today we're going to talk about
backing we're going to do the classic 45
but we're also going to show you how to
modify that a little bit
in case you have limited room forward of
you so
today herb's going to be moving down
parallel to the hole
our hole is right here
he's going to stop about halfway to the
hole
he's going to observe the hole check it
out make sure there's no obstacles or
anything that could interfere
and then he's going to drive forward
until his left shoulder is about halfway
down the next trailer then he's going to
start out going to 12
noon and then he's going to cut it back
hard
to nine o'clock now if this was limited
forward room
instead of going to 12 only go to about
10
30 and then start coming back to the
nine and that'll give you more forward
room
so we're going to get herb going here
and again he's creeping he's not going
fast
that's important you want to stay
somewhat close to the hole
you don't want to be 20 30 feet out from
the hole
and what he's going to do is get about
halfway into the hole and he's going to
stop
and now you can see he's observing
what's going on behind him
any obstacles there he's looking for the
other side seeing obstacles there
now what he's going to do is he's going
to go to his mark up here
and begin his turn to 12 o'clock
so when his left shoulder gets halfway
to the trailer middle of the trailer
which it is now
see starting a hard hard right
he's going to hold that hard right until
the tractor comes to the 12 o'clock
position
now he's hard left coming back to the 9
o'clock position
when the tractor comes to the nine
o'clock position you're gonna see him
straighten out his wheels
and come to a stop
okay so now we're gonna get out we're
gonna walk around the trailer
checking for obstacles on all sides of
us
to the left to the right up down behind
us forward everything
you just never know what you're going to
run into
so we go all the way around
this is called the blind side when
you're on the passenger side of the
trailer
this is the blind side this is where bad
things happen so
when you get out to look make sure you
make a full walk around
don't just walk where you can see walk
all the way around it's really going to
save you a lot of time and aggravation
he's going to put his seat belt back on
you notice his four ways are engaged
he's going to tap the horn so now he's
going backwards now he's at
idle he's just taking it easy notice the
steer tires are straight
he's not turning them yet notice how the
tractor is
starting to angle the front of the
trailer back
and the back of the trailer is starting
to turn in
so now you see at this point he's going
to start coming left with his steer tire
so he's turning left see the trailer
is starting to back in now
starting to go back in he's hard left
right now
but one thing we noticed there see he's
coming in too deep
he's going to be hitting that trailer if
he kept going back
so now he's going to pull forward wheels
to the hard right
and again just that idle he's going to
go to the hard right
and then he straightens it out and he
looks behind him
and he's got a real nice angle going
back
so again you're just turning the steer
tire to drive the
trailer tandems into the holes and you
see now they're going in
if you notice the steer he's not turning
the wheel crazy
don't turn the wheel crazy a little bit
here a little bit there
and now he's angling in you'll see him
start coming back with the wheel to the
left so now he's straight with his
tractor and his trailer
and you can see him going into the hole
again at idle
and you see he's in the hole he's
backing up to the front of the trailers
even with the brown drill next to them
and that back is complete
so today we learned about the classic 45
degree angle back
we also showed you how to handle if
you're limited to your forward room
if you have questions on any other backs
and there are many there's the 90
there's just a number of other backs
straight backs and so forth
that are available to you if you got
questions on any of those backs
speak with your leader and as always if
