- 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.
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 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
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 🤣
I'm a owner operator and I couldn't do this👀👀👀🙌🙌 backing doubles is hard ASF GOOD JOB MAN GOOD JOB🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
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.
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 👀 💯👍👍
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 have a hard time backing up the front box with a dolly to see this man my you have some real skills
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.
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!!
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
I tip my hat off to you driver. Great job and skills.
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
Backing a set takes a special skill. This driver did a great job.
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
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
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!
the amount of skill in this video scares me
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!
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
😂😂😂😂😂
This is master piece genius 💜🧡💚💙💜🇿🇦from South Africa 🙌🏼
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.
That isn’t lazy that’s just working smarter
Awaome video!
I can't wrap my head around how hard this must be.
Good job!
Much respect for even trying.. I am still learning normal cdl backing
@917saturnino you are a true professional truck driver congrats.
I DRIVE FOR FED EX GROUND AND BACKED UP ONCE IN A STRAIGHT LINE ABOUT 30 FEET TO GET OUT OF A STICKY SITUATION MY CO DRIVER COULDNT BELIEVE IT
I believe you matter fact I work for FedEx Ground years ago at the Sacramento hub
@@917saturnino I work for them out of the Phoenix hub now
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.
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.
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
Backing A trains is super difficult to learn. But once you start doing it, it becomes easier.
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
I'm amazed how you can back that thing up like that! NICE!!!!
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.
About to start doubles training this is good motivation!! Great 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 ✊🏽 😎
Awesome I was told that it couldn’t be done well here you go it was done great job.
I cant even park a truck in American Truck Simulator🤣🤣🤣
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.
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
No way I could park in that tight gap without hitting something hats off to you sir
That is excellent. Way to go!!!!
By the time you get these backed up I'd already have both at the door and parked doing it the righ way.
Perhaps, it usually takes me between 5 and 10 minutes to break down and back a doubles set. I find the most time consuming part is cranking the landing gear on the pups
The “right way” is efficient and safe. That was clearly efficient, and I didn’t see anything inherently unsafe.
I pull triples, I’ve pulled doubles… never in my life do I think I’ll be able to do this… hell yeah driver
Ultimate truking and the hardest double 👍
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
It would be interesting to do a timed test of this vs the method where the driver unhooks and only backs the single trailer into the dock to see how much time it might save (if someone is proficient doing this).
SCENARIO: Your starting condition is with a double trailer coming into the gate at the yard and your ending condition is to be at the same point, facing the opposite direction with just a single trailer hooked to the tractor.
TEST#1: You maneuver the double trailer to a particular dock, unhook it, and then take the single trailer that is still hooked to the tractor to the exit point.
TEST#2: You maneuver the double trailer to an intermediate point, unhook from the rear trailer, move forward to another intermediate point, and unhook from the front trailer, and then go back to what was the rear trailer, hook up to it, and take it to the dock. You then go back to the previous front trailer and take it to the exit point.
I'm surprised that no one has developed some sort of yard vehicle with the 5th wheel in the front and with a 5th wheel that can be hydraulically raised so that the trailer legs do not need to be raised when moving the trailer. Sitting that close to the front of the trailer though would probably give the driver a pretty large blind spot, so he would either need some cameras that stuck well off the sides, double mirrors, or some such thing like that. Ideally, an OTR driver would just pull into the lot, unhook from his trailer(s) and then continue on his way, never having to reverse and someone else being responsible for moving the trailer to the dock or wherever it needed to be.
Agree
But he had a straight line back up also.he just did it to show off was all
@@deannederhoff This just proves you know nothing about driving.
Just a rookie yard jock but I know enough to say that's impressive as shit. A lot of drivers can't back a pup with a dolly hitched much less doubles.
Count me in them, but I still try every chance I get
I've backed a pup and dolly twice, I don't recommend it, lets put it that way
Some companies do not allow it. It gets costly if they screw up. It doesn't take much to jack knife em
That's skill, my man. Lazy or not. Haters gon hate. Ainters gon aint.
