    I honestly do not care who you drive for, I respect anyone that takes one of these rigs down the road. Without you, we do not move forward. Always, give the man/lady driving that truck the respect and distance they need to get from A to B safely.

      Thank you. Wish all drivers would be considerate as you. I don’t think many drivers know how much room we need to stop. But they keep cutting us off, or slamming their breaks to give another car the right away.

    Early in my trucking career I did some long haul work. But you only back up a trailer once every 3 or 4 days. It was always embarrassing. Then I got a job as a city P&D driver. Now I was backing up 15 to 20 times per day. That's when you really start to get the hang of it. Practice makes perfect.

      A lot to be said about this. I dunno why, I got my cdl's in 2011, couldn't get hired in any job until 2013 as a yard dog. Bad luck I guess, I put in applications every weekend (didn't have internet at home). But as a yard dog, I mastered backing in trailers from almost any angle (even blindside). I could put a trailer anywhere it needed to be, no problem. But that came at a cost, road experience. I didn't have the experience to haul a load from one city to the next, but when a driver couldn't dock their trailer after 20+ minutes, I offered to help and planted their trailer within minutes. A trade off I guess. The trailers I parked in the yard didn't even have room to walk between them. Tight room, but hard practice. That practice of backing up makes a huge difference.

      @@stevenp9209 Unfortunately no, I do not have a CDL job at the moment. This is mostly because of a decline in health due to the side effects of contracting cancer and the side effects of treatment with chemo and radiation catching up with me, even tho I'm cured. I still retain my CDLs, and my current boss uses me when needed as his most experienced driver for shipments or heavy fork lift situations as needed. My old employment with the yard dog job was not pleasant to say the least. My employer was terrible about maintainance on the trucks (broke down often), terrible when it came to winter gear (chains for the tires), and the contractor we were hired with was terrible about maintaining their equipment (the trailers) and the yard. The overall experience left a bad taste in my mouth with regards to the trucking industry. But don't let that be a discouragement to you if you're thinking about joining the trade. My experience was just a bad dice roll in life (among others). Two close friends have recently gotten their CDLs and are working closely about starting their own fleet and bringing me on to help. You never know what doors might open by getting your CDLs.

As someone who is climbing through the ranks of the freight and heavy equipment industry failure/a bit of struggle is only a part of learning and gaining the experience required , something I wish someone had said to me starting out. Driving the truck is easy putting your pride aside and asking questions when failing can be a pride shot to some fellows and should never be viewed that way to better your experiences on the long haul in my opinion 👌

    First rule to backing. Never back up unless absolutely necessary. The set up for backing is very important. Never ever attempt a blind side backing; try to keep all objects in your mirrors. After setting up to back your trailer; turn the wheels and slowly walk the line. You want your trailer to enter the space without hitting other trucks or trailers. Adjust the wheels while backing and pull up if necessary.

      There’s nothing wrong with blind side backing (if you have no choice) the key to blind side backing is getting out as many times as necessary and continue to visualize the distance and room you have between 2 trucks. The biggest problem with blind side backing is people don’t get out and look. Some docks around the country require a blind side backing otherwise you won’t get on the door.

    • @sword-and-shield
      @sword-and-shield Před 6 měsíci +2

      "Never ever attempt a blind side backing"...proves little experience. Sometimes there is NO choice. Blind side isn't some major problem unless you lack the patience for all the stopping and getting up from the seat to look out passenger mirror or window.

      Schneider gave the proper training
      Best company when it comes to safety
      Not much for the pay but since you are new, it’s good to learn about safety first because you take that proper training wherever you go and mostly like you will be a safe a great driver your whole career thanks to the training you had at the beginning

      Pay was not that good when I worked with Schneider, but they will give you good training
      If go for dry van you might get the least pay, ask them for intermodal, with intermodal you will get pay more although is more of a hustle.
      Schneider used to have a program where you can get your license through them but you have to commit to work for them at least two years
      Most companies won’t hire new CDL drivers if they don’t have at least two years of experience
      I work on intermodal, I do regional runs
      I feel happy here
      Been doing this for over 8 years

    @uuuummm9 Před 2 lety +6

    I learned how to park trailer in ATS/ETS. And I have to admit this video would not give me a lot of hints. The most difficult part is when you are inside the truck to "feel" how you should maneuver to make the trailer moving as you wish. When you look at it from a "bird position" it is very different (much simpler). And my finding from the learning process was that while you are learning it is actually better to wheel harder (more than you need in fact) just to feel the reaction and understand how the whole system behaves. And of course the fact that you have to keep in mind that additional "chain" at your back which makes you do things opposite to what you usually do when you part a regular car (like when you feel you need to turn left, it very often means you have to turn right).
    So it is quite difficult (as for me) but also a lot of fun. I parked a lot of virtual trailers and now can do it even from the first attempt (without additional forward-back aiming as in the video). :)

When i got to Schneider, the instructors were amazed with my skill at backing, that One of the two "Mikes", Big Mike & Lil Mike, literally bet me that i couldn't one shot back a trailer into a spot, with fully extended tandems and along with them decreasing the operating room for the tractor. BET! One shot, backed in between two trailers with four inches of gap between the two trailers i back it between. Don't Play with me, Give Me My Money!
