Drivers like these are not from any schools when you're that young. He is Well taught, Good Job! I have seen "newbies" just trying to back in a single trailer with at least 5ft on either side of the box and took them at least 10 min to back it in! Some were not meant to drive big rigs, BUT this GUY KNOWS HIS STUFF!
@@p2o8wer Only good thing about doubles is that you can make two delivers and two pick ups. That’s it... And in a yard that has the room or a proper entrance and exit.
No the average person has no a single clue. The only thing more impressive than this guy backing B trains is this one guy id watch back double and triple A trains like they where one trailer
@@lt4324 or someone that grew up driving trucks in video games. I got a few buddies that can back up trailers like madmen and most don't have more than 5 years of professional driving.
@@B.Jones97 Five years ago, I had to have an assessment at a company for a job. I had 10 years experience. There was a driver's trainer that look how I drive, he was around 60 yo, very grimmy, he didn't even talk about anything else than only to give orders. He asked me to reverse the trailer at a normal spot with a gap of max one foot on both sides. I tried five times. He stopped me, asked me to get out of the truck, take a deep breath, walk around of the truck and return. When I got in the truck he asked me to wait till he goes around the corner and that I had 2 minutes to park it. He knew how stressful is if someone looks at you.
From someone that backs b doubles and triple road trains in Australia you did a good job IV seen people drive for years and not be able to do what you just did. So good work man keep it up
I only tow a 20' trailer behind my Chevy 3500 (I'm a landscaper), and even THAT is too tight for some areas. Manipulating one trailer in order to steer the second on a narrow road into a narrow driveway is something I don't even wanna think about.
This should have been a 2 min. Video. How many times did he pull forward? How many attempts? Anyone with 5 years experience.with b trains should be able to not hit the curb, not pull forward once.
@@bimbobisbo1623 I'm right. I have more driving experience then most. I remember 15 years ago how long it took to master backing up b trains, fuel tanker. I remember 3 am on a Saturday after working all week trying to back in on an angle, in-between fuel pumps and building with no light with a foot of snow on the grown. All I'm saying what he did was not impressive, almost any CDL driver can do this with the amount of attempts he took as long as they're patient. If he backed up in 1 try I would be impressed. From the looks of it I'm sure it won't take him long.
I grew up on a farm, and I was always impressed by how my dad could back up a pair of grain wagons into the barn, and they have TWO pivot points each. I could barely manage to back up with one wagon, so I understand how impressive this is.
I'll never forget the time I removed one pallet from a semi trailer. After he pulled away I realized he backed into the loading dock with two trailers attached. I was so impressed, and also felt bad he all did that for one pallet.
Whats impressive about this? It took how many goes? We tow b.doubles which are b.trains. 26mtr long. 62.5tn. Should of got in there on one maybe 2 goes. There is nothing hard in this video at all. It hurts just watching this as it's 2nd to none for us. Why even film your self when your this bad. You should film your self when your better. Practice makes perfect. Then once you have learnt how to reverse a b.double (b.train). Give the road trains ago. 3 to 4 trailers and sometimes a road train is made up of 3 b.trains. that's 3 sets at 26mtr long. In total that's 6 trailers. But I don't understand why he filmed him self taking so many goes. Us in Australia and New Zealand would of done it in 1 or 2 goes
Just a few weeks into my B train career. Hoping to get the hang of backing these things! I actually learned a lot from all your different attempts. Now to see if I can put some of it into practice. Thank you for sharing!
Dude!! I know many Truckers who have been in the business for 30 plus years and I DONT KNOW ANYONE that can do that!! That’s super impressive!! I didn’t even think that was possible!! Wow!! I have seen it all now. I have another friend of mine who pulled b train but they would pull into a lot, unhook the trailer and another rig picked it up!! Then he backed in the main trailer. I have never EVER seen this! I never thought it was possible!! Kudos to you, that my friend is rare skills!
I tried a b-train at the truck school one day. I couldn't even back it up straight 10 feet without it going all over the place. That's true talent right there, you make it look so casual and easy.
Kudos my friend kudos!!! I consider it a job well done just to back my 48 foot gas trailer out of some of the gas stations I deliver to. That’s a totally different level of trucking. Much respect!!! And for all of you super truckers out there, that wants to talk about how many times he pulled up. You try it, I bet your mindset will change quickly.
Some guys would still be there trying to get backed in. 🤣😂Probably receiving mail by now. This driver got it in there nice and straight with just a few tries. Awesome job!
