    The game is called "My Trucking Skills"
    The game is available on PC, you can find it on my website, mytruckingskills.com/games/

    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.

    I just want to let you know, I just started my first local trucking job. Our terminal is small and I was having difficulty backing a 53ft into our dock. I watched this video really quick before doing it and was able to dock successfully between two other 53fts. Thank you very much for this information!

    Ive been driving 27 years, have pulled all sorts of equipment, oversize, and backed thousands of trailers in virtually every kind of scenario. Just want to say to all of you just starting out...the more you do it, the better you get! Really awesome of this channel to give references to help! Stay safe out there and we will see ya on the flip

    I’m brand new to the trucking scene. I’ve been getting lucky with hardly any truckers parked at the truck stops when it’s time for my 10 hr reset. But damn do I struggle to alley dock even then. I’m definitely going to try this maneuver out! I tend to always overshoot my spot and set myself up perfectly to park where someone is already parked 😂 😢 I’m hoping I get the hang of it real soon! Thanks for everything
    Edit: 1 day after watching this video I did EXACTLY what you said and guess who parks with so much ease now!!!! You’re a god send man thank you so much! Well deserved subscription earned !!!!

    2 months in my trucking career and never had to do a alley dock parking maneuver before and was never taught in school. Until last week where I Ended up hitting one of my company’s trucks and did some damage. Nothing to bad just cracked the bumper. Watched this video and was able to pull it off this week 😂. Thanks man. Appreciate the vid

    Kinda defeated tonight.
    Couldn't get my 53footer into a tight dock between two trailers (no cabs there) and small front distance to other trailers.
    I tried everything they taught me from training in the sleeper cab. To 12, to 9, 45 degree back.
    The end result is that the day cab I was put in isn't like the sleeper, at least not enough like it that when it is the end of the day, with my Hours of Service almost up, to get it in in a timely manner. I logged off with 22 seconds on the clock, not finishing my paperwork or anything. Failure does suck.
    Oh well, live and learn. Being a rookie with no previous experience this is all new and extremely fun, but man it the learning curve been steep.
    If anyone made it this far, the guy at the facility must have taken pity on me cause he switched my door to one with nothing in front of it, making for an easy back...which took me longer than normal, with more pull ups than I would like, due to already being frazzled by the previous door. Even left my good flashlight on the ground (hope it is still there in the morning).
    I can't give you the good ending I want to here. I run a day cab so I can get home to see the family...and like a wounded warrior who failed on the battlefield the wife had to come get me (ugh). Talk about salting a wound...drug her out of the house an hour and a half in Christmas traffic to get me because I was stranded due to hours of service....whew.
    Let me end this positively: I have something to strive for and overcome (get better at backing and learning the day cab). Funny thing is we rarely realize that the things we overcome eventually are what life is...and I plan to get real good at this really fast, I just couldn't do it with a count down timer in my face.
    Peace all.

      @Bendigo1 Před 3 lety +3

      A rule of thumb is to keep away from the wall a minimum distance of half the tractor length from bumper to rear axle. You don't want to let the rear axle of the tractor to go past that point.

    I’m really struggling with my reversing at the moment, it’s driving me crazy as I been driving for 18 years all different classes, it’s extremely frustrating as I have done some good backs many times but I can’t reverse some days, I get extreme anxiety if I know people are watching and it’s a tight space which is bad because I basically fall to pieces, if I’m on my own with no one around I’m fine. The places I go to have yard marshals and they used to let me park in a place where I could practice reversing in, about 2 months ago they stopped drivers parking there and only certain trucks can park there now so I’ve basically not had any practice reversing there, when I finally get to reverse and everyone watching I fall to pieces and look like a complete idiot. It’s affecting my everyday life as I think about it everyday and I would love to perfect my reversing and stop worrying about this bull!!! the only way I can think of to practice is going to motorway truck stops, last time I did I never hit anything but was struggling and drivers watching me lol
    1 old miserable driver came upto me and said ‘ your not doing very well are you’ and complaining about he’s paid £10 to park and I shouldn’t practice there. I tried explaining this is the ONLY place I can as all the FedEx/TNT and pallet networks I go to have yard marshals and you can park or reverse anywhere your not allowed to. Sod em!!!

      You shouldnt care about what others think brother, youre doing something thats specialized that very few people know how to actually do backing up anykind of truck like this requires an immense amount of patience, understanding and finesse. These people think its like a car and id bet most of them would give up because its too hard, youre different though and persist, you got this bro.

      As someone who also suffers from anxiety, all you can do, is all you can do. Relax, breathe, focus on what you're doing and imagine yourself being the only one on the place.
      Real drivers take their time and will understand if you're struggling. They struggle too.

    I just got a job driving a semi and Im having difficulties reversing especially in tight areas. Reversing in rigid trucks are easy but the articulated is another story. can you give advise on how to reverse in tight or narrow areas. also when reversing straight, for some reason the trailer decides to go of course. Is there a way to fix that? I seem to over correct and I stuff myself up continuously. I know how to reverse my car trailer but reversing a semi is a different ball game.

    • @MyTruckingSkills
      @MyTruckingSkills  Před rokem

      When reversing straight, you need to look in both mirrors when backing up and the image in both mirrors need to look the same with regards to how much of the trailer you see. Playing my game will help BTW, it teaches your eye hand coordination. There is a link in the discription for it. Plus I have like 100 more videos your can watch.

    WOW, looks so easy, but in reality it isn't
    First time I back into a dock, it took me 30mins, know ones help, drivers just watch, and I am sure make comments over the CB, but I all good I got it in the lane.
    Coming from hauling livestock and never hit a dock, I was very proud of myself.
    Hit getting the chute in livestock you have tons of room, chutes are not that close at all
