This was an absolutely beautiful and much simpler set up than I was Taught. I was taught to pull back to the 12'clock position after the 3'clock, which is similar, but your method of stopping when the tractor and trailer are aligned with each other is so much easier, especially with that extra 8 feet to work with coming back. Today is my final day with my trainer and I'll be testing and graduating today after I pass everything at the company. Im so excited for this journey and I appreciate this tutorial as it will definitely help me achieve my goal......AKA (Get Out And Look)😂 naa, but many thanks to you my brother and keep up the amazing work 🙏🏿
Thank you so much, one of the best explanations ive seen on yt. Ive been with knight one month otr, passed my training test but failed my road test.... the backing part only. I really needed this because my stupid trainer never showed me this.
Wow! I like your method much better! I just passed my road test for a company and will be getting picked up by them tomorrow. I'm gonna watch this video over and over just to make sure I got it down pat. Thank you kindly sir! 😊
Definitely just finally clicked when you said where people mess up all the time.. was the part I always messed up on. When you said pretend you in a car at that moment and turn the wheel to the left.. 😅 one person explains what I been not getting for awhile. Kudos to you thanks

@@glocktaviousbrown5420 Hi Glock, thanks for your comments. I'm happy that you are strong in your backing abilities. Getting in a space safely is the GOAL. We should always take our time, G.O.A.L. and try not to have an accident. I wish the best for you and your Mentor. Please stay safe.
I just earned my unrestricted CDL here in Maryland. My school would not allow GOALs as the MVA test also does not allow any GOALs. This was hard, but I did it with zero points lost on my test yesterday!

@@18WMS Thank you, Sir! As a new rookie driver, safety is my absolute priority and when I am on the job--I will always perform a GOAL for every single backing maneuver. I would never bump docks without this very sensible safety measure. My goal (pun intended) is the safe backing of my combination vehicle and to therefore remain off the CSA clearing house of shame.

I've been driving for 3 weeks now and still struggle with backing. My problem is I don't know the set up. I've been trained so many different ways. I just have to keep practicing and taking my time. I'm most definitely going to remember your set up, it seems more easier.

@@cedricknowles4714 which ever works for you as long as it's roughly 8'. If you want to talk about it then email me your number at tyoung.18wms@gmail.com
Lets say my tandems are at the CA mark when I am in a day cab. I DRIVE 6.5 lanes ahead until I cut the wheel hard right and back up to do alley docking. How many lanes should I drive ahead until I cut the wheel hard right and back up when I am in a sleeper cab?
Hi Jeahwang, I'm not sure if this helps but from my experience, it was always easier to have the tandems all the way to the rear on a 90 to not have the tail swing. It all depends on the space you have to work with to determine the angle you want to use.
Thanks for your question. The best advice I have on any maneuver is to look at what you are working with and set up accordingly. I may not be fully understanding your question, but setting up accordingly to your space is key. Thanks, and please stay safe.
Hi Bless, Thanks for your comment. Backing is a thing we all had to get past. The more you do it, the better you get at it. Feel free to contact me by email, and I can give you a call to offer some assistance. I wish you the best. tyoung.18wms@gmail.com
Hi Jrock! Great question. On all backing opportunities, it's best to look at everything first to determine what to do next. If there's not much room in front of the space you're backing then a couple of options are: Do a 90 degree back or maybe slide the tandems all the way forward (but be mindful of the tail swing). Once the trailer is in the space and you need to pull up, you will have plenty extra room then. Thanks for the question and please stay safe.
Great question. The three oklock starts when your shoulder is in line with the edge of the trailer by the driver side mirror. This is the first turn of the set up.
☂️Thank you for this excellent video. Would you be willing to do another 45 degree one? Same setup but tighter with typical empty trailers on the other right hand side. Because lot of times it feels like you might hit the other side because its so tight. This video doesn't show if it was tighter on the other side. So if you can demonstrate and explain the proper setup like this one backing between trailers. Also I had one small truck like that before but lost the trailer they can be useful.
Plan your work, then work your plan. Before any maneuver, it's a great idea to figure out the best and safest way to set up. Look at the space and items around you and set up accordingly. Get out and look is very important. If you don't have the space for the 3 o'clock , then use a different set up. Thanks and I wish you the best.
That's okay, but the hard turn to the left is easier if you go all the way back to 12 o'clock instead of 1:30. The maneuver sets you up for success this way without having to pull up the additional 8 feet. Sometimes, you don't have that space available, so it's better to teach the 12-3-12 method.
Hi Richard and thanks for your comment and input. I do agree that it all depends on the situation at hand. The way I'm showing this in the video never failed fo me. A driver must survey the area and setup accordingly. Thanks and please continue to stay safe.
I’m a student in your class and I really want to master ur backing maneuvers ..I really want to be successful at this company..so what sight or place could I learn more from or come?

