  • Not every backing situation is easy, even for the experienced drivers. The Swift driver at the end who blindsides back (with help) has been in the industry less than a month.

    Nice video. When I was starting out, I learned so much just by watching other drivers backing at truckstops. It was always the drivers that made me think"why didn't I think to do that" that was the most useful.
    Nice overhead view. This lot has plenty of space, but you have to know how to use it.

      I do some Backing at the Truck Stop videos. I am working on how to do individual back in a Shorts format.

    Seems like some of those trux could bak further, making it ezier for others who want to bak.

      That is usually true but our trailer axels slide to accommodate the load. Often drivers will back until the wheels are close to the curb.

    As a recently retired Canadian truck driver, this was painful to watch
    Not that I never struggled to park my truck, but those times were usually late at night in bad weather and being completely exhausted
    These cases were early and in really nice weather

      I also try to remember that I've had to pee about every time I need to park.

      Ten minutes to park isn’t unusual. This particular truck stop is a bit tighter than most in that aisle. Look at home many trucks stick out too far. The spaces were designed for trucks to overhang the grass or the concrete space.

    Half of these could've been made easier by going up a bit further from the spot you want to back into, and then doing a sharp 90 degree turn into the spot, then correcting. It's how I do it anyway.

      Personally, I like to try and have the trailer almost straight before I enter the hole.

    How long does it take for you to make these videos?

    • @MidlifeTrucker-ThomBell
      @MidlifeTrucker-ThomBell  ปีที่แล้ว

      Way too long. I am going to try and keep these videos to 20-25 minutes but this time, it was tough deciding which backs to leave on the cutting room floor. Keeping them in real time means that I need to find more music. Then level all the sound.

      I don’t do ramps. I can’t sleep on a ramp. Always waiting for the knock. I have parked in paid parking when the parking was tight.

      Every back gets easier, but keep in mind that blue truck was an owner operator, and that last white truck was a Western Star. Those aren’t newbies.
