    The game is called "My Trucking Skills"
    The game is available on PC, you can find it on my website, mytruckingskills.com/games/
    It can be played with any type of controller.

    This Trucking Game may not be a view from inside the cab, but it's the most realistic physics that a truck makes where you get to understand how to truck operates in reverse. American Truck Simulator (ATS)and European Trucking Simulator 2 (ETS2) are the best trucking games that you get, and I recommend that you play them, but my game is created for people to just get used to reversing a trailer.
    I have heard from so many users that truck schools across the country use my game and use my videos to show their students how to back up.

    13 years of driving around Chicago. My advice, do it fast like a bandaid. Just make the turn using the entire road. And I mean all of it. But do it quick enough that no one even has time to cut you off on the inside. Works like a charm.

I was turned sharp enough that the trailer wasn't visible in my convex and the truck didn't have hood mirrors. Not blaming the truck, I was the guy driving it, I should have gone wider.

    When I drove OTR I started out on the east coast and I'm from the midwest. Never drove a rig before and I learned driving a rig really quick... Lol. That east coast sucks and those 4 wheelers are nuts. Watch those mirrors at all times, especially on right turns. What I learned was to hug that curb with the trailer keep those idiots from trying to get past you during a turn. On right tight turns I turned into the curb, then swung left just enough to make room for the turn keeping my trailer on the right as far as possible. If you can drive that damn east coast you can drive just about anywhere. Good luck to all you new drivers, stay safe and watch those mirrors and keep them clean. Your mirrors are your best friend.

      I know that sounds safe but you are pretty much getting into 4 intersections instead of just 1 .. so I feel like it would be maybe more dangerous.. I’ve driven a bit in cities.. Dallas .. LA .. Salt Lake City .. Chicago.. Portland.. and they’re all different but I realized that a lot of people see you and try to get out of your way or give you space to get by safely too .. or you can wait and turn when it’s safe to go ..

    I was well trained to do bottom hooks for right turns safely with respect and courtesy for others drivers at the intersection and people love it when a perfect set-up can be done to perform that right turn without bother them to backup. His advices are good but never think the turn that you already know it woul be always the same like he said never take your eyes away from everything while performing a turn. I woul say never move faster than you can see.

      Shultze and Burch at 35th & Racine is where I usually drop and hook. The trailers we pull are mostly pieces of shit. Most of which cannot have the tandems slid back and forth.. The right turn from 35th S to Ashland W is very challenging when your tandems are all the way to the back.

    Hmm,I think maybe aiming for the nearest curb or just before the curb for the left hand turn and just following it makes sense to me rather than going straight past and then adjusting for the curb. As for the right aiming just before the yellow line in the left side could be good enough. The trailer from a certain point of view ends up where you are looking but just in a delayed manner.

  • @autk
    @autk Před měsícem

    Stay straight turn late...and get all the real estate you can in setting up before you turn and when you see the opportunity...also if you see you're blocked sit still with your signal on honk and motion that guy stopped across the intersection to come on out, you have to wait for him in tight situations sometimes, no other way to make some of those right handers especially in older cities. I've gotten out with the hazards on before to splain it... everyone can wait, or you will twist metal and really screw up everything.

    I was the car that took the inside one time, for the right turn. As soon as I was making my move three different other drivers started honking at me. Fortunately I stopped and let the trucker do his thing, taking up the left two lanes and into a single lane on the exit of the turn. All turned out ok and I had to endure some cat calls (stupid #ucker) and nasty looks. It was a tight turn though and the trucker was taking all of the two right lanes at the beginning of the turn which is why I originally ‘thought’ I had the free right. That was 25 years ago and I am still a little more watchful.

    I drove tractor trailers in downtown San Francisco for 20+ years. Steep hills, stop lights at the top were always red, somebody on my ass, right turns only, one way streets, people everywhere, super narrow alleyways…. Let me tell you how to drive and survive in The City.
    Never a problem for me.

    Hello, guys
    Thank you for that great video! I am myself working in a trucking company and it is very hard to defend against inc. guys when accidents take place. Some drivers just do not let the driver to complete his maneuver... and then wonder why we hit them
    Do you have an advice on how to defend against claims from inc. companies?
    Thanks

    In Europe, the trailer overhang is usually longer. You have to be extremely careful in the narrow lanes so as not to damage a car with the rear of the trailer.

      It's 61.5' for truck and trailer length in Europe. US length is 73'
      That's just a truck and trailer.

    The CDL manual says never back up because you might hit someone behind you, Wait for the the vehicle infront of you to move

      Exactly correct! They back up to allow you to make the turn or we can sit there all day and look at one another. 32 years and I don't back up.