I love campers. The key to shorter trailers is that they come around fast. Therefore, turning the steering wheel a little to get the trailer started, then turning back the other way to control it. May have to pull forward a few times to stay in control of the trailer swing. The shorter the trailer is, the faster the trailer swings. I hope this helps at least a little. I wish you the best!
Don't watch your trl watch your trl tires that is your pivot point, setup is the most important part, don't cut yourself short use as much space as you need to setup and get out and look as many times as you need not just to look at clearance look at the angle of trk and trl compared to where your backing into and remember if your using a spotter trust but verify if you hit something they aren't going to pay your deductible.
@chrisstockwell9235 great advice. Watching the tires is also important, but watching everything is important, especially when there is a big portion of the trailer beyond the tires. I have a travel trailer myself. Different from a tractor trailer but similar. Please stay safe!
Hi Ronald, thanks for your comment. What I said is correct. I moved the truck to the left because when you turn to the right, thats what happens. Feel free to speak via phone with me so we can talk if you like. I thank you and I wish you the best. If you want to talk about it then email me at tyoung.18wms@gmail.com. please stay safe.
Hi Jeahwang, I hope you are doing well and thank you for your comment. I plan on doing a video on the 90 degree soon. The set up and execution is different but interesting depending on the space. Have a safe day.
Blind side backing is very risky depending on the equipment and area. I can help you with it, though. Please inbox me at tyoung.18wms@gmail.com Thanks, and I wish you the best.
@@18WMSI’m sorry, to clarify, I meant after the step where you turn all the way right and then counter steer left. What are you looking for to know your right turn is done?

Don't watch your trl watch your trl tires that is your pivot point, setup is the most important part, don't cut yourself short use as much space as you need to setup and get out and look as many times as you need not just to look at clearance look at the angle of trk and trl compared to where your backing into and remember if your using a spotter trust but verify if you hit something they aren't going to pay your deductible.
@chrisstockwell9235 great advice. Watching the tires is also important, but watching everything is important, especially when there is a big portion of the trailer beyond the tires. I have a travel trailer myself. Different from a tractor trailer but similar. Please stay safe!
You turned the wheels to the left not the right at the beginning of your backing.
Hi Ronald, thanks for your comment. What I said is correct. I moved the truck to the left because when you turn to the right, thats what happens. Feel free to speak via phone with me so we can talk if you like. I thank you and I wish you the best. If you want to talk about it then email me at tyoung.18wms@gmail.com. please stay safe.
He kept saying turn to the right until he did his goal then it was turn to left , confused me too 🙃
Still a good vid
@@18WMS no problem thanks
What about 90 degree backing?
Hi Jeahwang,
I hope you are doing well and thank you for your comment. I plan on doing a video on the 90 degree soon. The set up and execution is different but interesting depending on the space. Have a safe day.
i wish you were my trainer
I'm wishing you a great experience in trucking. Do what is safe for you everytime. Thanks.
I need help on blind side backing
Blind side backing is very risky depending on the equipment and area. I can help you with it, though. Please inbox me at tyoung.18wms@gmail.com
Thanks, and I wish you the best.
@@18WMS Do truckers avoid blind side backing if they can help it?
Yes, unless they have a spotter. Even then, backing from the driver side is most likely a safer way. I hope this helps. Please stay safe!
What indicates that you should then turn your wheel all the way to the left?
Thanks for your question. In this example, once you bust that 3 o'clock- is the indication.
@@18WMSI’m sorry, to clarify, I meant after the step where you turn all the way right and then counter steer left. What are you looking for to know your right turn is done?
@moneycf no worries, we go into the fine detail via video. I offer educational sessions if you're interested. You can email me at tyoung.18wms@gmail.com or set up a session with this link. Thanks. maps.app.goo.gl/nQ2E6MzRUcRthfbV7
