it.

great vid pal.. i know guys will really appreciate the effort you put in to do this. Keep em comming

Fabulous stuff 👏👏

Very Well done buddy well explained 👍👍👍

Brilliant 🎉

That yard looks similar to mine, like its been pelted with artillery fire. 😆

Years ago, first, ever artic delivery i was asked to pull in yard drop trailer on bay 5 and park unit on other side of yard as it was dead tight. All went well then shunter said done a good job there mate but now pull out n open your back doors ffs, never done that again 😂

well done lad 🎉

Nicely done.

Wish u could see some of the farms in the Scottish Borders where I used to go, that gap is no problem.

nice driving that, straight in and not even a shunt forward. I've had my class1 all way back from 2006 never used it really, been driving class 2 mixers and last 8 years on big mobile concrete boom pump. Finally had enough of the boom pump its a real slogger and im brushing bk up on my class1 in-between doing class2 haulage work for agency. Im fine on the road, not a problem its the reversing just need a couple of hours on then im away, could risk it now but after seeing how tight some of the distribution yards are when I went out with someone, think more practice is needed. To be honest was astounded that they don't have any banksmen to safely watch that huge blind spot on your left side for you. Majority of accidents happen on loading bays yet they don't have anyone banking. Coming from construction background I know we moaned a bit on health safety stuff, but this really needs sorting out nationaly. Keep up the god driving :]

Good info pal ! As a new driver reverse is the hardest part of the job for me, or any new driver I guess

How long did it take you to get ok with the reverse part of driving?

Made that more difficult than needed. I reverse into tighter spaces every day with less manoeuvring room. Had you kicked the cab to the right when finishing your positioning manoeuvre and then started to reverse it would have been so much easier.

You were showing off No explanation detected 😂

Doing my training for S Reverse/ couple uncouple. Very nervous the way trailer/tractor behave if you get it even slightly wrong with slight left or right turn

There are acres of space here to reverse that in. You do not need space at the side of the trailer to wind the legs. Park up, pull forward, drop legs, lift cab, back in. Simple Is the cab is tight to the trailer, pull pin, trailer brake on, pull forward, disconnect susies, Simple. Risk involved in this is little to none. You may catch a buckle if you are slipping early. If you find it hard, then once you have done it, pull out and try again, and again and again. Practice, learn and move forward. If you were blind siding this then it would be risky not to get out half way to check, but its still a straughtforward job. Practice - Practice - Practice. When you get to the point of not thinking about what you are doing while doing it, then you will find you can slide one anywhere.

A heckuva lot more space there than Hellmann at Lichfield! Good vid though

Nice 1 👍

Well done son be good help for new drivers

Can u make more videos same reversing but in different situations. Pls and thank you

Plenty space to park a trailer There are difficult adresses to park a trailer between trailers😂

this is the employment test at any company.

Do you have any foreigners from the states working in trucking? Is it hard to transition from US trucking to UK trucking?

Have a try doing it off blind side

Watch out for mark meadows at h and m, he’s on forklifts and the snake scratches cars and puts nails in tyres, a proper rat

Any newbies lift mid axle when u reverse

I’ve delivered to your place, drive into warehouse 😂

I'd have had it done in less time than he took talking about it.

What's the problem

I'm going to send the drone up... no drone footage! surprised you didn't drag it out will all the filler comments for youtube ads...

professor green long lost Bruvah

As a 10 year tramper and shunter im telling you that you've made a massive meal of that especially as you have a massive run off in front

You explained literrally nothing about hand inputs on the steering wheel. E.g left hand down to swing the trailer to the right.

What the bloody hell is he doing bags of room

You didn't leave much room for someone picking up the trailer on your right to wind the legs up.

Piss easy you have a big yard with loads of space you should have some of places I've been to .

I need work for my husband please help me God will bless you

Los camiones trailer de EEUU son más espectaculares

Not a big deal... you hadn't any obstruction on your sides

Are you an ex Kingo? You look so familiar

Terrible place to work owners and managers are complete donuts

You didn’t really explain anything

Its not Rocket science

If you knew what you were doing to start with you’d have cut that angle down to as straight as possible instead of cutting in like that. Absolutely no need for that manoeuvre. Only saying through 30yrs experience 🤷🏼‍♂️

You just make it look easy 😒 it’s not.
