LGV/HGV How to reverse an artic into and down a tight back alley #hgv #hgvdriver #truck #trucking #truckdriver #entertainment #learning #driving #reverse
Best advice I was ever taught by my instructor when I was a cocky new driver all those years ago was “if you can’t see what’s there, stop, get out and look”.
Hey mate am on an older video of yours here absolutely incredible driving mate am baffled how you reversed a rig that size out that one lane street down that road well done
A great vlogg as always my mt I've followed u from day 1 with the old channel and the new 1 now don't forget mirrors lol keep up the good work buddy keep on trucking 🚚 mt 💯👌👍👍👍
Stressful reverse - got it dun though with no collateral damage - You should do a reverse 'tips' video as it is without doubt the most difficult aspect of arctic' driving
I had enough years of doing that in and out of London 5/6 dayia week.I just dont need the stress and agro of it anymore i stick to night trunking these days its much easier.But you're absolutely right if in doubt get out and have a look.And as good old Ralph at Stockport HGV training said to me all those years ago DON'T BE A CU#T JUST GIVE IT A SHUNT!!!🤣🤣
Nice one Barry lad … always if in doubt.. get out …. I had one our our lads out with me for five days and I said to him to try and blind side is much as you can … he is out on his own and doing fantastic… drive safe pal
Should get yourself one of those wireless reverse cameras, easy to put on and easy to take off, screen is inside, makes reversing 3 times easier because you can actually see where shits going.
That's NOT , NOT on your blind side , (that's a gift to some blind side reverses Some Men I know have HAD to do) as one of them Men would say , "only saying" 🤣
It was for a block of flats that was being built. There was a crane in there waiting to lift the concrete flooring beams off the back of the trailer and up to were they was going to get fitted. Only way in and out of site was down that alleyway
Going forward because you have got the angle wrong on the trailer. Either too much lock or too little. You pull it forward a bit to get your unit in a better position to complete the manoeuvre.
It’s a bit of an Awkward one that. I work for a company round that area that delivers Furniture. I get some Horrible reverses quite a lot. Passed class 1, 1 year ago. Been on class two for experience and jumped on class 1 about 2 months ago.
There is no way I would attempt that - I would not place ANY wheel(s) on that pavement - look at the old houses, they may very well have coal cellars under/near the pavement & it also looks like the cable companies have been digging & we all know how good they are at backfilling. All the time us HGV drivers continue to "manage" things are hardly likely to improve.

@Matt-wr9cc You probably couldn't even drive a 9 iron down a golf course pal. Stop talking shite
Don’t know why this was recommended to me, but I enjoyed it!
Blindside??? You went in on your goodside!!😆😆💪👍

Don't care how many shunts I do as long as I don't hit anything . Some days straight in others not so great . Nice vlog.
Great driving there and I would be worried about getting out!

It's a knack. You either have or don't. Practice makes perfect.

Well said Derek
That was a top class reverse in the DAF XF Barry.

Nice driving. Does an experienced bandsman make a huge difference?
Nice area! looks like it's needs knocking down not more shite being put up!
Nice moves btw skills!!
My dad this in a 40 ft at smithfield Market London..was amazing x
Stressed just whatching 😮

Been doing depot to depot since passing 2 years ago im gonna be fucked if i get sacked as i would not even attempt this, hat off to you.
Each tricky reverse is one for the cv pal
Brilliant reverse although should never be sent to those places in an artic truck

Very tight barry, you can do it
ive just past my hgv 2 no way could i attempt that one
I would have switched that bloody reverse horn off.
Apologies if I'm dense, but what is a "shunt" that you're trying to avoid?

@@Brickhazard thanks for explaining
What was the total length of your unit and trailer?
Reason I ask is because I know the street you are on and the alley you are backing down.
@@user-dy3vt9sg8jI’d say 40 ft trailer plus can 50 ft all in all
@@user-dy3vt9sg8j40ft rear steer trailer, plus the unit, so about 50ft in total

I'm sweating watching....😓
Ridiculous that they even send you down there. You'd have enough trouble with a rigid body through there...
nothing is to difficult for u buddy
10 shunts better than one bump... fooking hate filling in forms
Where is the tight alley ???
Down by your mothers house
@@ChattingWithMeHGV are you on drugs ?? You sound like Peter Kay on crack , but just not funny..
Thanx. But your mother still liked it @@waynekerrr9027
@@ChattingWithMeHGV you still taking crack, or have you moved on to something more harder , like your dad's c###
