Plus if in doubt, get out and look!
Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, as long as you get that unit and trailer where they need to be, you've done your job 👌
Bare in mind you've still got to leave enough space between trailers to drop your legs down. Glad your helping new drivers. Good stuff mate 👍
Doing what I can 😅
@@truckinguk Good man 👍
If there are any older driver's with a drivers gut could be a bit tight..I've see them hooking up a container/fridge and have to leave enough room to connect suzies before 5th wheel 😂.
I was thinking same thing - very tight squeeze for driver and legs cranking arm
Its not something I'd advise doing all the time, but you can put the air all the way up, get out, drop legs, then reverse in, and lower trailer again, if the gaps too small to effectively crank your legs. Kind of like what shunters do
Still gotta reach that park brake though xD
I do this everyday when returning my tanker and i always park it between two other tankers..one day i park with 3 spaces and found it harder 😂.
Who here reverses into a tight spot 1st time but if you had a wide open bay always duck it up? 😂lol
I would drive just past the empty bay then hard left lock so as you can reverse trailer in strait without all that bending .
I respect you man, you work hard, have good energy, always seem happy. Fairplay. I hope that life treats you good
great vid pal.. i know guys will really appreciate the effort you put in to do this.
Keep em comming
Thank you for the support man ✌🏽✌🏽 I will keep putting a 100% and make better videos
Great video Buddy,very informative.
Good video, another tip when reversing in a place where there are lines painted on the floor like at an RDC, if you keep your trailer wheels as close to the inside of the line as possible then you shouldn't hit anything on the opposite side, if in doubt get out and look. Its a pity the drone footage didn't work.
Make sure you read this comment guys
You were showing off
No explanation detected 😂
Brilliant 🎉
Fabulous stuff 👏👏
Thanks mami
Wish u could see some of the farms in the Scottish Borders where I used to go, that gap is no problem.
There are acres of space here to reverse that in.
You do not need space at the side of the trailer to wind the legs. Park up, pull forward, drop legs, lift cab, back in. Simple
Is the cab is tight to the trailer, pull pin, trailer brake on, pull forward, disconnect susies, Simple.
Risk involved in this is little to none. You may catch a buckle if you are slipping early.
If you find it hard, then once you have done it, pull out and try again, and again and again. Practice, learn and move forward.
If you were blind siding this then it would be risky not to get out half way to check, but its still a straughtforward job.
Practice - Practice - Practice.
When you get to the point of not thinking about what you are doing while doing it, then you will find you can slide one anywhere.
Made that more difficult than needed. I reverse into tighter spaces every day with less manoeuvring room.
Had you kicked the cab to the right when finishing your positioning manoeuvre and then started to reverse it would have been so much easier.
Very Well done buddy well explained 👍👍👍
Cheers boss
Nicely done.
Cheers pal
That yard looks similar to mine, like its been pelted with artillery fire. 😆
well done lad 🎉
Cheers mate
Years ago, first, ever artic delivery i was asked to pull in yard drop trailer on bay 5 and park unit on other side of yard as it was dead tight.
All went well then shunter said done a good job there mate but now pull out n open your back doors ffs, never done that again 😂
I done the same muse to be honest 😂😂
nice driving that, straight in and not even a shunt forward. I've had my class1 all way back from 2006 never used it really, been driving class 2 mixers and last 8 years on big mobile concrete boom pump. Finally had enough of the boom pump its a real slogger and im brushing bk up on my class1 in-between doing class2 haulage work for agency. Im fine on the road, not a problem its the reversing just need a couple of hours on then im away, could risk it now but after seeing how tight some of the distribution yards are when I went out with someone, think more practice is needed. To be honest was astounded that they don't have any banksmen to safely watch that huge blind spot on your left side for you. Majority of accidents happen on loading bays yet they don't have anyone banking. Coming from construction background I know we moaned a bit on health safety stuff, but this really needs sorting out nationaly. Keep up the god driving :]
im same mate, ive had my class one since 1989, never driven one in a job only rigids, ive been on and off driving hgv for that long, not been driving now for 5 years and going back, really want to now drive artics but like you said on the road fine, just the reversing scares the shit out of me as i know id fuck it up every time, the test revers is useless to real situations, need to pay someone to take me out on just reversing lessons
Good info pal ! As a new driver reverse is the hardest part of the job for me, or any new driver I guess
Cheers pal, it was really hard for me at the beginning but it gets easier with practice
Also a new driver struggling with reversing
This was tight but at least there was quite a bit of space at the front to get a better angle. I can't imagine reversing with half the space there. It would be much harder. Especially to bring the cab around.
