- In this video I backup a set of doubles to the dock... because I didn't want to break up the set and then pick up that trailer by itself and put it up to the dock, call me lazy it's okay I call it skills put to work.

There’s always haters and the people talking shit. I can’t do it and sometimes it got to be done. So good job sir you did it with no problems and made it look easy. Stop being lil bitches and hating even if it’s against policy. Not like the company’s are fair to their drivers.
Thank you so much I love your comment.
OD is one of the best companies to work for in the country, I work for a competitor we are very well taken care of, and no this doesn't ever have to be done you just unhook the tail trailer from the dolly, drop your lead out of the way and back the tail in as a single, then hook back up to your lead. that being said this takes stupid levels of skill to do and im really impressed
Check out my beautiful trucks

Impressive driving for sure. But I can’t think of a time it “got to be done”
@@917saturnino WHAT TERMINAL ARE U FROM?
I MIGHT be able to do this with 1000 pull-ups and a refueling
Homefront this comment made my day😂😂😂
Not easy I started driving double and the pivot moves way too much, hard brake and that rear treaties swings nothing like tractor trailer
@@alexquiroga1967 yeah, I pull doubles for FedEx Ground and I could never do this, I sometimes have a problem hooking the dolly to the rear pup if it's not lined up just right, because if you have to do an angled back at all, the dolly goes the opposite direction the front pup does
This is the best, funniest, and truest comment in the thread.
😂 😂 👍🏽
This guy’s skill level is insane. You have no idea how hard it is to keep the rear box directly behind you like that.
In my 20+ years of driving LTL, I can count on one hand (& not using all of my fingers) the number of drivers I've actually seen backing up doubles successfully into a dock door. Like someone said earlier, most companies have went off-the-rails on their "safety training" & will reprimand drivers, up to & including termination. I've tried it when I thought management wasn't watching & it only makes me respect those who can a little bit more.
Most LTL that I have worked at or seen, the yard hostler can back doubles to the dock. They also can back a pup with dolly under the 2nd pup. Seems like a company would be happy a driver can do this.
Think they don't care about who can. It's those who think they can and break shit. I'm 50/50 hooking my set without unhooking the converter but I still can't figure out backing the set. 3 mo with OD . These OD old timers are just different. Every day one of em is backing doubles. I've always been the alpha driver at other places. Not even close here. Respect
I drove for 53 yrs and around 10 million miles, team and single. But one thing I learn was to back up a set of joint's into any dock or parking spot. It does take practice, and after many miles it got easy. It was always fun to see folk's scratch there heads in disbelief.
I know exactly what you're saying mr.
my respect goes out to you 53 years is a lot of driving, something that for me it'll be a long time before I complish it.
@@917saturnino thank you for your comment
@@davidsare2949 you're very welcome.
10 million… really??
im just getting into trucking and you may as well ask me to fly to the moon lol..this guy nailed it
good job , backing a set of doubles is like pushing a chain in a straight line
Hahaha....... I think you hit the nail on the head with this response...
I was trying to think of a good analogy for someone who doesn’t drive. This one is perfect.
Nice job, driver. People who don’t pull sets wouldn’t know how hard that is. Well done! Nailed it.
@@oldschoolwarrior it pretty much all has to be lined up just right, that yard is big enough he could do it. The FedEx Ground Phoenix DC doesn't have that kind of room, so nobody even tries
No, I believe its more like backing up cargo containers with wheels and couplings that you can manipulate at will using a tractor unit just like the one in the video!!!
I been pulling doubles for a little while now and I was convinced this wasn’t possible. Damn good job
Same
Hard as hell!! I could only back up about 10 feet with doubles!! That’s some major skills!! Hard to control 3 pivot points!! Kudos!! 👍
The trick with doubles is little movements, patience and loads of practice. 😊
It's the same thing as pushing out airplanes with a towbar...the nose gear pivots, the tow bar pivots where it's connected to the push vehicle, and the push vehicle has steering, of course.
Hey dumb ass.it was a straight line back up.he pulled forward to many times.lol
I've done it harder backing up 2 farm wagons into a corn crib on the farm when I was just a kid.this guy needs to learn to slow down on his steering. Not turn the wheels so much
Farm wagons lol you have not a clue what go into backing a set of doubles not to mention this ain’t a tractor and hay wagons this takes major skills
Straight line? Pfft
I 90 degree alley dock triples on the blindside in a sleeper cab from the top bunk...
Lol
I log it as On-Duty not driving...😎
@@certified_boogeyman
....man, both those comments are gold, I literally laughed so damn hard
Why log as on-duty? Does it take forever?
Sure you do...right there from your sleeper while youre dreaming.
