For all you haters out there this trainee is in 2 years with safe miles that is the important thing here and he's becoming a trainer these are the drivers that we need
We flatbed drivers need more videos like this one. Just started last week, I had some great backings at the shipper but the truck stops are kicking my ass.
@@thisperson6655 it's a difference backing on cdl school with cones then backing in real life scenarios with trucks trailers different angles different space.
@@kenp9199 yes and as a veteran trucker that’s hauled everything from box to oversized permitted to what I do now is smooth bore tanker hazmat, in case you do not know it’s the pinochle of truckers. GET OUT AND LOOK , if you think you are that secure at all times with your ability to back at all times you are complaisant, which means if you have not had a accident yet well you are do , complaisant it will happen.. Hope you as a fellow driver will will understand this
Axel, if you put a mountain dew bottle 10 feet in front of the tarp, he wouldn't end up too far to the left side. All you have to do is back around with the front trailer axle. I would do that myself sometimes , just so I would know for sure where the trailer is in relationship to the hole. He did a great job, and number of backs don't count anymore, but the number of hits do! So many people worry about how long/how many backs, hey backs are free, hitting someone is what costs.
Bill 777 I’m a new driver. I try to take my time backing and do my get out and looks, but these older drivers be about ready to fight if they think I’m taking too long 🤷🏽♂️ Backing a split axel in a tight truck stop spot can be stressful!! 😂
@@justmyperspective7430 they can either run up and get done up, or they can wait. Either way, i aint gonna worry with them. For real, number of pull ups and goals don't count against you in the real world, number of hits do. Gotta protect yourself, driving record, and not some impatient asshat who can't understand everybody isn't a pro right out of the gate.
I agree with getting out and looking sometimes. but not sitting In the middle of the parking lot before he even starts backing up. But that's just my OP. But good job teaching and good job by the driver.
I wanted to work for this company but i was nervous about doing the Physical Agility Test im kinda out of shape and didnt want to not pass and not have a job if i came back.great job on this video
You’re an awesome trainer bro! I work for Melton, i see ya’ll everywhere lol i love the trucks ya’ll have.. I struggle with my backing too, we were taught to 12 to 9 but we’re in a 53’ trailer so its annoying.
@@rolp154 had the same problem while in training now all I did was night driving and he would arrive to all the 01 and 90 and I had to talk to the dm about it
I wish there were more videos on how to park. I’ve been with TMC for about 6months now and will not park unless there are multiple spots around me or if I can pull in. I just never got it down. I can blind side real good though but won’t try it if the truck stop is full
Bro you have a great attitude, good charisma. You know how many trainers get mad, take their hat off throw it on the ground and make the student feel like ....Great Job!!! and thanks for being one of the good trainers
I was trained with someone that was yelling at me all the time this is why I don't do that to them because I didn't learn anything and by yelling at trainees they will never learn the right way
Toughest backing I ever had to do was a 4 wheel wagon with a tractor. front wheels of the wagon move and front wheels of the tractor move. Your student did a nice job.
I'm escaping CDL school this week. Kentucky test doesn't include alley dock so the school doesn't teach it (it's straight back, offset, parallel). You're trainee is doing good, must have a good trainer :)
that's the downside to him getting in and out all those times... HOWEVER... at least he won't be one of those dudes on those "trucker parking fail" vids ripping off the front bumper of his neighbors truck
Just for clarification, the proper time to dump air on the rear axle appears to be when your front axle is entering the spot so you can safely swing the tail in tighter am I understanding that right?
I wish the Russian kid that hit my trk @1am had been trained this way!! But he was still driving on a Florida permit with no trainer! See the video in my personal videos!
TMC Unit 13632 decided to sleep at the fuel island in Buffalo TX. He pulled ahead but his trailer was still blocking the pumps. I got up at 3am to fuel and leave just to realize this guy is either sleeping or ditched his truck. Pilot people couldn’t get anyone to answer the door & other drivers said the truck was parked there for hours. This was June 2022. I admire TMCs tarping but lmfao that was the worst thing I’ve ever seen at a truck stop in 3 years otr. (Edit i complained to tmc sending photos of it and nobody responded) lol
What you got here is a panoramic view of how Keppler and Newton calculated work, power and gravity into an elliptical cosine vertex. Perfect art and science !!! Enjoy the flic. Thanks TMC.
Dang, Axel, I hope I get a trainer like you when I start trucking this summer. Encouraging and patient. Methinks TMC needs to give you a greater role in their training department.
Good job driver and good job trainer ... all of us CDL drivers had to learn somehow .... none of us were born knowing what to do .... piss on all the haters because they've forgotten what it was like when they were learning.
Making my eyes bleed. 11 years ago I worked for TMC for over a year. Learned a couple of things about them. Pay sucks, 65mph is in human and I never wanted to see another tarp in my life. Also spend hours and hours waiting to load steel. I switched to reffers. No touch, good pay and very little waiting. Also, TMC like Swift, Warner, Cr England and a few others is mostly new drivers. Ya gotta earn your stripes somewhere though. But I would recommend a dry van or refer company. Tarping in high winds or the dead of winter is a killer.
Same here.I did flatbed for 20 yrs.Moved to Tanker.Its more intimidating to drive because of the surge,but I make way more money,and don't work as hard.
Sharper turning radius--or backing radius, lol. Spread axle trailers don't turn or corner near as true as closed tandems due to the friction on that front axle; the pivot point is actually on the rear axle. Dumping the air on the rear axle puts the pivot point on the front axle to help shorten the radius--but if you're not careful you can cut a corner too sharp. I ran with TMC for four years; haven't had a dump axle valve since, but when I did have one it did save my behind a few times.