Hey man that's hard enough. I don't know how you guys get into and out of those little gas stations and stores on a busy street without wrecking something. I always try to give them as much grace as I can if they need it. Their job is hard enough on a good day.
Me: has trouble backing a 14 ft. trailer behind my pick up. I have so much respect for you drivers backing big rigs. You dual rig drivers that can back like this are the greatest! WOW! Nothing but respect young man.
My driving instructor said he would start every student out on a lawn tractor pulling a small trailer, if he could... because they get so squirrelly when you try to back up.
I drive a wrecker had tow a one ton with a 40 foot goose neck trailer. I had to bring it to where it could be off loaded. Had to back it in from the week side. First time backing something like that. It took me awhile to figure it out. Was getting stressed but finally got it in the building after numerous tries. You just have to go with it and take ur time. Props to the guys who do this every day.
What is the difference between an A and b train. Here in Australia the truck set up in this video is called a B double. A road train (which is what I drive) is 2 or 3 trailers with a dolly in between each trailer. It seems there are different names for the same set up around the world
yeah the whole key is to keep thinking the whole way down and not to be afraid to reset it :) truck can move both ways but people reversing seem to forget that
@@fowlsy71 A train is a separate dolly that hitches to the back of your lead trailer with a fifth wheel on it. B train is a set of axles that are attached to the lead trailer, all one piece with the fifth wheel on it. Guys that pull LCV use the A trains. The 2 53' trailers you see on the highway.
@@RaneBane what you call a B train is called a B double in Australia and is up to 26 meters or a bit over 85 feet long.where as a road train is as you describe a dolly behind the lead trailer and another behind the second trailer if it is a triple road train and is up to 53 and a half meters long or around 175 feet long
Sometime I've had trouble with a 53' in a KW with a 86", but he put two 48's in a alley dock off a 90 degree in a Pete...HE A BAD DUDE.......ALL RESPECT......Keep the dirty side down and the shinny side up !

I drive 53 foot and 40 foot trailers and the 53 is way easier to backup than the 40 foot. Shorter it is harder it is to backup. I’ve never tried b-train it’s probably hard as hell to backup!
@@charles-antoinelapierre7167 wow I never thought 40ft and 53ft would be so different backing up, really interesting and it really shows to me even more the savagery of what he's doing, thanks and hats off to the both of you for your skill, knowledge and patience with other inpatience car drivers
The B train is known as the “backable set” for a reason. A true B train due to the lack of a converter dolly makes it easier to control. We’ve got a guy at work who docks triples.

That was B E A Utiful to watch. Drive 45' ers in the UK, the thought of doing it with a double trailer and a cab with a big nose like you guys have boggles my mind.
Well done. Steering a short spread-axle B trailer with a long steering -resistant tri-axle A trailer is a next level challenge. The middle section was on the blind side too but you perfectly got all the ducks in a row.
@@stevenray787 had to back a set about 300' on I70 due to an accident near KCMO. A lady officer told me they would hold traffic behind me before the exit. I told her it would take a few minutes. So as i am backing to the exit they start to go their own way and she yells on the pa "just back straight up" She had no clue.
Kudos! Not many these days show difficulties they go through to reach perfection. Well done for showing the good, the bad and the ugly. It's sure as hell something I couldn't do.
As someone who has spent many years driving 5-axle trains, I am very impressed, well done. That spread axle on the pup must really throw off your ability to cut it over easily. I love the challenge of backing them, but customers who don't have yards big enough to take a set of trains to pull through don't have any reason to receive a B-train load of product.
Impressive. Once she gets a little funky you are best to stop and straighten it out again. The uphill to the lot and your rear tandems split does not help either. Well done. Patience and persistence come in real handy with a set of trains.
Patience and persistence. You are absolutely right. When applying those two things, I've gotten my trailer into places I never thought possible. Well said
Your right about straighten out. I drive a LCV road train. Been driving regular truck & a 45’ back in day then 48’ and now two 53’ with the converter dolly double axle with pental hook. I tell you been driving the LCV road train only about 5 years . That is a real pain in the butt backing them up with 3 points of swing behind your cab. I really like what I do now pulling the LCV. I find it very relaxing on the highways with DOT law of 90 max. Everyone can just pass.. We’re paid by hour, not mileage.. There is plenty of work too and we’re not taking someone job by pulling 2 the extra trailer.. Company’s are crying for drivers to pull loads.. That fellow backing up that B train, Is very professional . I can only imagine backing up that unit with the wider sleeper and chrome sun visor is not easy.. it takes time and patience . BTW I’m 72 almost 73 and been driving USA & Canada 45 years but everyday is a new learning experience .
