I watched a Jim Pearson driver do this at Woolworths Acacia Ridge depot without even stopping. He did the same as this guy and put the b trailer straight down the guts of a finger dock. People who have never driven a truck can’t appreciate how good these guys are.
I take my hat off to you for 3 reasons mate, 1) you're a f*cking good driver, 2) you film all your corrections, instead of just cutting up a glory roll - people learn so much from watching how you guys correct your backing! & 3) you did it in an Agony!!! Thanks for posting this.
Wow I never thought about the skill involved in trucking! Some of the places drivers have to maneuver are insane! That was awesome! Thank you for sharing! We love truckers! Thank you for all you do for us! ~ NobileMaiden
It sucks that truck drivers are not considered a "skilled" position by Border Protection so I can't get a work visa to migrate to AU from the US with my family. At least we can still visit. Great job backing, we have guys here that can't back a single 53' as easy as you back that B double.
A few decades ago a bunch of clowns in suits decided to class truck driving as unskilled labour. Yeah righto. What you're seeing here is just the driving part. Then there's the knowledge of weights, measures and correct load distribution. Then there's dangerous goods, safe load restraint and food transport, all separate knowledge bases in their own right. You can't get a degree in it but it takes more than three years to accumulate this knowledge in full and much like doctors, dentists and nurses requires upgrading as the standards change and techniques and equipment improve.
Totally agree with what you have said back then it was a passion for a lot of drivers I still work for the same company and have seen different people coming through and for lot of them that passion is not there it’s just A way to earn some decent dollars That is my view anyway thanks for the comment
@@TheTerry1818 Have to be honest I haven't driven trucks for 14 years. I've been driving buses, currently charter work. I like where I am but I'm looking at going back to trucks but moving up from HC to MC. I'm in Perth so a lot of B double and road train work. I've been in transport and logistics most of my working life. I've worked everything from order picker to truck driver and been a transport supervisor and yard manager. My stepdad drove his own trucks in the 60s, last one being a Mack muncher. He advised me a long time ago to steer clear of driving trucks if I could. I've always had a draw to it, partly because not everyone can do it. Unfortunately it seems a number of employers are now putting unskilled/unmotivated people in trucks. Whether it's a passion or not there's a basic integrity of doing what you're paid to do to the best of your ability, that includes improving knowledge and skill. There's a major problem with attitudes, not just in truck driving. I'm now 58 with a daughter in year 7, started late. This will be the last hoorah before leaving the workforce, probably 10 years or so. Thanks for taking the time to reply, cheers.
Yeah baby up the Jimmy P’s, Whenever I travel and driving up the M1 I know I’m getting close to home when I see more and more of those familiar Red and white trucks. The Main Port Macquarie Depot is only a few minutes down the road from my place, So I can pretty much follow them home. The drivers I’ve met and spoken to seem like an awesome bunch of guys.
Same here and I've seen them all the way to WA and knew JP/Snr back then. He ran a tight ship (from all accounts) but his drivers were the best and he would ask if I ever saw them doing wrong while driving across the big paddock...never happened. Know I'm late to this party, but was great watching this video, thanks for posting.
@@AW-pz3qc 5 years later and I still live right near their Port Macquarie depot, The only difference now is I'm mainly in My bus out cruising the highway with them. Some of the new trucks they are getting look Mint, I've noticed they seem to be moving away from the Freightliner Argosy's and towards the Mercedes I think the Actros in all clean white with just the logo. Rather then the red and white paint scheme, The drivers are definitely awesome always get a friendly wave from them.
I watch Pearson Transport's B-Doubles as they chug along the Pacific Highway between Sydney and Brisbane. Tight rigs - new gen Freightliner cab overs, mostly. Good looking rigs. Thanks for posting. Keep on trucking.
....very good skills man. B double driving is more challenging than semis....therefore more rewarding. Anybody can drive a semi, bdoubles however are on a whole different level.
Great job mate, sweet video , I rather be driving the semi than the bdouble because if I'm doing local I can park up anywhere and just head down to the supermarket or my home but with a bdouble , very limited space, I've been driving it for so long it could do it in my sleep but yea wish there was more "space"
I have to admire, trailers always in allmost perfect line, corners allmost perfect. I would like to see how you would manage in my country roads (R.of Croatia , Europe) That would be a sight.
@RonnyDonny13 Other way around mate In a bdouble b trailer goes right you turn to the left but you focus on which way the first tri axle group goes and just make the a trailer and prime mover work as one as opposed to a single where if your trailer goes to the left you turn to the left to follow it 👍
It definitely is more easy to take sharp turns with two trailers than on long trailer without crossing lanes. Backing would still be more difficult. The truckers in Kansas haul 130 foot long wind turbines it’s ridiculous looking at one long straight trailer like that. They have to block off the road for them to turn. The US still has doubles and Missouri and Kansas have 100ft triple combos just not common.
But it all begs the question !!!!!!!!!!!! WHY ???????????? Just drop the fuckers out and put them in one at a time. !!!!! Only reason to put the whole rig in the dock is that you have a drive thru' combo. Otherwise you are just holding up traffic.
Depends on the skill and experience of the driver (drover) I have witnessed more than one B-doublist being told to vacate the yard and come back one at a time. I have also seen them tangle themselves up so severely that hoses and electrical lines between trailers were broken -- and THAT really takes up EVERYBODY'S time while mobility is restored. On the other hand I have seen a guy put his 2 trailers up a fairly steep ramp and into a finger dock - between bollards protecting the doorway - at night. That deserved and got respect. But why back into a dock and then break up the set and do it all over again ---- can't see any time saving there - just laziness at the expense of those waiting to get past to another dock or to just get out of the place.

