As a brand new pass that's only been taught to pass the reverse manoeuvre needed for the test this was very helpful to me. I do think that the reverse test should be at least reversing into a parking bay
As someone who has taught students reversing in motor cars to test standard I've always reckoned HGV class1 driver s to be the most talented drivers. This very informative and clear video has cemented my opinion. Great reversing skills and keeping it real in a working yard with real moving hazards to deal with! I see HGV drivers doing impossible reverses in far too small supermarket car parks, in the dark, in the wet, with parked cars every which way! Much respect to you all.
As a recent new pass who is struggling with reverse, this video has been very helpful in explaining the correct method to achieve the correct results at the end .
Passed my test at 21(now 37) only ever drove lowloaders for 10 years in and out of new housing estates cars everywhere got good at blind siding, no problems. Had a bit of a career change. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, I’m now back behind to wheel delivering to DCs and it’s like I’ve never drove one. I still struggle to back on a bay my angles can still go to shit I still can’t get use to reversing with an automatic gearbox. Great video, great instructor great the way you explain the “science” behind it all
Jason just a big thank you for this video 1 year ago i was doing lessons and watching this video...now 9 months driving and after hearing many times from other drivers it will come to you...I can now say it does.
Good tutorial. The instructor is decent; knows what he's doing and explains everything well. Also the other guy did really well; top reversing. I used to be a shunter driver in a factory yard and passed on my second attempt. Difficult skill to learn and what I found is that there isn't a lot of middle ground when learning to reverse a lorry; either you are good at it or terrible! Top tip: practice shunting trailers in an area with limited forward movement because there will be times on the job when you have hardly any room to manoeuvre.
I have just passed my HGV1 yesterday, after 20 years of hgv2 driving and it's a wake-up call. This video is educates, and I'm anxious to get going. Reversing is my weak point, 30 tonne rigid vehicles was a peace of piss.
Thanks Jason. I am returning to driving after a few years break. Excellent instructions. Very helpful. Much appreciated by me and many others I’m sure.
Best reversing video out there, brilliant instructions with some great banter thrown in to ease the nerves of his trainee, makes it look so easy, good effort by the trainee.
I’ve searched through numerous vids on the net to help me find peace with my reversing woes,I must say that this is the most helpful vid I have seen Very clear and helpful explanation and really shows new drivers what it’s all about Especially with those niggles every new driver gets once they’re qualified
I think this guy did brilliantly. Many drivers who have had their licences for even about 10 years can't do that. Also he had lots of cameras watching him. Well done Simon
I've been driving trucks for 32 years, 26 years on class 1 and I found this video very informative. Well done and thanks for sharing, I'm sure you've helped a lot of drivers.
I’ve been practicing for a week shunting lorries on the works yard, and no way is the guy teaching me even half as good at teaching as this guy is! I’m impressed, thanks 😊👍
Fotojensen thanks for that. But I’m not an instructor! Glad you found it useful. I offered my help to the driver, who at the time was having some trouble. So I thought, if I can help him maybe I could help others. This was the result! I never thought it would be received as well as it has! So grateful for all the positive comments.
Iam a 55year old, who has had a class 1 since I was 21. In that time I have only done a handful of class 1 jobs. Mainly done class 2 tipper work. Not driven any trucks for around 15 years due to health issues. But now looking to return to some sort of driving work. I am stressing about my reversing ability after so long. So loved watching your video to pick some great pointers. I could just do with an hour or so, doing some manoeuvring around a yard like yours. To renew my confidence.👍
Definitely agree with reversing looking out the window for new drivers like me .. great tip,, I'm a truck mechanic, lots of backing up into the workshop.....
Thanks for a great video. I'm back on the wagons after a 30 year break and your phrase about "driving the trailer in and not reversing it in" was just the reminder I needed to get my mindset back. Cheers. Love the scented candle gag at the start :)
Brilliant Jason. I was useless on my 3A test although I passed it on the second attempt. A large part of it was nerves. I was physically shaking when doing my uncoupling and coupling.
Dw I just done my reverse used 2 shunts (max) started well and nerves affected me to . Somehow passed got practical Tuesday bit more driving in morning . Lot to take In mate
Thank you jase been driving rigids for 40 years watching this as I've been put on shunting first time in an artic deep joy in your favourite truck xf105 the great thing is the help I've been getting off other truckers and my mentor coxy the shunter with his bosted wrist 👍👍👍👍
@Kieran Allen thank you wish you all the best with your new venture in the new year to be honest wasn't as bad as I thought mind you I only travel 300 yards on the road 😂 😂
Jason, failed my tesco assessment reverse last week. Watched this awesome video 3 times and passed my Sainsbury's assessment reverse today!! Cheers mate!!😄😄
Very good training there. Wish i had the same training when I passed the class 1. The driving school only teaches you to drive an reverse on a certain level just to pass the test. I recently had an assessment and faild because I was unable to put the trailer on a bay. The positioning at the beginning is very important, I didn't know that. Hopefully next time I'll do it better.