That was amazing! CZcams recommended this video and I thought backing doubles would be dang near impossible! Love the sound of that engine on my iPhone
I hope many of the people in the cars that had to wait or passed by appreciated just how much skill this takes. I am not a trucker yet I do play American truck Sim and Euro Truck Sim 2 with a wheel setup and know how difficult it can be to back up stuff like this in the game is and that's still just a game and not the real thing. I can say I have much more appreciation of truckers and the skills they have ever since I started to play these games about 8 years ago.
Marvellous job with the trains!! From guy who never hook up to a set of train. still have reposition myself sometime 2 or 3 times with straight trailer lol Roll on driver and may you have safe trip alway 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Well done mate, I generally have a rule that I give myself 3 attempts then I'll split them. But persistence gets you there in the end, you drove it like a pro.
@@ryannelson2211 little effort to split, less embarrassing if your there all day trying to reverse the trailers up and there is many other trucks waiting to get in, and some of the older trailers are bent and don't align or you can't see and your playing a guessing game: Roll down the legs on the 'B' trailer, unhook the air & power, pull the pin, move forward, roll the 'A' trailer back and back it on to the dock. About 10 minutes and your done. Then unhook 'A' trailer (Legs, Air, Power and Pin) and go get the 'B' trailer (Legs, Air, Power and Pin) and back it on to the dock. And then you need to put it all back together. Prime mover, 'A' trailer then 'B' trailer. (B-Double in Australia).
@@bh7538 You're right about equipment that is beat up, out of alignment, worn out turn tables, etc. I always try to use the front trailer to control the dolly of the back trailer. Works for me. Take care.
Just started watching this type of stuff today and I know nothing about this type of shit but what I do know is you make it look easy and thats a sign that you're a master of your craft. Well done I think.
I'm new to trains. I'm pulling michigan heavy spech gravel trains. Best piece of advice I've gotten to date was, "When backing, be a placer, not a chaser." This was some impressive shit, driver!
It took me about 1-2 weeks of backing into a busy truck stop every day after work to get the hang of backing up a super-B. For those that want to know how it works, the second trailer (Pup) goes the same direction your steering wheel is going and then your first trailer (lead) you back up like you do by turning it the opposite direction. So pretty much once you get the angle of your second trailer you need to begin correcting your lead trailer by turning the steering wheel the opposite direction until the angle sticks. Takes awhile to get used to but I prefer driving super-B’s in the city over just 53 footers since they track nicer. Some days I can back into something like this first try, other days I’m looking back through my mirror wondering what the fuck is going on back there
Wow good job! Backing up a 53” with traffic tight corners and People watching me is ulcer growing time. You were calm and cool all the way. Beautiful sounding rig. Keep the dirty shiny side up and stay safe.
Umm, I don't think the average person knows just how impressive that was.
When you got them lined up perfect you can just feel it’s gonna work. What’s the point of doubles tho? Do you carry that much more?

I didn't think you could back up a double like this guy doesn(maybe a little in m/l a straight line). How the heck do you dona triple?
Key is to stay calm and just keep thinking through it which he did, a lot of people get overly excited when things don’t go right.

the three wheeler at the end chillin by the building is icing on the cake
Excellent video, the work of a professional truck driver backing doubles in a tight space,well done dude 🤟🏻
THIS GUY SHOULD NEVER BE UNEMPLOYED!!!!👍👍👍👍👍 GOOD JOB !!!!!
Whats impressive about this? It took how many goes? We tow b.doubles which are b.trains. 26mtr long. 62.5tn. Should of got in there on one maybe 2 goes. There is nothing hard in this video at all. It hurts just watching this as it's 2nd to none for us. Why even film your self when your this bad. You should film your self when your better. Practice makes perfect. Then once you have learnt how to reverse a b.double (b.train). Give the road trains ago. 3 to 4 trailers and sometimes a road train is made up of 3 b.trains. that's 3 sets at 26mtr long. In total that's 6 trailers. But I don't understand why he filmed him self taking so many goes. Us in Australia and New Zealand would of done it in 1 or 2 goes
@@DaGeneralLeigh nah, this is a wholesome video. Shut up.
video proof dont just yap@@DaGeneralLeigh
I've always thought backing up doubles was a pain and this video proved my point but you make it look easy.
I have trouble backing the utility wagon with my ATV. This man is awesome!
