The fact that you added relaxing music makes me want to watch the entire video while my trailer is being loaded. Us new drivers really appreciate these videos 👌🏼🫡

[@abdiahmed3465]

This trucks waiting for me to park will definitely make me nervous

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

They’ll wait. Remember they were all new at one time.

[@bobbybushwhacker]

When other trucks creep up on you while your backing it annoys me lol just sit still and wait buddy your stressing me out with all the creepin

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

Everyone is impatient these days.

[@Lightningmicro]

Seems extremely disrespectful

[@donmunro144]

Just ignore them. Take you time and don't get in a rush. They may get pissed, but they'll get over it. When you rush, accidents happen. The guy next to you deserves your full attention.

Go slower get their money’s worth 😈

Whenever I see 3 or 4 slots in a row open, I go for it easy. Since I just got my CDL a few months ago, I stay away from the single slots for now unless it is an easy straight back.

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

Next time you are at your company terminal, go around to the back of a row of trailers. Practice backing into each open hole from different angles, with your tandems at different points. If your coming in from the back, it’s just trailer to trailer, be gentle but no real danger. When I park in a truck stop, I want the spot with a truck on either side. This means the chances are no one will back in next to me and hit me while I’m sleeping. Also they’ll likely be gone before I am in the morning making my exit easier.

Thanks
Really good to see how the set-up is so important, from above. Also to see the point you need to straighten the Prime Mover around during the manoeuvre.
Thanks so much I think this improve my reversing
Cheers

It really looks different from above.

[@jeremykiahsobyk102]

All the reefers gathered together making noise in the corner. 🤘😆

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

If your truck is well insulated you don’t hear most of the reefers or APUs.

[@mtomczak2018]

Excellent thank u

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

Welcome!

[@cotjocky466]

11:45 I don't know where that place is, but it looks almost impossible to park in particular spots. Not enought room for a 90 degree back to get in. Nose to nose looks like a trailer length minus the truck! Leaving time gotta be fun!

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

That is Pilot #157 in Sulphur Springs, Texas.

[@cotjocky466]

@@midlifetrucker-thombell4722 I’ll look to avoid that place then unless it’s early! lol…

[@iraniosorio8133]

Interesting video with a good view. Nice music, too but what is the music's name?? Thanks
