  • This is one of the more stressful backing maneuvers I've done in a while. It's a fairly busy street, no spotter, and no room to maneuver on the passenger side. Again this is one of those moves that your set-up and attack angle have to be pretty much perfect to complete the back. Took a few tries at it but eventually got er done!

      Drivers like these are not from any schools when you're that young. He is Well taught, Good Job!
      I have seen "newbies" just trying to back in a single trailer with at least 5ft on either side of the box and took them at least 10 min to back it in!
      Some were not meant to drive big rigs, BUT this GUY KNOWS HIS STUFF!

There was a driver's trainer that look how I drive, he was around 60 yo, very grimmy, he didn't even talk about anything else than only to give orders. He asked me to reverse the trailer at a normal spot with a gap of max one foot on both sides. I tried five times. He stopped me, asked me to get out of the truck, take a deep breath, walk around of the truck and return. When I got in the truck he asked me to wait till he goes around the corner and that I had 2 minutes to park it. He knew how stressful is if someone looks at you.

      Whats impressive about this? It took how many goes? We tow b.doubles which are b.trains. 26mtr long. 62.5tn. Should of got in there on one maybe 2 goes. There is nothing hard in this video at all. It hurts just watching this as it's 2nd to none for us. Why even film your self when your this bad. You should film your self when your better. Practice makes perfect. Then once you have learnt how to reverse a b.double (b.train). Give the road trains ago. 3 to 4 trailers and sometimes a road train is made up of 3 b.trains. that's 3 sets at 26mtr long. In total that's 6 trailers. But I don't understand why he filmed him self taking so many goes. Us in Australia and New Zealand would of done it in 1 or 2 goes

      Whats impressive about this? It took how many goes? We tow b.doubles which are b.trains. 26mtr long. 62.5tn. Should of got in there on one maybe 2 goes. There is nothing hard in this video at all. It hurts just watching this as it's 2nd to none for us. Why even film your self when your this bad. You should film your self when your better. Practice makes perfect. Then once you have learnt how to reverse a b.double (b.train). Give the road trains ago. 3 to 4 trailers and sometimes a road train is made up of 3 b.trains. that's 3 sets at 26mtr long. In total that's 6 trailers. But I don't understand why he filmed him self taking so many goes. Us in Australia and New Zealand would of done it in 1 or 2 goes

      The B train is known as the “backable set” for a reason. A true B train due to the lack of a converter dolly makes it easier to control.

      Your right about straighten out. I drive a LCV road train. Been driving regular truck & a 45’ back in day then 48’ and now two 53’ with the converter dolly double axle with pental hook. I tell you been driving the LCV road train only about 5 years . That is a real pain in the butt backing them up with 3 points of swing behind your cab. I really like what I do now pulling the LCV. I find it very relaxing on the highways with DOT law of 90 max. Everyone can just pass.. We’re paid by hour, not mileage.. There is plenty of work too and we’re not taking someone job by pulling 2 the extra trailer.. Company’s are crying for drivers to pull loads..
      That fellow backing up that B train, Is very professional . I can only imagine backing up that unit with the wider sleeper and chrome sun visor is not easy.. it takes time and patience .

About 10 minutes and your done. Then unhook 'A' trailer (Legs, Air, Power and Pin) and go get the 'B' trailer (Legs, Air, Power and Pin) and back it on to the dock.
