That was super nice of you calling the other driver a dummy and then judging him bases on who he drives for.
You're the future of trucking!
thanks for word of encouragement because u got people who are impatient for new drivers who are just starting trying to be safe and do things right and safe
Good job man. I’m a 4 month rookie and good to see things are done right
Nice video. My first trainer made me back into a parking space every time we stopped, no pull-thrus. He said do this every time you stop your first year and you will have the skill and confidence to do it the rest of your life. You can't get batter at backing by never backing or backing only once a day at a customer.
Yeah, my Trainer was patient and he loved to watch me figure out the wheel. Getting your truck in the right 90 degree angle first and make sure the rear wheels of trailer are ON THE Yellow line that you can SEE. Then , back up, so you don't have to worry about the trailer and space on your blind side, blind side is very easy if you do it that way. You can always slide that trailer down the line too close to the trailer out of your drivers window........ THEN pull up and get it all right, but as you get better, just get er in the pocket first , worry later about centering your trailer, ya know?
What I've been doing you cant get better without practice
True I agree with you. There's no competition when you are backing up on the dock. I am proud of her and the work she is doing. I am a trucker too, I always get happy when I see a woman like me driving big ring.
Nice job of being supportive and positive with her. You go girl!!! I hope to be there soon with my husband.
She is doing good and she is very pretty. Take care of her.
I need this trainer, I been driving for almost 3 weeks, and no backing/hooking/ unhook trailer, or extending the tandem experience. He's Awesome!! Both are good!!
So i agree with you 99 percent. What i would do different is leave the landing gear off the ground a 1/4 inch, dump your bags to set it on the ground and slowly pull out stopping to make sure the landing gear is good. Being a local driver doing multiple drops a day, nothing pisses me off more than having to get out of my truck to raise the landing gear on a loaded trailer with a shitty crank because its not even close to sitting on my fifth wheel.
YOU GO GIRL!!!!!! I cant wait to start driving....those mountains behind you are beautiful!!! just have to pass the parking then i will be on the road TOO!!!
What’s so funny is that the experts act like their shit don’t stink and they’ve been driving perfect since day one. They’re the Jesus Christ’s of trucking and think they’re superior to everyone else. This lady did her best job she may have went out a little too far when she did a serpentine but she’s going to learn. Great job, practice makes perfect!
good thing you actually did your pre trip and found the flat
Excellent video. I deliver for Wally World-grocery side-and had 3 flat tires on a loaded trailer. Fortunately, I was at the distribution center and able to have on-site maintenance fix. However, early in my civilian, trucking career I did the ole’ tap-tap thing with the tires. Now, I look as well as listen. Any questions, I get my manually calibrated, tire pressure gauge, with adjusting screw to check the tire pressure.
I went through my company’s 18 day orientation program, but they didn’t provide an example of low tire pressure by doing the tap-tap test. Just like they don’t teach you how to back a rig between 2 TRACTORS with trailers.
Thanks for your TH-cam Channel.
Loving the patience...practice makes perfect and she's getting it done! Be safe!
Respect the lady!
He can’t help it, he is just rude!
Can be challenging backing up for new drivers, it takes time to get use to turn left go right, but if you hold the bottom of the steering wheel you turn left go left.
I will say PRIME in Missouri seems pretty good, I use to deliver parts to their Springfield depot and the trainers/drivers were always grade A personalities. I've been contemplating getting my CDL and heading over there for my 1-2 year pound of flesh before finding something local/regional.
Also 24:15 a neat trick....drive the tire over a ratchet strap, and ratchet the tire till the bead is flush with the rim and then air the tire.....it has saved me countless times on many vehicles and would work the same on a semi tire I wager.
Good video guys and good backing. be safe out there 👍👍
Junior Honduras hi my brother I really need your number phone please
Thanks for this excellent how to video. I won't be learning how to back up a trailer in a tight spot in my school so it's good to see it done.
Change schools
Nice to have a good trainer , I was out 2 months and backed up no more than 8-9 times, He was a good driver, and a nice guy, but he couldn't teach worth a shit.
The young lady who drive the blue it is amazing to see her drive very well and good driver the head salute ok peace of mind ok enjoy your day god bless you big sister ok
Other than the Swift bash, great job assisting her and explaining everything
Swift is known for having rookie drivers that's where alot of guys start
Prime is the same
@@TheTruelakersfan they have alot of new drivers??