Damn, and he did it 50 minutes faster than swift does with one trailer
Thank you and I'm still cracking up😂😂
Damn you really have a big problem with swift
this made my day thank you😂😂😂
@@therookieboy6980 no problem with swift, its the drivers they put on the road. A lot of them are not ready or should not be behind the wheel. Not all of them, but a lot for sure.
50 minutes????? nahh you're giving them way too much credit 🤣
Good job!! I've done it with 48's many times, a bit more tricky with those pups, they react so much quicker. This just shows a good driver's skill set, it's pretty sad that a lot of the drivers these days can't even back up a single trailer, much less 2 trailers. The whole key is starting with both trailers and the tractor straight and keeping the whole rig straight as you move in reverse. I agree, it's not lazy, it's skill, the guys that call it lazy are jealous that they can't do it.
This is actually a testament to the quality of your equipment, especially the con-gear. Good job to you and the guy doing your alignments!
Outstanding! I'd never attempt that. The retired trucker who taught me told me first thing; anyone can drive one of these down a highway, here in the lot is where you earn your money.
I'm a owner operator and I couldn't do this👀👀👀🙌🙌 backing doubles is hard ASF GOOD JOB MAN GOOD JOB🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I rear hook my sets and back my empty kites into the line out in the yard every night, not hating on this guy in anyway, shit takes skill and the absolute most concentration. Biggest thing is knowing how the dolly reacts off the lead. Keep up the good work driver
I'm always impressed when a driver can do this
I just wish it made girls more horny, but no.
@@leojay9136 maybe lady truck drivers lmfao 🤣
MANNNN THAT WAS Impressive as all get out !! You got Skills , I knew it was Possible! I'm a Trailer Drive for almost 40 years but I never drove a double even though I know I can but backing up was always questionable to me . One day my Dump trailer broke down and the tow truck guy bought my tractor and trailer back to my yard ,and my yard was tight in a residential street . Don't you know this TOW man from Mike's Towing Backed that bad boy tractor and trailer on the meat hook Backed into my yard Nice , I couldn't believe it !!! You know as a Trucker I thought about that shit for years after . Then it hit me 🤔🤔🤔if that guy could back in my Tractor and trailer on the tow hook 🪝 then it must be possible to back in a Double , and I typed it in and Taadaa There you are With your Awesome Skills showing me how Possible it is Mannnnn , You the Mann !! Thanks good 👀 💯👍👍
You mad lad! This is great. In my time of living I've seen less than 5 people back up doubles like that, you made it look effortless
The slower you go the better you can get grip of what you doing like this man did, that’s exciting to see thank you sir and be safe out there 10/4!!
About to start doubles training this is good motivation!! Great job 👏👍👌
Awaome video!
I can't wrap my head around how hard this must be.
Good job!
This is master piece genius 💜🧡💚💙💜🇿🇦from South Africa 🙌🏼
That was nicely done. Good job my man! I am not a professional semi driver but I have driven a few. I pull all kinds of trailers with the small trucks regularly and I cannot imagine working with two pivot points. It isn't about lazy or not its about skill!
Absolutely takes skills I've tried it a few times never got that far hats off too you sir
Holly molly! That was amazing! Honestly the main thing keeping me from getting my doubles endorsement is I just don't wanna have to park it. Keep up the great work! Drive safe!!
For a long time I thought that was an urban legend. People talked about it but I never saw anyone actually doing it.That’s so rare that before the internet I thought it was a myth.
Your company should support you in participating in the truck rodeo. I think they have a competition for backing doubles. It doesn’t get more precise than you nailed it.
I would pull into a truck stop to rest, on the radio asking for a pull through when I pulled joints. Super truckers would answer asking why I couldn’t back up a set. I bet none of them had ever pulled a set. People gotta talk shit.
YOU. ARE. MY. HERO!
If I hadn't seen it I wouldn't believe it. I could never get more than one trailer length before the whole thing was all wrapped up.
@917saturnino you are a true professional truck driver congrats.
Dude! That was awesome! And I thought it was impossible to back doubles.
It's hard enough backing your lead pup with the dolly attached if you have to back it more than 30 feet to the tail trailer, I've done that twice, takes like 30 fucking pullups
Great job Driver! i love watching true skills and the love of what you do! not many take the time to hone there talents! cheers brother!
I tip my hat off to you driver. Great job and skills.
That’s insane! I have been trying to learn in my free time for the last year still can’t do it... You are one hell of a driver!
thank you... try doing it in like a little bit of a uphill, that way you will kind of get the idea of where the trailers go when you push them.
I'm amazed how you can back that thing up like that! NICE!!!!
good job mann youre the best thank you for nice video you did a great job!! keep doing whatchu doing. you inspire me this video makes me feel a future truck driver..thank you again...god bless!!!
that was awesome ! I'm a Saia LTL driver for 23 years and I've never attempted to back to dock with doubles. I can only back lead trailer with dolly to rear trailer. I'm going to try this at home boy's and girls....lol
Drove for UPS, took me about 2mo of practice to learn but you can. He's lucky he had enough room to get straight first. Excellent job!