No one ever taught me anything about parking .. but I knew there must be some Tricks to it.. 9:0010:00 stay as close to your parking spot side as you can when setting up . Mark a spot to turn out .. the 45 degree angle between the Landing gear and the firves.. I never pulled a 9 foot spread .. So which axle do you dump air out of? I have been pulling a 53' Reefer you can slide the tandems on them ..
Putting a spread axle flatbed into a hole seems a lot easier to do than a tandem 53 footer box gotta chase those things in those flatbeds don’t runaway from you to fast and can be controlled don’t know if TMC uses 48 footers though
@@patrickharris2447 so far so good. Instructors know what they're talking about and very straight forward. First week was spent mainly in the class room, DOT physical and some agility tests. We did load securement this weekend and will be driving and backing for this coming week
@@patrickharris2447 its 2 weeks if you already have your CDL. 3 weeks if you don't have it yet. And then 4-5 weeks with a trainer. Final road test. And then get your own truck
What I'd really like to see is you finding a parking spot after sunset LOL.An awesome job would have been true if he didn't get out and look 20 times! But I get it, he's a rookie!
Yeah, I've never understood that. We got 2 free pull ups, and 2 free GOAL. Like if i have to get out 50 times and pull up 50 times to keep me from ruining somebodies day, ima do it.
DMVs aren't creating a culture of safety. If they want to focus on safety, unlimited GOALs. They should allow as many pull ups in a ratio to trailer size. 53 ft trailer / half or more. 1 GOAL and 1 Pull Up just add unnecessary stress and are not realistic. I spent the last 4 weeks doing backing manuevers from 8AM until 6PM, an extra pull up or two prevents stress, increased accuracy/confidence and decreased cones hit. Better to measure 10 times and cut once...
You're the best trainer I've ever seen. I'm very interested in coming to TMC. Looking at Maverick too tbh. I want a company that looks after their drivers and with TMC's ESOP - can't really beat that...
I am scared to back into spaces with trucks on both sides. I over steer mostly and don't practice enough. Last month I was alone at fed ex in bloomington. It took me 45 min. But I did it and didn't wreck anyone's sh*t. Its embarrassing but I won't give up. Even with you dinosaur drivers being mean. 🙄
All the strange backs at customers seem to just work for me but t stops have been stressful. Lots of landing early to burn reestate. I think the problem ive been having is that i crank to hard on the initial setup. I'll try the 9 10 next time I land.
I'm starting my CDL course on Monday 6/24/19 and I was seriously considering TMC as my first company. Backing up trailers is really difficult and the part I worried about the most. I hope I get you as a trainer or someone with your training style.
What about when there is a lot of traffic in the lot at night time? How many times can he get out and walk around the truck without other drivers becoming annoyed?
@@truckeraxelmunoz4939 I know they can. But you didn't answer the whole question. What do you do when other truckers get violent? I'm sure it happens. Do you fight them? Or do you pull away in defeat? Just curious. I know what I would do.
You need to understand this is the right way to train would you like him parking his truck next to yours on his first week of training this is why there's so much accidents on trucks stop
5:25 couldn't he have pulled forward, pulled up a smidgen and corrected? He was on the button, almost. Once I know where I am on the yellow line, I know where my blindside is.
This is a good video but it's obvious this is in the middle of the day and not at 4 or 5 pm. Cause by now you would have so.many truckers backed up behind you yelling for you to get moving.
I never get out and look. It's good to show people it's good to do that at first but I don't at all anymore really. I definitely would if I had to though. Not worth hitting anything
As for the whole do what your trainer tells you. I was teaching my first trainer how to tarp freight when i first started. He dropped me off at a terminal and the second trainer i got couldnt back up worth a damn. I was better than he was within 2 weeks. Just because they are trainers doesnt mean anything.
It's not about the pretty lawn. The point is they tell you not to walk on the grass one time. You're an adult, not a child. If you can't follow the most simple rule, how do you expect them to trust you with a $200k truck? It's their way of weeding out the idiots.
They are actually LEDs and they dont stay on solid. They actually flash. But they flash so fast your eyes see them as a solid, however the frame rate on the camera cant keep up.... hence the strobing affect.

I stayed at TMC about 5 seconds, found out at the time they were charging customers $100-$110 to tarp a load and giving the driver$10 for their labor.
Tarp pay is 30$ the fuck you talking about?

As for the whole do what your trainer tells you. I was teaching my first trainer how to tarp freight when i first started. He dropped me off at a terminal and the second trainer i got couldnt back up worth a damn. I was better than he was within 2 weeks. Just because they are trainers doesnt mean anything.
at TMC?
No that was swift some years ago.
Why did you guys dump the air and how
Great job driver!
Just wondering does GMC aka the Michel corporation still fire any driver or personnel who walks there pretty lawn
Thats what they say i haven't seen it
It's not about the pretty lawn. The point is they tell you not to walk on the grass one time. You're an adult, not a child. If you can't follow the most simple rule, how do you expect them to trust you with a $200k truck? It's their way of weeding out the idiots.
@@truckeraxelmunoz4939 I gave the dumb ass an answer for you.😆
Guess them dropped trailers on his front blind side helped
Turn signal lights on white freightliner next to UPS trailers are possessed
Lmao I just saw that
They are actually LEDs and they dont stay on solid. They actually flash. But they flash so fast your eyes see them as a solid, however the frame rate on the camera cant keep up.... hence the strobing affect.
It likes that pretty Pete..lol