@@comptonghost9013 yup
@@comptonghost9013 prime swift CR England Werner is starter companies
You're a lucky guy. You get to spend 24/7 with your best friend. With all due respect, she's got really pretty eyes and a great sense of humor. Makes me wish my wife and I worked together.
Good to know even experience driver have a lil trouble backing up. I'm getting ready to get that CDL. Thanks for the videos😊
Thanks for the very informative video as a new driver I know this is repetition that will make u do it right every time.
Selena is a good student, look very nice person, and have a good humor, and you are a good mentor 👍
Awesome job Selena!
very Good
Very good
I appreciate you and your wife in making this video as I am about to get my cdl and one day hit the road.
a heads up in winter i use Trigger-Start Torch Kit 2-Piece to heat up the box on the landing gear and i also use it on the break drums to when they are frozen to the drum all it takes is a couple of hits on the drums to free them up so im not out banging the drums and freezing my butt off just some stuff that i have learned in my 21 years on the road with that said stay safe and be nice to you fellow driver 10-4
You are very educative ,i like your teaching,you are good to be a trainer
I would like to see more of this. I love watching new people back up.
Love the brutal honesty in these vids. , Maybe i missed you do it , but i always crawl under and visually check to make sure the king pin is latched havent dropped a trailer in the 28 years been at this..
Buddy Layne Farms I will crawl under and check it also, but like anything if I feel a good solid HOOK and the rug test is strong I may whiz past it out of 20 years of bad habits now acquired haha, thanks for watching
In Africa, some of the Drivers don't spend much time on those things, anyway, she have done very well, we are also learning much from you,
Thank you
Truly enjoyed this video. Getting ready to start training with Swift. Have to remake myself due to Coronavirus. Motorcoach operator for 30 years. This video helps quite a bit. Be safe, happy motoring!
Buy Colloidal Silver water at Vitamin Shoppe. It's only a little bit in a spray bottle you need that kills all Viruses and all Bacteria. My doctor told me to get it, and now we all make our own , with our own kits. Watch TH-cam video to see how to make your own, it's an INEXACT science. You saturate baby wipes with your own ( pennies on a dollar) you make at home. Take baby wipes with you everywhere and keep them in the dark. No need to refrigerate your bottles you make or buy of Colloidal Silver.
If you get a Rhino Virus, a cold, snort the stuff up your nose, sinuses and let it roll down your throat. It kills the cold virus in minutes.
They put Colloidal sliver in newborns eyes to kill any bacteria or Viruses, and they put it in Surgical bandages because no germs can grow in it's presence......... such a necessary thing for all people to keep in their purse and on the truck .
Buy those blue or brown glass spray bottles ..........about a 2 oz. bottle and when you go home load up with new saturated baby wipes and refill your little spray bottle.
It even will kill a lung infection if you take a deep breath while you puff a spray of it into your mouth while inhaling air into your lungs. You will cough for a couple of seconds , but then your lungs are all cleared up.
You forgot to check your jaws on the fifth wheel.
If you back under with out air lines hooked up take chance trailer landing on your drive wheels, happened to me in New York State !!
@B O B Spelled backwards I think he is talking about a trailer dropped way low on the dollies, so that the tractor cannot get under them when hooking up. I try to find the yard jockey to help with lifting up the trailer so that I can crack down the dollies so that I can get in under the truck easier. If nothing at all, you might want to drop your air bags to get under the trailer.
You are a good teacher sir👏 my hasband got me traumatized...
Thanks so much! Everything said is loud and clear. Good job!!!
I always ask my trainees "why do you like working the steering wheel so much?" lol Eventually they learn but it does take practice.
You right, bro. God blessed you you guys.
That was fantastic! You both are great! Can the driver see the landing gear from the driver's seat? If not, how do you judge when they are on the concrete? Also, when backing up to a trailer to engage the 5th wheel, first how do you know you are centered on the trailer and how do you know whether you are far enough under the trailer to reach the 5th wheel? I'd like to go to CDL school, but I don't think they'd take a 68-year-old woman!! Thanks and I look forward to any other videos you show.
Just graduated from 160 driving academy, there’s no age limit. You should do it!