I'm not even a truck driver and I thought this video really helped with my own reversing methods. I drive a large van, so everyone thinks it's gonna be easy. Not always but this certainly did help! Thanks Jason, Thanks a million!!
Absolutely.... terrifying coming to your first bay reverse after passing my test... completely failed to reverse it, people watching with arms folded... luckily a fellow driver came and helped me 👍
Great video, like the drive it in rather than reverse it in advice that will be really helpful, just passed my class 1 and have already failed a job assessment because I can't reverse, I really feel like you are taught how to pass the reverse exercise because of time limitations rather than actually how to reverse. I could really do with an hour of practice reversing into bays like this guy had.
Would love to see more of this kind of content Jason. Especially with the licenses being combined soon, my main fear is going to my first job as a fresh pass having only experienced the one reversing manouver which you can just remember what to do based on the cones and being confronted with a tight bay or challenging reverse where you actually have to know how to manipulate your trailer and adjust to the surroundings. I was recommended this video 5 years later in the comments of a vlog, and as far as I've seen, it's still by far the best guide on TH-cam. There's a lot of information about passing the tests and vlogs following people on the job, but very little as detailed as this on the in depth techniques and mindsets that really help the new drivers being thrown in at the deep end.
Absolutely Excellent video, not only you have the patience with the chap, but you give him confidence and explain it like a pro. You got the camera angles spot on as well this is the best reversing an HGV video on the internet.
thank you for this very clear and direct tutorial. I have just started my new job and am totally crap at reversing into bay. Even though i drive on the left hand side i am so glad this has helped.
So much patience is shown by the trainer which is important when teaching, especially teaching things like this where mistakes could be lethal. I'm currently doing a C+E apprenticeship so this video has given me an idea what reversing is like to begin with.
On my 3rd week driving class 1 Jase , forward is a piece of piss but the reversing still getting me having to park between 2 trailers like this yard on Immingham docks only a few feet each side is very awkward but this video has helped me millions cheers buddy ;-)
@@JasonWaltonDriveAlong hi saw your video on reversing a truck really enjoyed it thinking about my class 1 any advice be much appreciated had my class 2 for 17 years
Philip says you are both awesome. The main guy at reversing you make it look so easy buddy another twelve years yet buddy brilliant teacher we respect your skills from the learners. 👌🤘🍺🍺 keep safe and well happy trucking lads phil.
I couldnt reverse the truck during my lessons took shunts. Went for my test did it once. I was shocked at how i managed it. After watching your video a few days after my licence came back. The trainer thought i was kidding when i said i was a new driver. Thanks to your video
Hey Jason This is a great video, i have my first class 1 job next week and although have held my licence for 15 yrs i haven't used it, done a day formularisation training last year but this has made me feels a lot more confident and given my memory a good jog! great video and great way of teaching.....thanks and well done
Just passed a few weeks ago and I’m in the same boat with reversing just can’t get my head around it and everyone just says it will just click haha… would love to spend a hour with someone like jason
spot on video I've recently passed my class 1 and some days it goes well and some days I'm terrible. I'll try driving the trailer in like you say when I'm back at work. thabks
Not long passed my test (last week) still yet to get my first class 1 job but reversing on my lessons was always the most difficult part but this video is 100% helping with my confidence! Thanks alot mate 👍
@@Crypto-stacker4 I am mate, I've had a few jobs since but I've found myself settling in and driving for aldi now which I'm really enjoying at the minute!
Hi ! Good bless you ! When I did the driving school the didn't teach me how to reverse a class 1 ....Since I start driving class 1 I was watching a lot of videos about reversing and from your video I get the trick. Thank you !
Amazing reversing. A pleasure to watch. You are the man. Wish you local to me so you can teach me. Had my licence for 4 months and reversing is still something that gives me anxiety. Hope to one day master it like you. Thanks , best video I have seen.
Hi Jason. I like this video. I have just failed my assessment for a job, but will study this video even more,to give me a chance. I really struggle on my reverse. It blows my bloody mind.