As my opinion If there’s any who call you lazy must the lazy one bro. You make look so simple just because you make the trails straight. Keep it up 👍🏽 your work and take care!! Hope to see some of your move on a tight curve possible. Thank you for the video respect ✊🏽 😎
I have mad respect for people who can do this!
Damn! That is a skill to be admired! I have enough trouble backing my single axle trailer. Yeah, practice, practice practice.
Was mildly impressed.. Then i see how he lined up to the dock perfectly. O.O
Nice... I hope to be that good someday
That was awesome!!! You are a great driver. Best to you.
Thanks for the vid man!!! I'm still having trouble with short singles.
Very well done, I hope with your talent your not wasting it on being a TH-cam star, hopefully your doing your state rodeo and representing OD all the way to the Nationals! Keep up the good work brother, we'll see you out there Gbo saying what's up 👍💪👏👌👊
Backing a set takes a special skill. This driver did a great job.
Much respect for even trying.. I am still learning normal cdl backing
Awesome job brother! It definitely helps with the single axle. My best time with a single axle and a good turning radius was about 4 min with 1 pull up. Every time I've tried with a twin screw and brutal turning radius it's over half an hour! :)
Probably true, I'm using a tandem drive axle sleeper even though I'm home every day. Much harder than with a single drive day cab
Awesome I was told that it couldn’t be done well here you go it was done great job.
Lazy? No way! Smart! Well done sir!
You said some people call it “lazy?!?” No sir. That’s SKILL. It took me months just to be able to back up a trailer with a converter dolly- I could put it into a parking slot between the stripes, and co-workers were impressed. I never even attempted 2 trailers. Stay safe sir- out on the road as well as on the yard.
@hello dkwoodsy how are you doing?
You got skills!! Awesome!!
I drive a gravel train definitely not easy at all bro awesome skills u have most have no idea how hard this is.ive been trying this without a dolly lock want to back in without using a cheat skill definitely hard to do every one saying your in a straight line has no idea how fast that straight line gets out of had again awesome skills man
That is perfect brother , Great job !!!
Great job can you do a video on how to backup with doubles. This is how I found this video but I seen one before from SMART TRUCKING channel and he says it's almost impossible but that's why I came here and notice you did a great job.
That is excellent. Way to go!!!!
Nice job! I could do that 30 years ago with manual steer tractor at Roadway Express.
the amount of skill in this video scares me
Great job, that takes some skill like backing a hay bailer and wagon together...
I could back a 2 pivot point (heavy haul with a jeep) set up. I tried backing a set of pups when I was with ConWay....it did not go well.
Nicely done driver.
Good job bro ! Gotta luv that power steering ! Keep on trucking in the free world................
Nothing lazy there I drove doubles for fed-ex and I hated backing them up it takes patience and skill backing those and patience is one thing I'm short on and anyone talking crap about how easy it is cause you do it in your gravel train ill tell you it isn't even close to the same as backing up those single axle dolly and trailers
Jeremy Garner you had to back up doubles into a dock with fed ex?
That's crazy youve had to back them. Usually drivers coming to my yard either drop the set and the jockeys who know how break them down or the driver breaks them down.
That s not lazy, that's skill. I haul doubles for Amazon I wish I have the practice and skill you have.
I work for FedEx I don't even need to back them up
@@anthonyritter5507 I drive for FedEx Ground and nobody backs them as a combined unit. They either drop the two with the dolly still connecting them, or more often we break them down.
Funny enough, the first two I had to grab last night must have both come from the same driver, because they were connected with a dolly just sitting in staging, couldn't believe it. 9 times out of 10, I have to tow the dolly on the back of the tractor frame and hunt the two pups down
This is nothin’. Hold my beer and watch me back my 53’ triples, I *work* for my 28 cents per mile!
Mista Butterworth what?
Work where im at i make 48 cents per mile
Stephanie Boman i get 51c and I just started yesterday
There is companys paying 62 cents per mile
😂😂😂😂😂
Nice job bro, you made it look easy!
I've heard of it being done. Dad had a freind in California around Fresno who had been pulling doubles since forever. Dad said that man could put both in a door faster than dad could a 48 fter. I can pull pups but i dont do it all the time. And backing them up. Ill split them first. So congratulations sir.
Gonna try this in ATS game. I thought it was impossible. Thanks, man.
Hell yeah I’ll show the people in Las Vegas in truckers MP that I’m boss
Awesome. Good job.. I have road test tomorrow on new company pulling doubles. Never pulled doubles, been teaming otr 5 years.
Wow hats off to you for having all that patients dealing with somebody in a narrow space LOL.