You line up the outside of your truck Wheels with the outside edge of the trailer and the Kingpin will almost always be centered on the 5th wheel. If you're a little off, the opening of the fifth wheel is designed to feed the Kingpin into the center to be locked in place.
A guy in another video said he was hired at Walmart driving a truck at age 64, so I think you can DO it!
He seems like the perfect teacher
He is a good teacher. He explains everything very well, but he bitches about having to put up with stuff. That's why they pay you the big bucks man. I'm glad he showed himself finding that flat tire. It re-enforces the importance of doing the pretrip. If you keep looking for stuff, and never finding anything, it becomes an exercise in futility.
She is the rising star and will outshine everyone, the Student will become the Master...Be Careful JF
You're such a good driver salute drive safety oh yeah! yes perfect park thank you, bro, you're a good instructor be safe both of you
Haha our company's mechanic once changed my airlines into some new long ones but didn't fasten it properly. They told me to go get the load first then they'll fasten them. Being the rookie I am I was like "ok". Sure enough, finally hooked onto my trailer, I pull out the parking and only 10 ft after pulling forward, the long cables get tangled in my drives and they tear up. I wasn't moving that fast since I just pulled out but the trailer's brakes kick on and pulled my truck to a hard stop lol
STEER from the BOTTOM of the wheel.
COMPLETELY solved my issue, IMMEDIATELY.
Learned from a farmer. G O L D .
You're welcome, pay me back by SHARING this gem.
One if the best in depth video
Working on getting a yard spotter job, and I did just a little worse on my company skills evaluation, not having done it before. Do it a lot more, and then you'll be a lot more comfortable doing it.
I was taught to leave a 1/2 inch between landing gear and ground so it makes it easier to connect for the next guy.
Martin told me a week ago to go pick up load 47 miles away, then call fore road service after im hooked to trailor. They got pissed because i was going to be late.
Correct lol! I drive a bus, i don't give a crap what other people do as long as im doing things right. Ony fail is if you hit something!
I'm in online classes now and will be starting hands on in a couple more weeks. I most appreciate the videos and people who know how to problem solve, explain the why and how, and don't just bitch.
For all you "SUPER TRUCKERS" never ever drive behind a trucker backing up!!!! STOP and let them backup.
Lance Kirkpatrick he told him to go around
Where are you truckers be safe I drive smart it makes Ben driver all red
Lance 72 don’t mind them , they always in hurry and they don’t want to assist we the new student and they give you that funny look
@B O B Spelled backwards , you know the drill, if there is plenty of room go slowly in front of rookie driver, let them see you , smile, wave and encourage them.
We've all been Rookies, it's a great way to see the world, parking is a show off stunt to me who have short Egos.... that doesn't make a man a man.
Real men are teachers, patient and kind. To me, that is a great MAN !!
It's like manscaping, a bit left or right.....you'd scrape or cut somin valuable. Great job.
Very good sir 🚛 .I like it. I'm working in Saudi Arabia driver
My Lord........its backing a trailer up in a MASSIVE YARD.........raining no snowing no at an angle no shunters steaming by no lights shining in your eyes no rough ground no walls or fences to knock into
Wow that's great 👍👍 Super amazing Drive nice Bro...i will watching from Nepal.......
As Selena is still learning, she did a good job.
Paul Whitear she's way better now, been several months since this video. She's a straight saltydog trucker now. Thanks for watching!!!
As an instructor from Smith and Solomon School in N.J., good video and congrats to all my students who are still out there on the roadways. Be safe, good luck.
You may have Me as one of your students!! I learned on a Cabover!! I Also am an inspector With Motor Vehicle
Been there almost 25 years!!! I used to do Diesel mechanics!!! Need to be Updated on Driving Conventinal Trucks
Learned Pretty much on Cabovers!! Just Need to get up to Speed!! Have An understanding of What to Expect!!! Just
Need to be Taught The RIGHT!!! Way!!! Work At The Randolph Station!!! And Also Learned On Heavy Duty Wreckers!!!
Hope To See you Soon!! STAY SAFE!!! And BE COOL!!!
Hello again, this is Lamont from Smith and Solomon TT School, NJ. With the sad pandemic issue going on, drivers are sorely needed to ship these goods, especially paper prods. Maintain your professionalism on the roads..Be sure to check your rig after a break, mainly the 5th wheel handle position, take nothing for granted. Be safe, vids coming..