There are narrow streets that are busy with people and vehicles and street furniture and high kerbs in the dark and raining and no one to help you main thing is not to rush it can be very stressful your always afraid of doing damage or hitting something or someone practice practice practice and practice again
Thanks for a good vid. ive had my licence for years since been in the forces but never used it in many years... just done a refresher in Widnes and got my tacho and digi card and ready to go. cheers
When doing my training I was doing fine on the reversing, getting in 1st with my head out of the window. Instructor then tells me try not to stick your head of the window and use your mirrors. I found it a lot easier with my head out and looking back. Afterwards I was doing fine, getting a bit to cocky and taking a a shunt or 2 but getting in for a pass. On the actual test you're mind just goes blank and your nerves kick in bit luckily I did fine and passed with 2 shunts, the examiner said I didn't have to take the 2nd one, I know but I wanted the trailer straight in the bay.
Hi Jason. Failed my Tesco reverse. 58 yr old new driver!! Paid for courses my self, ouch. happy to pay for a days tuition, need to learn to reverse n work.. let me know . Cheers great video
I'm not a truck driver, but I liked this video. the nearest I get to driving a truck is in Eurotruck simulator 2 and American truck simulator. the reversing 'seems' to be the same principal. i wonder how these games compare to the 'Real thing'.
I smiled all the way through this video.. so good .. thanks Jason . I drove triple spits on Seddys for 10 years when I was young then did 20 years of IT sat at a desk, now about to take my medical to get my Class 1 back and go back to driving at 53. In all the years I did IT I don't think I was ever as happy as I was at the wheel of a bendy one. But I still get the shivers when I think of blindsiding it. Over confidence causes more accidents then lack of experience in my opinion. 100 shunts is better than one accident. But I'm nervous as hell of the reversing after all this time, but Ill do what i was taught by my old driving mentor, slow as fuck.. safe as fuck.. again thanks Jay.
Was kind of thrown in to taking my Class 1 after never in my 47 years of life getting into such a big beast, so, after only 14 hours training, I take my test tomorrow and probably like many others was shitting myself about the reversing side of things as it confused the fluff out of me. This video has give me a bit more insight so fingers crossed for tomorrow...Thanks
Very good video mate, I’ve been driving class 1 for 8 months now. I’m ok at reversing at the shops still struggle to go in between 2 trailers, But we’ll get there.
I'm 5 weeks in and learned a lot watching you , my biggest problem Reversing onto a bay is when I'm touching the Banana bar on my offside for instance , trying to straighten it up closer to the nearside
round the corner from where I used to work in a cannock that is.. just got my class 1 and took a job at stobarts but could of done with a day reversing like this
You’re brilliant at reversing. Thanks for the tutorial. Started my first lesson today at reversing the Artic today. Lots to learn and Thanks again for the Vid 👍
Here I am, only recently passed my class 1. Forward driving well. :-) Reversing... I have the basics... But need to join it all together so I can reverse onto the bays 'straight' lol. Great videos Jason. Thank you. Would really like to see the cab cam from overhead ... to see the steering in action. Great coaching too :-)
Great video pal I’ve had my class2 for 4 years and just passed my class1 and I’m really struggling with reversing into bays but this has really helped 👍

8 years down the line and stll the best reverse vidoe on facebook Your the Man Jason

Small steers and often instead of big handfuls is the best advice I ever had,great vid.
True
I think this guy did brilliantly. Many drivers who have had their licences for even about 10 years can't do that. Also he had lots of cameras watching him. Well done Simon

Was kind of thrown in to taking my Class 1 after never in my 47 years of life getting into such a big beast, so, after only 14 hours training, I take my test tomorrow and probably like many others was shitting myself about the reversing side of things as it confused the fluff out of me. This video has give me a bit more insight so fingers crossed for tomorrow...Thanks
Fingers crossed.
Jason, i always say its as easy as you make it....getting your position is a must! Good video and i am sure many will learn from this!!!
My reversing practises at the yard been shit, after watching this I'm much more confident now.
Very good video mate, I’ve been driving class 1 for 8 months now. I’m ok at reversing at the shops still struggle to go in between 2 trailers, But we’ll get there.
I'm the same mate. Getting on a bay is fine, even if tight...getting between trailers, unless theres a boatload of room is a lot less fine lol
I'm looking to add class 1 to my licence in the next couple of months and this video reassures me that it's not as difficult as it looks.
I'm 5 weeks in and learned a lot watching you , my biggest problem Reversing onto a bay is when I'm touching the Banana bar on my offside for instance , trying to straighten it up closer to the nearside

Bonnie glad it helped. Just take it one step at a time. Be aware of your surroundings. If you’re not sure, get out and walk around the vehicle.
Here I am, only recently passed my class 1.
Forward driving well. :-)
Reversing... I have the basics...
But need to join it all together so I can reverse onto the bays 'straight' lol.
Great videos Jason. Thank you.
Would really like to see the cab cam from overhead ... to see the steering in action.
Great coaching too :-)
