This video should be used in every trucking school for new drivers to see. What an amazing skill this driver shows on backing up a set of doubles! I had to watch it twice because it was so impressive. Thank you to the driver and to whoever filmed this and posted to TH-cam !
Meanwhile the fastest I backed up a STAA double was 20 minutes in a simulator. Hats off to the driver, he developed a skill that few have the patience to learn.
That was a good job! Set-up, patience, and practice are how you master backing up doubles. This driver has skills, and I like he wasn’t revving the engine, and riding the clutch backing up. If you are just backing the dolly up to the rear trailer to hook-up, his set up maneuver was good for that also. The dolly is opposite the lead trailer, you want it to go left turn the wheel left. In straight backing usually when you see the dolly in the mirror it’s to late, hence the slight curve in set-up. Don’t be a wannabe and put the forks through the rear trailer, get close and check. You can’t make chicken soup out of chicken sh*t, pull-ups are ok.
I used to back into the dock with doubles and even parallel parked between other trailers on the street. It takes patience and practice, not for everyone.
Great job Driver! i used to do that in the party row at truck stops, i had more guys come out with a huge smile on there mouths and shake my hand! Cheers!
No I pulled them over the road. Took empty to get loaded for the route drivers to deliver meat the next day. When they got back I took off again. This is when I first started. After 12 years I got where I never pulled up anymore.
I started out there as a shuttle driver. The job was to pull doubles 500 miles round trip. That was the job title. Double shuttle driver. Alot of companies only hire one driver to save money on drivers, equipment, insurance.
Well D&%#n Going to have to amend my "can't" be done! KUDOS 2U! ! ! but you did make it clear why, , , all the corrections needed and made possible to creep up on it only by an extremely short wheel base tractor. All my personal experience was in a double sleeper 220" wheel base cabover Pete 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍/10

With doubles, pullups are your friend. They are like GOALS. Great Job.
Skill, patience, and persistence on display here--now THAT'S a real trucker! Hats off to you, Driver.

Quite amazing. What I find insane is those who can back up the triples. I swear those fellas ain't human.
Very impressive. People will ask- “why do you pull forward so many times?” Try it once and you’ll see!

I’m gonna have to try this. Just got my doubles and triples endorsement
Pure professionalism at work here!!!
Truly a battle of attrition lol, well done
Beast!!!! I just finished my first week of training on the trailer shifter here at UPS!!! Goal right here!!!!
Woooo well I can back up double trailers now! I am now just practicing on reversing it to a bay door like a single trailer!
Awesome job. I learned a lot from this video. Thank you for sharing.
good skills, i just started pulling sets 14 months ago. hope to be able to do this soon
That was awesome! I'm still having a hard time just " cowboying" the lead with the dolly. I hope to get this good. Well done brother.

That was my job. Pulling two trailers for the route drivers to take out.

Harder in a day cab. I always oversteer when in a shorter tractor. Maybe I'm just used to a sleeper. Dude has skills
good job... :-)
