It sucks that truck drivers are not considered a "skilled" position by Border Protection so I can't get a work visa to migrate to AU from the US with my family. At least we can still visit. Great job backing, we have guys here that can't back a single 53' as easy as you back that B double.

I watched a Jim Pearson driver do this at Woolworths Acacia Ridge depot without even stopping. He did the same as this guy and put the b trailer straight down the guts of a finger dock. People who have never driven a truck can’t appreciate how good these guys are.

A few decades ago a bunch of clowns in suits decided to class truck driving as unskilled labour. Yeah righto. What you're seeing here is just the driving part. Then there's the knowledge of weights, measures and correct load distribution. Then there's dangerous goods, safe load restraint and food transport, all separate knowledge bases in their own right. You can't get a degree in it but it takes more than three years to accumulate this knowledge in full and much like doctors, dentists and nurses requires upgrading as the standards change and techniques and equipment improve.

Totally agree with what you have said back then it was a passion for a lot of drivers I still work for the same company and have seen different people coming through and for lot of them that passion is not there it’s just A way to earn some decent dollars That is my view anyway thanks for the comment

@@TheTerry1818 Have to be honest I haven't driven trucks for 14 years. I've been driving buses, currently charter work. I like where I am but I'm looking at going back to trucks but moving up from HC to MC. I'm in Perth so a lot of B double and road train work. I've been in transport and logistics most of my working life. I've worked everything from order picker to truck driver and been a transport supervisor and yard manager. My stepdad drove his own trucks in the 60s, last one being a Mack muncher. He advised me a long time ago to steer clear of driving trucks if I could. I've always had a draw to it, partly because not everyone can do it. Unfortunately it seems a number of employers are now putting unskilled/unmotivated people in trucks. Whether it's a passion or not there's a basic integrity of doing what you're paid to do to the best of your ability, that includes improving knowledge and skill. There's a major problem with attitudes, not just in truck driving. I'm now 58 with a daughter in year 7, started late. This will be the last hoorah before leaving the workforce, probably 10 years or so. Thanks for taking the time to reply, cheers.

@@AW-pz3qc 5 years later and I still live right near their Port Macquarie depot, The only difference now is I'm mainly in My bus out cruising the highway with them. Some of the new trucks they are getting look Mint, I've noticed they seem to be moving away from the Freightliner Argosy's and towards the Mercedes I think the Actros in all clean white with just the logo. Rather then the red and white paint scheme, The drivers are definitely awesome always get a friendly wave from them.

Depends on the skill and experience of the driver (drover) I have witnessed more than one B-doublist being told to vacate the yard and come back one at a time. I have also seen them tangle themselves up so severely that hoses and electrical lines between trailers were broken -- and THAT really takes up EVERYBODY'S time while mobility is restored. On the other hand I have seen a guy put his 2 trailers up a fairly steep ramp and into a finger dock - between bollards protecting the doorway - at night. That deserved and got respect. But why back into a dock and then break up the set and do it all over again ---- can't see any time saving there - just laziness at the expense of those waiting to get past to another dock or to just get out of the place.

It definitely is more easy to take sharp turns with two trailers than on long trailer without crossing lanes. Backing would still be more difficult. The truckers in Kansas haul 130 foot long wind turbines it’s ridiculous looking at one long straight trailer like that. They have to block off the road for them to turn. The US still has doubles and Missouri and Kansas have 100ft triple combos just not common.