You ought do one on sliding tandems and adjusting weight awesome job on this video thanks again for sharing
Your video is extremely helpful!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!
FYI, with the auto inflate system even if a tire is off the bead, if you drive it (not 70mph) a ways many times it'll re-seat and re-inflate. Have seen it happen.
She did fantastic.
Nice move on the hook up. Started doing that after nearly getting hit in the face with dolly handle lost the pressure it was under. Opinion of drivers who drop trailer and leave dolly handle in crank position?
I enjoy watching you two... so funny!!! To bad every marriage isn’t like yours!!!! Everyone would be better off.. be safe out there on the road!!!
Its not hard to back up a trailer if you pay attention to your surroundings, your mirrors. Always get out and look if you're not sure of how you are backing in
Beautiful truck. My favorite color is blue
On the air lines when I was first starting out, I always said red air line means right side.. Red for Right... Thank you for your video, I love your comments.
I think that she did a great job with backing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Don't forget to do circle checks at _all_ truck stops. Other truck drivers like to prank you by pulling your kingpin when you're in the showers or just getting yourself a sodie-water. Prime, Inc., Swift, and JB Hunt are favored targets.
That is so cute - borderline romantic! All that is missing is a candlelight dinner and silver candelabra!
At least a couple of beers to throw behind the trailer at the parking lot, to join the empty alcoholic beverage containers already there.
Go International Sisterhood of Teamsters!
Who are you kidding? We all care if we have to wait an hour for someone to have make simple backing maneuver. Safely is the most important, but let's face it; some people don't need to be driving these things. Some common sense and cartacy in required. This lady did fine, however, got no problem with that. Thanks for the video.
Can't wait to start driving..great video
Good for you boss your patern is really beautiful nature be save guys
I always turn the handle an extra two turns so that I can see daylight between my sliding plate and my apron. And when coupling I visually look at the king pin I never trust a tug and pull.
Got a question; the flat tire on the trailer will it still not rub your inner tire and create a fire hazard?
Right, check to b sure both landing gear feet go down. Thx!
after disconnect the trailer she must move a litle and after down suspenssion for not take away the greasse from fifth weell
Awesome video.. Thank you for sharing...
Hi Selena, I am new in this area so please bear with me, why is so important to move the tandem all the way to the back before backing into the bay area like the one you just on bay# 77? thank you.
Great instructor, enjoyed your video, thanks for helpful tips.
Vid was clear and straight to the point!
Refer to as Charging the system
Means your supplying the air tank with air - By pushing in the Red Valve ( TPV) Trailer Protection Valve.
My trainers were worried about miles didn't care about anything backing or paper work they just wanted miles am getting ready to go back out...liked ur all's video gonna watch more...just need more practice on backing do my set ups good just get a lil off kilter...lol anyways thanks for sharing stay safe and God bless
Thanks Man. You give a Very Informative Video.
She needs to be whippin' that landing gear up and down herself. 'Quick like a bunny.' That'll learn one faster than anything. Don't forget which way your going though . . I pulled the handle ONE time pickin' up, on a twelve trailer day. No disaster, caught myself, and almost peed laughing .. I work WAY too hard!
Question for you guys. If the other side landing gear does not go down how do you fix it? Just getting started in trucking! Thanks!
This is one of the good videos I see, thank you for the ilustración 👍
Swift isnt a bad company. I worked for them and its annoying when people make fun of them. They have more trucks on the road than any other company, and they treat their employees good.
Very nice madam your driving amazing
I love watching you guys you two are so good together 😊
I got hungup in college point queens anout 21 years ago . It was hell but the worst of it my address was a drop shipper and it took me hours to find a place to park so i could walk around to identify the location under another name. NO GPS NO PHONE . . It took 8 hours to accomplish a 3 hour job
She doing really good respect young lady
Love your truck!
Man she got this this guy sounds more nervous than she may /might even be he needs a granola bar🤣🤣🤣
Awesome job!!!! . She is good!!!
Drve Gangnam style!
Love intro👍💪🔧
good advice and techniques.....well done
Bad day when you pick up a trailer with a flat tire. Been there many many times brother.
I like both of your sense of humor hahaha great video
This is so helpful I’m wanting to get my trucking license
WOW! Go girl? I hope I will be able to do that some time.