I'd love to have the skill to drive a b double like this dude, the skill involved here is way beyond what most people think
I drive 53 foot and 40 foot trailers and the 53 is way easier to backup than the 40 foot. Shorter it is harder it is to backup. I’ve never tried b-train it’s probably hard as hell to backup!
@@charles-antoinelapierre7167 wow I never thought 40ft and 53ft would be so different backing up, really interesting and it really shows to me even more the savagery of what he's doing, thanks and hats off to the both of you for your skill, knowledge and patience with other inpatience car drivers
Wow high level of difficulty, never seen anyone back up B train trailers before. Very Cool!!
The B train is known as the “backable set” for a reason. A true B train due to the lack of a converter dolly makes it easier to control.
We’ve got a guy at work who docks triples.

@@DaGeneralLeigh if your a trucker, I don’t think you’ll be coping and pasting the same comment over and over, giving truckers a bad name sir
Truck drivers don't get the props they deserve, very skilfully executed my guy.
That was B E A Utiful to watch. Drive 45' ers in the UK, the thought of doing it with a double trailer and a cab with a big nose like you guys have boggles my mind.
Looks like the 12 dislikes are swift drivers who can't even back up straight in a empty parking lot. Good job sir!!
Hahaha 😂😂
Lmao
Great job. Always keep your cool and go slowly enough to correct your mistakes. Nice!
Well done. Steering a short spread-axle B trailer with a long steering -resistant tri-axle A trailer is a next level challenge. The middle section was on the blind side too but you perfectly got all the ducks in a row.
Very impressed. From a uk trucker who has been driving longer than you've been alive.
Sometimes it goes on the first try, and sometimes it's going to fight the whole way back. Nice work.
ok- I thought I was a rockstar whipping the city trailer around with oncoming traffic back in my grass cutting days...this is madness!
Takes less time to Drop And Hook
Total respect 👍👍👍👍 I'm always blown away at how "easy" drivers make it look backing into crazy places like this ..
I've had a Class A CDL for many years been driving for many years never have I seen anybody do something so phenomenal
Damn straight job ,,, awesome.
From a Fed Ex doubles driver here.
Its impressive. But he doesnt have 3 pivot points like we do. UPS twins driver here.
@@marcmo7138 good call friend...very true
@@stevenray787 had to back a set about 300' on I70 due to an accident near KCMO. A lady officer told me they would hold traffic behind me before the exit. I told her it would take a few minutes. So as i am backing to the exit they start to go their own way and she yells on the pa "just back straight up" She had no clue.
@@marcmo7138 oh heysuse, man I can see that in my mind...300 ft...and a clueless cop
I drive FedEx doubles and heck it ain’t easy trying to back. U def have some serious skill dude!!
I can’t even back up my pickup truck and one trailer that well let alone two trailers. Well done!
It just takes spacial awareness and practice. It's like manoeuvring a pallet jack, if you imagine the truck to be the handlebar.
Kudos! Not many these days show difficulties they go through to reach perfection. Well done for showing the good, the bad and the ugly. It's sure as hell something I couldn't do.
As someone who has spent many years driving 5-axle trains, I am very impressed, well done. That spread axle on the pup must really throw off your ability to cut it over easily. I love the challenge of backing them, but customers who don't have yards big enough to take a set of trains to pull through don't have any reason to receive a B-train load of product.
Amazing skill! I struggle to even walk backwards!😆
Heck, i dont think i can even do this in American truck sim ar first person lmao
Impressive. Once she gets a little funky you are best to stop and straighten it out again. The uphill to the lot and your rear tandems split does not help either. Well done. Patience and persistence come in real handy with a set of trains.
Patience and persistence. You are absolutely right. When applying those two things, I've gotten my trailer into places I never thought possible. Well said
Your right about straighten out. I drive a LCV road train. Been driving regular truck & a 45’ back in day then 48’ and now two 53’ with the converter dolly double axle with pental hook. I tell you been driving the LCV road train only about 5 years . That is a real pain in the butt backing them up with 3 points of swing behind your cab. I really like what I do now pulling the LCV. I find it very relaxing on the highways with DOT law of 90 max. Everyone can just pass.. We’re paid by hour, not mileage.. There is plenty of work too and we’re not taking someone job by pulling 2 the extra trailer.. Company’s are crying for drivers to pull loads..
That fellow backing up that B train, Is very professional . I can only imagine backing up that unit with the wider sleeper and chrome sun visor is not easy.. it takes time and patience .