I hope you do well... hooking up a set of doubles it's not difficult the most difficult part for somebody beginning to do it is backing up trailer and Dolly after that you'll realize that make it turns is a lot easier with doubles... and if you have any questions don't even hesitate to ask good luck to you.
Good job, love your work
Bro you did that shit like nothing, I’ve tried to just back up my lead trailer and dolly to my rear trailer but I can’t i just always have to get out and roll it there myself or just place my dolly there before i even hook up to my lead, good shit bro.
No way I could park in that tight gap without hitting something hats off to you sir
Good job of backing doubles !!
It isn’t being lazy. But you have to have some true patience, eye coordination, and damn near perfect reaction and wheel control to do that. I have two out of those four. Patience and the wheel control to not over turn would screw me Everytime with doubles. Great job bruh. Great job. I’ll stick to the long way
I drove doubles for yrs. and when I hooked my set I would hook the front trailer then went and hooked the dolly to it then went and hooked it to the back trailer. I could back the set into a dock as long as there was enough room to get straight. I could also parallel park a set in between two other vehicles. Bottom line is you can learn to do anything if you take your time
and practice doing it. It’s not that hard, it’s just that most people claim you shouldn’t do it, it to dangerous to do that. If you haul doubles long enough you’re going to come into a situation where you are going to have to back them up, so practice ahead of time.
You are bold and assume. I love it when driver like myself thinks out of the box to save time and money for the company. there are more savings here then you are given credit for. Safety is the big one. what you did is more safe then unhooking. This is because the truck is doing all the physical work and not the driver. By that I mean all the hooking and unhooking of trailer to move them into spot. Great Job, and thanks for show me this can be done. I doubt it was this easy with only 4 pullups. I back tanker trucks (truck and Pup) all the time. Most 53' guys can never get it.
I sometimes drive doubles hauling macadamia nuts. Crazy difficult just to back straight. Main thing you have to watch is the front dollies. Control the front dolly and you control the direction of the swing of the rear of the first trailer. Then use the rear of the first trailer to push the dolly on the second trailer. Hard concept to grasp, I still have much to learn myself
If can, can you get the measurement between lead trailer and pup trailer? It's around 4ft right? Down to the nearest inch would be nice.
Awesome job and video man!
Ultimate truking and the hardest double 👍
i'm the dude peeping through the porthole watching people back in. some take 10 minutes on a 53 with no other trucks around.
FedEx Freight here... Niiiiiiiceee! Got you some skill!
Good job driver! Made it look easy
917Saturtino......u do a great job...u make that look so easy
Christoffer Van Dyke thanks
I consider myself a pretty good driver but I could get no further than 10ft with a set of pups haha, showing the boys this video. Hats off to ya, great job
Hey you did a GREAT Job..... But that looks very challenging......
Amazing skill. I'm impressed, and intend to take nothing away from it. I do wonder, though, whether it would have been possible before power steering. My one summer job driving a bus on US 66 between Carlinville and Naperville, IL. does in no way give me criticism rights, but backing without power steering was a REAL chore.
Wtf that was so smooth. I really want to learn this
Watching because of ETS2 is not easy i tell you that. I respect you sir.
Holland driver saying saying, excellent backing skills!!!
Good Job champ!!
I like it, I haven't seen anyone do that before. As a hostler at my job though I would tell you to break em just so we could get you moving on to your next loads or whatever. Good job though man.
Nicely done!
Is it possible to lock the rotation mechanism and transform double trailer into a single one or at least B-Double trailer?
Great work !!
Great backing 👍👍
He did dam good! I’m impressed
thank you.
is this possible normally, or is there some lock that you can apply to the hinge connecting the two boxes in some way
Do you have any pointers?! I can back my dolly under my rear workout any problem. Do it daily. I've tried....and tried....and tried to get this down. Just can't wrap my mind around it!
There is a definite distinction between “laziness” and efficiency.
Usually if “your way” requires supreme skill…. It’s efficiency.
If you’re doing more work, as a way to “side step” the skill requirement…. Sure, no one can really call you “lazy”.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean we can call you “efficient” either.
If a driver can save work, and shave steps…. Simply by honing his skills to the next level…. I call that good driving, and smart to boot.
Respect! I Wish I could drive with a double, Trailer no problem, but a double.... nightmare Hope to learn it one day.
It is not as hard as it looks!!
@@917saturnino I learned to drive the doubles at work patience is the key...ill be out there two hours a day learning how to push the trailer in the direction I want...
Driving them is easy if you can pull 53's in your sleep.
What he did here is a whole nother ball of wax. We always break them down and back em one at a time
Excellent my fellow OD driver. We had a driver in MRT that could that with ease. I've never taken the time to learn how to do it.
It is not as hard as it seems🙂
What terminal Is this I’m out of gbo
Great backing up!
Good job man I work out of MRT terminal wild line haul