Doing my training for S Reverse/ couple uncouple. Very nervous the way trailer/tractor behave if you get it even slightly wrong with slight left or right turn
How long did it take you to get ok with the reverse part of driving?
Nice 1 👍
✌🏽✌🏽
Well done son be good help for new drivers
Thanks dad
Can u make more videos same reversing but in different situations. Pls and thank you
What kind of situation mate?
Im a new driver. For example in the yard u have all the trailer facing one way. Some job sites have trailers that are parked sideways. And sometimes u have to park in spots on ur left hand side and park with the blind spot. If u can make a video on where u can explain things such as from what point to turn if u parking in a blind spot. And how to make the reversing as easy as possible for a new driver. Thanks 😊
A heckuva lot more space there than Hellmann at Lichfield! Good vid though
this is the employment test at any company.
Do you have any foreigners from the states working in trucking? Is it hard to transition from US trucking to UK trucking?
To be honest mate I never hear of anyone from America that works here as a trucker… you would make more money in the US
Have a try doing it off blind side
I can yea
I'd have had it done in less time than he took talking about it.
Watch out for mark meadows at h and m, he’s on forklifts and the snake scratches cars and puts nails in tyres, a proper rat
What the bloody hell is he doing bags of room
Any newbies lift mid axle when u reverse
I’ve delivered to your place, drive into warehouse 😂
How long did it take you to find the depot 😂
Fortunately I know the area I knew where you were, but felt weird driving into the warehouse 😂
I'm going to send the drone up... no drone footage! surprised you didn't drag it out will all the filler comments for youtube ads...
professor green long lost Bruvah
😎😎
As a 10 year tramper and shunter im telling you that you've made a massive meal of that especially as you have a massive run off in front
Why are you hating on the him. He is doing a good deed helping who he needs to help. Come on...
You didn't leave much room for someone picking up the trailer on your right to wind the legs up.
Piss easy you have a big yard with loads of space you should have some of places I've been to .
I need work for my husband please help me God will bless you
Not a big deal... you hadn't any obstruction on your sides
Terrible place to work owners and managers are complete donuts
What's the problem
Are you an ex Kingo? You look so familiar
Its not Rocket science
For some ppl it’s, remember we all have to start somewhere
I was not criticism but there will be time the yard your in will not be big enough to get that far forward
In my first day in H&M I did hit a trailer coming out the yard. 😂😂 remember we all have to start somewhere
@@michaelleaperGreyhound You mean your not criticising. His whole aim is to teach new drivers fella.
Always know it all drivers who were absolutely amazing at reversing from day 1. #knobs
If you knew what you were doing to start with you’d have cut that angle down to as straight as possible instead of cutting in like that. Absolutely no need for that manoeuvre. Only saying through 30yrs experience 🤷🏼♂️
Why say things in a nasty and hater way instead of say it in a nice way so we all can learn something from you?
30 years of experience in the trucking world tell me load about your actitud about your job performance how you treat customers.
Feel sorry for you
If you want to comment yes go ahead but don’t be a hater, no one likes a hater
It’s not being said in any way, that’s your take on it. Tbh if you spent more time concentrating on your own abilities, and less time trying to be famous, you’d become a far greater driver over all instead of advertising your employers warehouse and procedures for all to see, security risk just saying 🤷🏼♂️👋🏻
And you still think it’s not hate in this comment? I am doing my job while I am recording, what’s wrong with that?
I am still doing my job while I do what a like to do which it’s videos on the site, H&M are well happy for me to do what I am doing so why should I listen to you?
I hope you have a good day anyway subscribe and like we want you here 😁
@@truckinguk dont be so soft. Its a mans job afterall. If you post something, prepare yourself for a comments, some of them will be nice some of them not. Just dont complain about the 'haters' like a sissy :D
You just make it look easy 😒 it’s not.
Is not that hard mate 😅
You didn’t really explain anything