BTW I’m 72 almost 73 and been driving USA & Canada 45 years but everyday is a new learning experience .
I've backed up doubles when I got myself into a dead end but generally the time is not worth it. It's faster to break them down and back them up solo.
the gear changes starts were smooth brother. I have no experience in the trucking world and that was enjoyable to watch
Brings back lots of memories - bad memories. Glad I'm retired.
That was amazing! CZcams recommended this video and I thought backing doubles would be dang near impossible! Love the sound of that engine on my iPhone
I hope many of the people in the cars that had to wait or passed by appreciated just how much skill this takes. I am not a trucker yet I do play American truck Sim and Euro Truck Sim 2 with a wheel setup and know how difficult it can be to back up stuff like this in the game is and that's still just a game and not the real thing. I can say I have much more appreciation of truckers and the skills they have ever since I started to play these games about 8 years ago.
Practice makes perfect!!! Proud of You!!!👍 I'm a truck driver, with a dolly is much difficult. 🚛 Keep up the good work!!!!
Pete sounds like an old Locomotive in this video
Sounds like a sweet little four and a quarter CAT linkage pump , best motor ever made.
@@terrydavis6132 or a sweet ole pre emisioned Cummins
Marvellous job with the trains!! From guy who never hook up to a set of train. still have reposition myself sometime 2 or 3 times with straight trailer lol
Roll on driver and may you have safe trip alway 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I drive a double road train in Australia and regularly have to back it. I still found this impressive. You have got some skills mate.
Reminds me of transfer trailers. Hard to back up but the guys that do it well are amazing to watch.
Well done mate, I generally have a rule that I give myself 3 attempts then I'll split them. But persistence gets you there in the end, you drove it like a pro.
I was just wondering how difficult it was to split them
@@ryannelson2211 little effort to split, less embarrassing if your there all day trying to reverse the trailers up and there is many other trucks waiting to get in, and some of the older trailers are bent and don't align or you can't see and your playing a guessing game: Roll down the legs on the 'B' trailer, unhook the air & power, pull the pin, move forward, roll the 'A' trailer back and back it on to the dock. About 10 minutes and your done. Then unhook 'A' trailer (Legs, Air, Power and Pin) and go get the 'B' trailer (Legs, Air, Power and Pin) and back it on to the dock. And then you need to put it all back together. Prime mover, 'A' trailer then 'B' trailer. (B-Double in Australia).
@@bh7538 You're right about equipment that is beat up, out of alignment, worn out turn tables, etc. I always try to use the front trailer to control the dolly of the back trailer. Works for me. Take care.
I’ll be the first to admit I can’t back a set. Good job. I couldn’t have done it. I’ll stick to my long wagons
That was awesome. I think once you figure it out then your confidence simply explodes. Very few can do that. Outstanding
Just started watching this type of stuff today and I know nothing about this type of shit but what I do know is you make it look easy and thats a sign that you're a master of your craft. Well done I think.
Cheers to you that was stressful just watching I would of quit that day lol
Wow that my friend it's freaking impressive.
I'm new to trains. I'm pulling michigan heavy spech gravel trains. Best piece of advice I've gotten to date was, "When backing, be a placer, not a chaser."
This was some impressive shit, driver!
Wow. You certainly made that look easy!!! I can't even imagine!! 🙂👍
It took me about 1-2 weeks of backing into a busy truck stop every day after work to get the hang of backing up a super-B.
For those that want to know how it works, the second trailer (Pup) goes the same direction your steering wheel is going and then your first trailer (lead) you back up like you do by turning it the opposite direction.
So pretty much once you get the angle of your second trailer you need to begin correcting your lead trailer by turning the steering wheel the opposite direction until the angle sticks.
Takes awhile to get used to but I prefer driving super-B’s in the city over just 53 footers since they track nicer.
Some days I can back into something like this first try, other days I’m looking back through my mirror wondering what the fuck is going on back there
I figure it’s bout like towing a tractor trailer and backing up. It takes some practice. Good job sir!
Only ever driven a semi. You are the man!
Wow good job! Backing up a 53” with traffic tight corners and People watching me is ulcer growing time.
You were calm and cool all the way.
Beautiful sounding rig. Keep the dirty shiny side up and stay safe.
Mad props man!! I would of given up. Say to the customer "get a fork lift out here " lol
One (1) Word, “Impressive”. 👍👍👍
Job well done. You will never catch me backing a double, but man was it impressive to watch.
Dude knows how to drive thats for sure. Mad props.