I ran line haul for Fed Ex for 5 years, was told from the get go. You ever back doubles into a dock and you'll be fired on the spot. Nice video for you tube though.
Did you work for FedEX or a subcontractor who had a contract with FedEx? I think they just don’t want you to do it because of liability reasons .. like not wanting you to hit anything because people in the past have had accidents
@@rollUPfilm I drove for a contractor, we weren't even allowed inside the warehouse.
Yeah, usually just break them down and have the switchers put them on the dock.
So FedEx doesn't want skilled drivers....... that's a first.
Holland driver saying saying, excellent backing skills!!!
Great work !!
Was mildly impressed.. Then i see how he lined up to the dock perfectly. O.O
Nice... I hope to be that good someday
Awesome job…. But that’s what a yard dog is for. Your trailer will right over 👉🏽 when you’re ready. 😂
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!
FedEx Freight here... Niiiiiiiceee! Got you some skill!
I thought about designing a towing pintle that slides side to side on the frame of the trailer for situations like this. It would be operated by an air ram or an electric motor on a rack and pinion. It would allow you to have more control on that second trailer without having to make the tractor make massive turns to keep it straight. It would be
Thanks for the vid man!!! I'm still having trouble with short singles.
Watching because of ETS2 is not easy i tell you that. I respect you sir.
Lazy? Lazy my ass! If you can pull it off, then more power to you!
As Jean-Luc Picard would say, "Nicely done!"
There's no way in hell he didn't practice backing those doubles on a regular basis. Especially as an OTR driver. Local drivers back way more then OTR does.
Excellent one shot
I’ve always wanted to try this.
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 !!!
That was awesome!!! You are a great driver. Best to you.
Nice job Driver 😎
I used to work the yard at YRC that dolly is the most aggravating thing on earth even if you back up straight without turning the wheel it’ll jackknife, it takes a lot of patience backing doubles
You have to tell the dolly where to go. If you wait for it to go where it wants its too late to correct it. Its much easier with a short tractor too i did it with a twin screw day cab. Took forever to learn it.
Looks like the SAC yard!
It is lol
Good job bro ! Gotta luv that power steering ! Keep on trucking in the free world................
You sir, are an awesome driver... just pulling a pair of "rocky mountain doubles" can be nerve wracking, especially in high wind situations... but backing them?
I tried backing a pair of doubles in a simulator once, and the damn thing ended up looking like a derailed train... so, yeah, much respect to ya bruh...
Thank you.
Nice job! I could do that 30 years ago with manual steer tractor at Roadway Express.
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!!!
Wow 😳😳, wait!! That's freaking awesome 😎
Good job. If I may comment here though, I think you're over steering and trying to do it too quick. It is not easy to do. It is not lazy. You should always use as much space as you can. You got it done and only those who've never done it will judge harshly. 😊
Hey you did a GREAT Job..... But that looks very challenging......
Good job back up
One hard as f job done mate. if this was me, i would have unhooked all the dollys and trailers and parked them separately and probably took 20mins to do it
only 1% can back up a piggy back, great job sir!
You got skills!! Awesome!!
you got all my respect. screw the haters
Yup I've never seen anyone back up doubles before but you made is possible
nicely done man
Good job driver! Made it look easy
The dummies who think they can do better probably never even driven doubles, let alone backing. Awesome job getting between trailers. I do have to say it's easier with a daycab, great job regardless.
Total Skills!!!
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.
I told my coworkers i could back doubles and that it could be done they say it impossible but I'm goin to show this video to them
Probe them wrong sir😂!!
Its a matter of not over thinking the situation
I also worked for OD. I was successful once at this.
That is amazing👍🏿
I just watched him do it and I need a beer...
Me too.😂🍺
I pull doubles and I didn’t even know that this was a possibility
Imagine triples
Amazing backing there, driver. Year three on the road for me---I have yet to see this done in person at any customer or truckstop.