Wow good job mate .it was struggle for me when i did on semi first time.

@@TheTerry1818 , my pleasure young fellow.
P.s. finger docks suck
Loads of room in the dock .Still great smooth driving ...

Great stuff and great driving I’m from port myself and lake rd isn’t the best at all let alone with a b double on

Damn! That was SKILLS!
great job..you make it look easy!
Excellent driving skills 👍
That second trailer does follow well, I'd love a turn in that 👌
I have to admire, trailers always in allmost perfect line, corners allmost perfect. I would like to see how you would manage in my country roads (R.of Croatia , Europe) That would be a sight.
Doubles turn shorter than singles. The can make tighter turns and corners.
Awesome 👌
Sndc yennora ?
A different perspective, good work.
It's bad enough towing an articulated trailer, let alone a double articulated trailer. Good work.
Just curious what brand and model of truck you are driving?
It is an Argosy Freightliner with a series 60 Detroit not sure of the year model and was an automatic
Your a good driver hats off to you mate I want to drive b dubs but fuck me those docks
Hey mate
Great skills

Thanks for the comment mate. I would prefer to drive a single too.
Very nice I know the place well. I think I would split them along the fence I dont think I could back a double.
@RonnyDonny13
Other way around mate
In a bdouble b trailer goes right you turn to the left but you focus on which way the first tri axle group goes and just make the a trailer and prime mover work as one as opposed to a single where if your trailer goes to the left you turn to the left to follow it 👍
That’s as good as it can get.
Good Job
Great job!!Best driver!!
Nice one,what a shit hole that place is (Woolworths Yennora) if they worked any harder, they would be going backwards!
Peter Francis I pick up and drop off trailers at woolies yennora , it’s a cunt of a thing backing doubles in there docks
Bloody fantastic job ......
Skill, very nice
Shit hot mate
He worked at Brambles.
👌👌👌🇦🇺🇦🇺💯
I like to see the driver but stll i say to you v.good job
Thanks for the comment
Thanks for the comment
Good mate of mine was the main designer of the then B Doubles.Just sayin'

That's just fucking bananas

yeah good work mate
On the average drive between sydney and coffs harbour, you will pass around 10 jim pearson trucks. Both directions.
